One word is all that is needed to explain this book: Delightful 

This is most certainly a feel-good book. A cozy coffeeshop AU with a gay couple in a D&D esc world. The descriptions are worthwhile and while the writing is simplistic it is easy to read and quite effective. 

I will admit there is no real complexity to the story, but I don’t feel it is needed. In fact, Baldree’s writing reminds me quite a lot of TJ Klune. It is a simple story of love and found family with wonderful characters and settings. 

It is not life changing or thought provoking… It is simply a nice steaming cup of coffee and a warm cinnamon roll on a cold morning. 

Go read it! It’s worth it.
