Viv's career with the notorious mercenary company Rackam's Ravens isn't going as planned.
Wounded during the hunt for a powerful necromancer, she's packed off against her will to recuperate in the sleepy beach town of Murk—so far from the action that she worries she'll never be able to return to it.
What's a thwarted soldier of fortune to do?
Spending her hours at a beleaguered bookshop in the company of its foul-mouthed proprietor is the last thing Viv would have predicted, but it may be both exactly what she needs and the seed of changes she couldn't possibly imagine.
Still, adventure isn't all that far away. A suspicious traveler in gray, a gnome with a chip on her shoulder, a summer fling, and an improbable number of skeletons prove Murk to be more eventful than Viv could have ever expected.

A fun read through a relaxing small town with great characters. I really like the slow pace which contrasts with the restlessness of the main character.
I'm usually not into prequels but in this case I'm glad I was unaware this was one until i started listening to it.
Once I got into it I enjoyed it a bit more than Legends & Lattes and I really liked the epilogue.
Again, would have liked this better if read by a woman but it was less jarring after having listened to the first one.

My perspective is different than most - I haven't read Legends & Lattes, and picked this up somewhat on a whim. I didn't even realize it was a prequel until the Epilogue.
Thoroughly enjoyed it though, and I'll definitely be reading Legends & Lattes too. Kingfisher's review on the jacket summed it up better than i could - "A warm hug of a book."
