Travis Baldree: Legends & Lattes (Paperback, 2022, Tor Books) 5 stars

Worn out after decades of packing steel and raising hell, Viv the orc barbarian cashes …

Listening to the audiobook: While I was charmed by the idea of Vivs story and about this loveletter to coffee, I'm finding both story and characters a bit flat and without layers. I love fantasy or sci fi that gives some revolutionary impulse or that include ideas about different/better societies and inacts revolutionary ideas. I can't find this in this novel, rather it expresses more conservative and capitalist ideas. At least there are some queer vibes, and I like the way different people meet and become friends and a small community.
