This cozy fantasy novel was enjoyable and relaxing. Viv is an orc barbarian who is ready to retire from adventuring and pursue her new dream of running the first coffee shop in the city of Thune. She buys an old livery and transforms it, along the way finding friends in Cal, a fey carpenter who helps remodel the livery, Tandri, a succubus who becomes Viv's co-barista and business partner, Thimble, a ratkin baker, and Pendry, an aspiring bard. Viv also tangles with an old rival and Thune's organized crime element.
I liked this book a lot. The plot is quiet and largely devoid of suspense or serious action. The focus is on Viv starting a new chapter in her life, reinventing herself, and finding her community. It also concentrates on the process of building and creating something. It was lovely and just what I needed.
