Publié par Macmillan Audio.

Worn out after decades of packing steel and raising hell, Viv, the orc barbarian, cashes out of the warrior’s life with one final score. A forgotten legend, a fabled artifact, and an unreasonable amount of hope lead her to the streets of Thune, where she plans to open the first coffee shop the city has ever seen.

However, her dreams of a fresh start filling mugs instead of swinging swords are hardly a sure bet. Old frenemies and Thune’s shady underbelly may just upset her plans. To finally build something that will last, Viv will need some new partners, and a different kind of resolve.

A hot cup of fantasy, slice-of-life with a dollop of romantic froth.

not actually that cozy

Instead of the "Hero's Journey" with the world at stake, it seems this one used "Save The Cat" where only one person's whole world was at stake. (The fact that this was considered "cozy" makes me sad, but that's a reflection on English-language literature more than this book.) I listened to the author read it on Audible and -- in almost every chapter -- there is a reminder that the main character's whole life is at stake.

Folks who think this sort of stuff is cozy should really try out some Japanese light novels where you can visit delightful, imaginative worlds without any danger at all.

But, hey, there's no dystopia! That counts as something at least.
