I adored this book. It felt like a warm hug; a cozy blanket wrapped around me on a chilly day; the first sip of hot cocoa/tea/cocoa after a cold walk; fuzzy socks…basically, all of the things that make me feel calm, held, and cozied up.
The premise is an orc opening up a coffee shop. Other things happen, but that's the delight of it: the tagline of "high fantasy, low stakes" completely delivers on its promise. As someone who reads entirely too many high stakes novels, this was a refreshing departure, and it was extremely enjoyable. I'm looking forward to Baldree's next novel.

I really enjoyed this book (but I have to admit, I love both nature and robots.) It's such a unique concept, and told with a lot of love and care. I appreciated Brown's gentle way of presenting the importance and detail of the natural world. This is definitely a story I want to share with the children in my life.
I no longer understand coffee purists who refuse to have instant coffee. Like "I only drink the finest beans I grind and brew myself" cool I made my coffee in 30 seconds and it tastes yummy :)
Current hyper fixation: tons of crushed ice in a big 40oz cup, squeeze 1/4 of a lemon, crush up some mint leaves, a couple glugs of lemonade and strong freshly brewed green tea. Mix all together and 😍
Todays green tea is one called Bangkok which has notes of lemon grass, coconut, vanilla and ginger and it’s next level good.
