"It's sweet, beautiful, and, most of all, kind." says Seanan McGuire's perfect blurb on the cover of Legends and Lattes by Travis Baldree. Yes! This fun fantasy novel turns the Dungeons & Dragons genre upside down and focuses not on death and destruction, but rather on the good – people helping one another. It's a well-written story of a retired fighter who goes into business as a barista, with coffee and croissants and lots of love.
