I feel like I need to re-read the next one!
I actually liked this significantly more than Legends and Lattes, which I already liked plenty. There’s something Discworld-esque about the way they stumble into book selling norms. The found family element is strong, and I loved, LOVED Satchel. Good to see a younger and less wise Viv, too, and I actually really enjoyed Iridia and Highlark. Miss Zelia and Berk deserve their own book, too.
This prequel is an excellent follow-up to Legends and Lattes. Viv is laid up in a small seaside town, and in her boredom she decides to help some local businesses. There's a bookshop, there's a bakery, there's even a mysterious author living outside of town. I especially love how bonedust came into play. I love this world and all of its denizens. Because it's a prequel, you know Viv won't stay in the town, but I love how she helped out while she was there.

Boredom sends her into the musty bookstore, which she emerges from with a book and possibly a new friend.
The story was good, but maybe a little too cozy this time around. The middle dragged a bit for me, and I think I would have liked the intrigue to pick up a ...more
