![]() ![]() Viv dreams of getting out of that business, and she’s saved up for a long time and waited to get one more special item so that she can go off somewhere and start her own business as a purveyor of the gnomish delicacy ‘coffee’ or ‘bean water’ as the hob builder Cal calls it. ![]() ![]() Viv is the main character, and at the beginning of the novel, we see her finishing up what she hopes is her last mission. From fantasy we get a series of characters who fit into the basic D&D campaign, as in the barbarian (orc Viv), the rogue (Fennus), assassin, etc. Legends and Lattes takes a lot of very standard tropes but does not limit itself to fantasy. However, Legends and Lattes went on $1 sale for Kindle, and I figured, why not at least try it, it sounds like it might be ok. I have not had the best of luck when authors whose work I enjoy recommend other stuff I was definitely uncertain about Seanan McGuire’s recent recommendation since some of her tastes (inclination towards horror specifically) do not match my own. ![]()
