I struggled at first with this one. More so than I did Legends & Lattes. It was a little slower in the beginning. Didn't really get attached to many of the characters. Except for Satchel! I do love Satchel. The part that brought this from a 3.5 to a 4 star rating was the epilogue. That is the story I want. Will we get more Legends & Lattes? I don't know. We will see. If we do I want to see the epilogue of this book to be expanded on.

Still would recommend this. Travis Baldree is a great storyteller

Bookshops & Bonedust is a love letter to booksellers wrapped up in a high fantasy packaging. The recognition of the struggles of indie bookstores everywhere touched me deeply; we could all use a Viv (and Potroast) in our stores to keep us going.

It was a delight to return to this world, and get a glimpse into Viv's adventuring life. To meet Gallina in her early days, and spend time in the little seaside town of Murk. Fern was so incredibly relatable, I saw myself in her in almost every scene she was in.
