![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Now I shall join their choir, as this book deserves all the praise. The blogging community was completely right for putting this book on everyone’s radar, and credit goes to them for doing so. So when UK Tor acquired Baldree’s book for publication and offered a review copy, I jumped at the chance with some nervousness but also excitement at trying something new. What if it didn’t live up to my expectations? What if I found the pacing too slow and wanted more action scenes, as I am known to do? I’ll admit, whilst I’ve watched tv shows, I’ve never actually read a slice-of-life fantasy before and therefore didn’t know what to expect, yet I was curious. The hype surrounding this book was immense, bloggers were an absolute powerhouse for promoting this book, and in all honesty this intimidated me. Originally self published, Legends and Lattes caused quite a stir upon its initial release. This is a tale so simple yet so wholesome and adorable, it has made me see just how versatile the fantasy genre can be. Legends and Lattes isn’t just a cosy, slice-of-life fantasy, it is a hug after a long day, it’s that first bite of chocolate you’ve been desperately craving or that first sip of coffee, it’s pyjamas and blankets and everything else which brings comfort and warmth. Travis Baldree turns from the man behind audiobook narrations for Forthright books, to writing his very own debut novel, and I’m so glad he did. ![]()
