Väkivahva Viv-örkki on kertakaikkisen kyllästynyt luiden murskaamiseen ja kaulojen katkomiseen. Hän hylkää barbaarielämän ja perustaa vilkkaaseen Thuneen kaupungin ensimmäisen kahvilan. Uusi alku on kuitenkin huteralla pohjalla, sillä menneisyyden varjot seuraavat Viviä sinnikkäästi eivätkä paikalliset alamaailman hiipparit riemastu uudesta tulokkaasta. Kaiken kukkuraksi kukaan ei edes tiedä, mitä kahvi on!
Saadakseen kahvilan menestymään Viv tarvitsee rutkasti voitontahtoa ja luotettavia kumppaneita. Ovatko höyryävät juomat ja herkulliset leivonnaiset avain menestykseen ja ystävyyteen – tai kenties johonkin vielä syvempään?
As lovely and fun as I'd been hearing.

This is a fantastic January read for when the weather's bad and you're curled up inside. The plot is very slice of life focused, and it's as warm and cozy as the drinks described in the novel itself. Highly reccommend for anyone who feels they need to escape from real life for a couple of hours.

"A novel of high fantasy... and low stakes"
You get exactly as it reads on the tin for this book. It feels to me like a romantic comedy in book form. An orc woman stops adventuring to start a coffee shop. What follows is hi-jinks, suspiciously convenient events, and mostly non-conflicts. Even the worst thing that happens to the main character in the book is not so very terrible in the end.
Unless you are bothered by same-sex relationships, nothing in this book is a game changer for fantasy nor will it challenge your view of the world. Personally, I loved it. It's like a warm cup of coffee in the morning.

This book is super cozy! If you need a fantasy pick for a reading challenge and don't really like fantasy, I'd highly recommend it!
