Review: Bookshops & Bonedust
Bookshops & Bonedust is a prequel to Legends & Lattes.
I totally enjoyed this cosy fantasy set in a small seaside village.
Viv finds herself recuperating from a battle injury in the small seaside town of Murk. All Viv wants to do is get back with her unit and capture the elusive necromancer Varine.
Aside from two fight scenes Bookshops & Bonedust is as cosy as they come. Every character is endearing from the potty-mouthed bookshop owner to her pet gryphet named Potroast. Bookshops & Bonedust is filled with plenty of good clean humour and heart.
Many reviewers have stated the first book was better but not having read Legends & Lattes I can't compare. I loved Bookshops & Bonedust for what it was, light-hearted and fun. It's a story about friendship and a bit of a journey for Viv to think through what she truly wants from life.
I loved the characters' passion for books and a good scone.
You know you've read a great book when you close it wanting to read more from this author.
If you've never read fantasy before, Bookshops & Bonedust would be a great place to start.
My rating 5 / 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
