There were scheming gangsters, rogue adventurers, arson, assassination attempts… In fact, it was far more action-packed and high-stakes than I expected. This totally sets up what to expect from this book. The tag line is: a novel of high fantasy and low stakes. She has to contend with new-business-owner problems such as purchasing stock, hiring, pricing, and coming to a non-fatal arrangement with the local gangsters. Gradually, Viv hires new people and draws in more customers. She finds the perfect place for her new coffee shop, buys the property and begins renovating it, with a little help from a carefully-chosen carpenter.
It has taken its toll on her body and her spirit.Īt the start of the novel, Viv gives up her life of adventuring, retiring her blade, Blackblood, and committing to a civilian life in the city of Thune. That means fighting and killing monsters. Viv is an orc barbarian who has spent decades adventuring.
I am also hoping that it will lead to a spree of other Cosy Fantasy novels because they just became my favourite thing ever. I love that this Cosy Fantasy story has taken off in such a big way. What that means for us fans is that it’s gone on sale in bricks-and-mortar book shops and we can get our hands on a physical copy, rather than just an e-book version from Amazon. Travis Baldree is that rare inspirational tale of an author who self-published a book, which became a massive hit (and rightly so) and was so successful that a traditional publisher came knocking. In just over three months, it has got over 7,000 reviews on Goodreads. If you’ve been anywhere near the internet recently, you’ve seen this book popping up all over the place.
