Bookshops & Bonedust is a prequel to Legends & Lattes , but I preferred the first installment. I gave both books a four-star rating, but Bookshops & Bonedust is more like 3.5 stars.
Viv is forced to rest in a small town after sustaining a leg injury in battle. While there, she befriends the owner of the local bookshop, helps the struggling store improve, has a summer romance with a dwarf who runs a bakery, and gets into a bit of trouble.

This felt pretty slow, and I didn't like it anywhere near as much as Legends & Lattes. Knowing that Viv was just going to leave made me not really care about the love interest. Besides that, they didn't even seem to have any chemistry.
The parts I did like were in the bookshop. I would rather have just had a story with different characters that was set in the bookshop. I quite liked Fern and Satchel. Or if this had been written and published before Legends & Lattes, I might have liked it better ...more

The difference between this book and Legends & Lattes is that you know Viv is only here temporarily, and she’s going to leave all the friends she met here behind. The interesting thing is that it doesn’t even matter because sometimes it’s not about how much time you spend with a person, but the quality of the time you spend with them. I thought it was beautiful how all of them felt that it was worth getting to know each other even when they knew it would only be for a while.

I'm not sure what it is about this series that is so damned cozy and comforting, but here we are again. Just like finding a cozy chair in your favorite bookshop, this book is lovely and nostalgic and sweet. It's interesting, because it's not like nothing happens. There is a plot and intrigue and drama. It's just written in such a way that it feels like a balm to the soul. A love letter to books, if you will. Viv is one of my favorite characters ever and getting a look into her past (since I read

I got this book as a Goodreads Giveaway.
I found that it seemed to take forever for anything to happen. It was slow and boring in spots. I have decided that I am not a Fantasy genre lover. I will just have to find a different genre to try out.
