Journal Entry 2 by ReallyBookish at Furlong, Pennsylvania USA on Monday, January 16, 2023
I started out loving this novel and ended up just liking it. Which is not bad! However, I was hoping to continue to love it straight through to the end. After the first third of the book, I found the pace rather slow. I think the book could easily have been 25-50 pages shorter and not lost anything. Baldree does write well, but what's up with the cursing? He crafted a delightfully cozy world and the curse words seemed out of place in it to me. The characterizations were good. It was not a bad book, but I think I was hoping for more coziness and a slightly faster pace throughout.

The wishlist book arrived safely today; many thanks! This one does look fun.

Later: Very cute concept, some marvelous characters - and the perfect fantasy-realm coffee shop. And while there are some tense bits here and there, for the most part it's just so... cozy! As a long-time D&D player, I appreciated the many tidbits about Viv's adventuring party, peeks at the kinds of adventures they went on, hints as to the back-stories of each of those characters - and the ways in which they came back in to the story after the now-retired Viv has set up her coffee shop and acquired some new allies. (And yes, I sensed that sparks might fly with Tandri from the moment she showed up, but the relationship was nicely developed over the course of the story.)

I also enjoyed the bonus story, "Pages to Fill," from one of Viv's earlier adventures; nice to see the gang in action before our hulking heroine got too jaded!

[There's a TV Tropes page on the book, with some entertaining tidbits.]

Journal Entry 7 by wingIddyluwing at Plainsboro Park in Plainsboro, New Jersey USA on Friday, June 16, 2023

Released 9 mos ago (6/16/2023 UTC) at Plainsboro Park in Plainsboro, New Jersey USA

WILD RELEASE NOTES:

In 1998, when I was just barely 8 years old, we moved to Plainsboro and lived just across the street from this park. This picture included here (of my dad, my sister, and our dog) was taken not long afterwards, and I released the book on the exact same bleachers they were sitting on in the photo.
