What happens when an elite warrior becomes the boon companion to a group of peaceful oddballs and begins to develop skills that have nothing to do with combat? Along the way to finding an answer, the hardened warriors in these stories find purpose, connection, and even love.
My latest SFF book review column for the Washington Post looks at System Collapse by Martha Wells, Bookshops & Bonedust by Travis Baldree, and A River of Golden Bones by AK Mulford (paywall-free link)

This week's recs are from the local library, and they all share a certain magical vibe. Also, I love how all of these are queer except for The Book of Magic, and only one has the sticker.🤣

I mean, I haven’t exactly made *progress* with this TBR, and I’ve definitely bought more books than I’ve read recently…but how amazing does it look 😍

Caribe's Fantasy TBR - Part 2
The 2023 favourites that are on my backlog..in this very specific category :D
Really looking forward to reading these! My partner is a high fantasy reader so I'll probably end up knowing the stories for these second hand if my partner gets to them before me. That's not a problem though, I'll forget the story 72 hrs anyway and I won't feel guilty about not reading them immediately lol.

I've been reading Bookshops and Bonedust (prequel to Legends and Lattes, very enjoyable btw!) Anyway I couldn't sleep the other night so I read a bit and fell asleep on it, and then woke up and read some more, and in-between I dreamed this whole other sequence. For several chapters I kept thinking "But what about that other tavern, and the mysterious fortune-telling woman, when is it going to get back to her" then finally i realized i had dreamed that part

Read recently: Bookshops & Bonedust by Travis Baldree
What I was looking for: Because I enjoyed Legends & Lattes, I had not really planned on reading this book. I was sure it could not compare. But then I saw it at my library and could not resist.
What I liked: I enjoyed the friendships in this book a lot. Especially between Viv and Fern.
What I did not like: The love story felt underdeveloped to me. I would not have noticed or minded if it had been left out. Or explored more.
Conclusion: I think if I had read this one first, I would not have liked Legends & Lattes as much as I did. While not high stakes, there is some more plot and excitement in this novel. If you are looking for a more calm fantasy novel but still with a villain to defeat but also with a focus on reading good books and eating good food, then this is the book for you.

"We mend the holes in each other's britches, as my old da used to say."
"Then why does this have to be the end of it?" The plaintive note in her voice almost made him reconsider. Almost.
It took him a while to reply. Patching the last cracks in his resolve.
"Because I'm headed down the hill, and you're headed up it. I'm just glad we chanced to meet on the way."
-- Travis Baldree, Bookshops and Bonedust
