This book was so heartwarming and cozy! Brigands & Breadknives (Legends & Lattes, #2) was a journey of self-discovery, second chances, loyalty, and friendship. I loved the blend of wholesome friendship with adventure and disagreements. I enjoyed the inclusion of fantasy creatures including elves, orcs, monsters, goblins, and unique creatures. The world-building was lacking, but since it’s a cozy fantasy, it didn’t detract from my enjoyment too much. I was curious to learn about the history of th...

“Look, I didn’t murder anybody. I was barely involved except for the stabbing part.” It’s no secret that I adore this series. Every time Travis Baldree drops a new instalment, I’m like a cat who’s heard a can opener. And this one? Couldn’t put it down. Seriously. I sat down “just to start it” and suddenly I’d inhaled the whole thing like it was a fresh pastry straight out of the oven.This is cozy fantasy at its best, warm, charming, gently chaotic, and packed with the kind of heart that sneak...

I really enjoyed getting to know all the new characters introduced in *Brigands & Breadknives (Legends & Lattes, #2)*, but honestly, nothing else really grabbed me, which makes me a little bummed out ): If you're looking for character-driven fantasy book reviews, this one's got that covered, but the plot didn't quite click for me. Still a fun read overall, though!

Will I ever stop reading cozy fantasy even though I find it boring? No, because I *want* to like it, and clearly I never learn my lesson. In my defense, this one, Brigands & Breadknives (Legends & Lattes, #2) by Travis Baldree, sounded more up my alley, and it lowkey was… somewhat. I'm always on the lookout for the next best cozy fantasy book, and while Brigands & Breadknives didn't blow me away, it was a pleasant enough read.

I WOULD LAY DOWN MY LIFE FOR BUCKET AND HER CREW OF STUPID, EMOTIONALLY REPRESSED MORONS. Seriously, Travis Baldree's *Brigands & Breadknives (Legends & Lattes, #2)* has me completely obsessed. This book, like its predecessor, is just pure comfort. I'm a sucker for cozy fantasy, and Baldree delivers it in spades. Bucket and her ragtag bunch are the kind of characters you just want to wrap in a blanket and protect from the world, even when they're being utterly ridiculous. If you're looking for w...

While not quite as cozy as *Legends & Lattes*, *Brigands & Breadknives* is still a delightful and charming read. This time, we follow Fern as she navigates a sort of mid-life crisis, fueled by a drunken escape from her beloved bookshop.

The journey becomes a process of unpacking why she left, confronting her fear of change, and rediscovering what tr...

Goblins & Greatcoats ★★★★Sometimes you read a book at the wrong time, but sometimes you read a book at the right time, and I think I might have read *Brigands & Breadknives* at the right time. After I read the epilogue in Bookshops & Bonedust, I really thought I knew where this story was going, with the building of a comfy and safe feeling little bookshop!

Bless Travis Baldree for bringing us a third book set in the world of Legends & Lattes. And I mean it, wholeheartedly. He never fails to make me feel all warm and cozy in just around 300 pages, and this book was no exception, even if I liked it a little less than the previous two. Brigands & Breadknives is the first book that doesn't follow the orc Viv; instead, her well-read rattkin friend Fern takes the lead. We previously met her in Bookshops & Bonedust as the owner of a shabby little booksh...
