Bookshops & Bonedust by Travis BaldreeMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Travis Baldree's 'Bookshops & Bonedust' isn't just a prequel to 'Legends & Lattes'; it's a whole new adventure that takes us back to the start of Viv's story. She's the tough orc from the first book, and here, we get to see her younger days, full of energy and ready for battle. But then, there’s a twist. Viv gets injured and ends up in this small, seaside town called Murk to heal up. She's not happy about it at first – imagine being all ready for action and then having to sit still!
Murk might seem boring on the surface, but Viv's stay there turns into something special. She meets Fern, who runs this quirky bookshop along with Potroast the pet, and Maylee, a baker with a past as adventurous as Viv’s. The way they become friends is heartwarming and real. There's even a sweet romance tucked in the story.
This book has a bit more action than 'Legends & Lattes.' Viv deals with some spooky stuff like a necromancer and a mysterious guy in gray. But don't worry, the story still keeps its focus on Viv's growth and the friendships she makes in Murk.
Baldree writes in a way that pulls you right into the story. You can almost hear Viv’s thoughts as she learns to enjoy life’s quieter moments and discovers a newfound love for books. The scenes set in the bookshop are a real treat, especially if you love books as much as I do.
'Bookshops & Bonedust' shows us a different side of Viv. She’s not just a warrior here; she's a young person figuring out who she is, making friends, and growing in ways she didn't expect. It’s a story that many of us can relate to, especially if you've ever been at a point where you're figuring out what you want in life.
All in all, 'Bookshops & Bonedust' is a brilliant blend of fantasy adventure and genuine human connection. Whether you’re already a fan of Baldree’s work or just jumping in, this book offers a heartwarming and engaging story about life's quieter battles and the importance of the connections we make.
