With one hand, neo-liberalism offered individual rights; with the other, it took away most people’s ability to enjoy them.
@leifur How was this one?
@blueberryjams@mastodon.social It's a very neat little book. It exceeded my expectations because I'm not super into "slice of life" as a genre. There are little bits of the book here and there that I would have liked to see a little more fleshed out but that's on me, I always want my romances (even if they're side plots) to be very romantic, but I guess that was not the priority! Which is ok!

Started reading this immediately after I closed Bookshops and Bonedust and I did like this better. The « Coffee Shop AU » vibe did not put me off (former barista, I don't find coffee shops cozy, it's a me problem, not a fanfic problem) and I liked all the characters though there was a bit of googling to figure out the contours of this fantasy world. Orcs are unmistakable, but I had no idea what a rattkin or a hob is, for example. I still don't know what the character Calamity is supposed to look like. But it didn't much matter, because I had a blast reading this, and would definitely read it again.

I really liked Satchel, and the author character was great too. And though I like a lot of the individual ingredients in this particular hot drink, there were parts of this that I stumbled over, I'm not entirely sure I can quite explain it. I wonder if it's because I read it before Legends & Lattes? Maybe I should have gone in order of publication, instead.
@blueberryjams@mastodon.social I just finished it!

As someone who has never found the "Coffee Shop AU" genre of fanfiction particularly reassuring or cozy (blame it on the time I worked as a barista, it sucked) it took me a while to get to these but so many people have asked me what I think of this series as if it was a given that I've read them already, well, perhaps it is time to submit to these expectations.
