Book description
Travis Baldree really knows how to deliver the cozy fantasy goods, and Brigands & Breadknives is no exception. If you've been following Fern's journey, you know she's not your typical fantasy protagonist - she's a foul-mouthed bookseller who's seen enough adventures to fill three lifetimes, and honestly, that's exactly what makes her so relatable.
In this third installment, Fern decides to shake things up by relocating to Thune to help out a friend's coffee shop. Sounds like the perfect recipe for a fresh start, right? Well, anyone who's read Baldree before knows that "simple" isn't really in Fern's vocabulary. What starts as a charming renovation project quickly spirals into one of those ridiculous misadventures that somehow feel completely inevitable.
The setup alone had me hooked - Fern wakes up in a completely different situation with a legendary warrior, an imprisoned chaos-goblin who's obsessed with silverware (yes, really), and a hangover that probably deserves its own chapter. The mental image of this mismatched crew trying to survive together while dodging bounty hunters is pure gold.
What I love most about Baldree's writing is how he balances genuine character development with laugh-out-loud moments. Fern isn't just running from her problems; she's actually confronting who she is when stripped of her usual routines. The supporting characters feel like real people you'd actually want to spend time with, even the chaos-goblin with questionable tableware preferences.
The audiobook narration really brings these characters to life in a way that makes you feel like you're sitting in a coffee shop listening to Fern tell you about her latest disaster. It's the perfect blend of cozy comfort and genuine excitement - exactly what the fantasy genre needed more of.
