Book number one of a three book fantasy series.  I read the well printed and well bound trade paperback published by Tor in 2022 that I bought on Big River.  I have ordered the second book in the series.
Viv is an orc who has been a mercenary for 22 years.  She has been in a small band of mercenaries who fight, apprehend, and do just about anything for hire.  Now she is going to start a coffee shop with her hard won savings in a small town that does not know what coffee is.  But first she has to build the coffee shop.
Seanan McGuire says: "This is a story about following your dreams, even when they take you away from who you thought you had to be.  It's sweet, beautiful and, most of all, kind.  I hugely recommend this book."
My rating:  4.4 out of 5 stars
