The perfect book to read while drinking coffee and eating a cinnamon roll. A cute, fun, cozy read about an orc wanting to live a life without violence while running a coffee shop in a city that doesn't know what coffee is. The characters were absolutely lovable- especially Thimble, the baking rattkin. 

This book is a low stakes cozy fantasy read, so the majority of it is Viv meeting folks and running the coffee shop, which is absolutely wonderful. But there are some darker, tragic moments partway through the book that were devastating. The world isn't ending, the hero doesn't need to go on an epic journey to save it; it's a fantasy slice-of-life story that warmed my heart like a toasty cinnamon roll.
