I loved the first book, and this book wasn't any less or more in quality. Legends & Lattes had this charming feeling to it I couldn't quite place, but after finishing Bookshops & Bonedust, I've now isolated what that feel is:

This feels like you're taking part in a D&D campaign.

Such a wholesome and endearing read, while the first book gave you a snapshot glimpse into the life of Viv putting down the Sword and becoming an entrepreneur, this book features Viv in her mercenary days when she first meets Gallina.

This book took a lot of what was in Legends & Lattes and reskinned it, the Dwarf who helped build the coffee shop in Legends & Lattes is reskinned as an Orc guy in this book that helps Viv fix outside the bookshop by supplying her some wooden planks. Maylee and Thimble are both bakers supplying unbelievably tasting treats to everyone, helping fix and spruce up the bookshop felt very similiar to Viv setting up the coffee shop in the first book etc. It really did feel like the same as the first book but slightly altered.

Regardless, I enjoyed it a lot, and Travis Baldree narrating his own book again is always a treat!
