This series checks a lot of boxes for me. Lesbian relationship: check. Strong female lead: check. Fantasy setting: check. Reads like a cozy YA fantasy. I'd recommend people to read this book first (before Legends and Lattes), except for the Epilogue. Then, read Legends and Lattes, and come back to read the Epilogue from this book. I feel like this book strengthens the character development for Viv, and gives us a much better picture of her origin story. I'm kind of hoping he'll write more intermediate novels to give us Viv's full backstory!
