    "Legends & Lattes" by Travis Baldree


    Book number one of a three book fantasy series. I read the well
    printed and well bound trade paperback published by Tor in 2022 that
    I bought on Big River. I have ordered the second book in the series.

    I have read the second book, Bookshops & Bonedust, which is actually a
    prequel set well before this one. I have not decided about continuing.

    I thought Legends and Lattes was silly fluff, but I enjoyed it. I felt bad voting for it for the Hugos because I don't think silly fluff should be
    in the Hugos, but I voted for it anyway because I liked it a lot more than anything else running against it. It made me smile more than once.

    I read Bookshops and Bonedust because there was a copy sitting around at
    a friend's house and it was more of the same. Which is really more than
    I needed at the time.

    Yeah, I was not moved to get the first book, although it's available
    from the library. I might or might not at another time. It's not really
    my usual sort of thing, although it's good to mix it up on occasion.
