Light-hearted, friendships, sword fighting and brilliant pastries.

Travis Baldree’s vocabulary is phenomenal, or I’m severely lacking. Probably the latter.

I need to find a way to insert avarice, inanities, prodigious, dearth, frigate, apoplexy, avaricious and sepulchral in my daily vocabulary.

I’ve finished the Throne of Glass series and needed something cosy and easy to read after the heavy bulky pages of the series. This was a great book for this need and felt like a quick read.

I loved getting back into Viv’s world and the friendships she makes along the way. I found the plot underwhelming but I was more interested in the characters and their interactions anyway. I think Travis does a great job of humour and friendship.

That epilogue was fantastic, I loved the Legend & Lattes moment.

Anything Travis Baldree writes, I will happily read.
