Legends & Lattes by Travis Baldree, 296 pages.
Kara wrote about this cozy fantasy novel last fall, and I completely agree with everything she said there. Viv is tired of her lifetime of adventuring work and violence, and so decides to take a magical artifact to give her a head start and moves to a new city to open a coffee shop. This is made somewhat more difficult by the fact that nobody there has ever heard of coffee, and there are a few other elements giving her trouble as she tries to leave her old life behind. But she quickly builds a new life with new friends and supports (and love?) and manages to find a new way of being.
This is a very low stakes novel, but that can be nice sometimes. I think this book pulled me in less than it did other people, but I still enjoyed it and found it sweet. It's a nice, casual book to unwind with.
