Review: Bookshops & Bonedust by Travis Baldree

I am extremely fortunate to be able to sometimes receive ARC copies of books, and cannot thank the Publishers enough for their generosity.

I review books on Goodreads, Instagram, TikTok, and Twitter, creating eye catching graphics, photos and videos. You can expect my reviews to be honest but never unkind. I’m striving to build my book reviewer profile alongside my journey as an author. 📚❤️‍🔥

My Rating: 5 stars!

If you loved Legends & Lattes, then you're going to absolutely inhale this one! This was everything I could have hoped for in a prequel story. The story once again centres around Viv, a battle hungry orc, who sustains an injury and is forced to rest in a seaside town called Murk. There she meets an array of interesting characters, all of which are quirky and well rounded. I absolutely love Travis' writing style, and how he crafts his characters with care. I found myself invested in every single one, and often caught myself grinning at Fern’s hilariously foul mouth and her lovable pet, Potroast. I’m pretty sure I sat giggling over the name for a solid five minutes – so clever.

The looming threat of the necromancer added a sense of danger to the plot, which really balanced the story.

The epilogue was… just perfect. I literally sighed with happiness when I put down my reader.

I can't fault any part of this book; it was wonderful and an absolute delight to read. A heartwarming story that’s perfect for those looking for a cosy fantasy read. 😊
