About this listen

Return to the cosy fantasy world of the No. 1 New York Times bestselling Legends & Lattes series with Brigands & Breadknives by Travis Baldree, a freshly baked adventure featuring fan-favorite, foul-mouthed bookseller Fern.

Fern has weathered the stillness and storms of a bookseller’s life for decades, but now, in the face of crippling ennui, transplants herself to the city of Thune to hang out her shingle beside a long-absent friend’s coffee shop. What could be a better pairing? Surely a charming renovation montage will cure what ails her!

If only things were so simple . . .

It turns out that fixing your life isn’t a one-time prospect, nor as easy as a change of scenery and a lick of paint.

A drunken and desperate night sees the rattkin waking far from home in the company of a legendary warrior surviving on inertia, an imprisoned chaos-goblin with a fondness for silverware, and an absolutely thumping hangover.

As together they fend off a rogue’s gallery of ne’er-do-wells trying to claim the bounty the goblin represents, Fern may finally reconnect with the person she actually is when anything is possible . . .

Editorial Review

A sequel sweeter than Thimble’s cinnamon rolls
When it comes to dark, chilly autumn nights, there’s no better companion than a feel-good cosy fantasy. And it just doesn’t get warmer or fuzzier than Travis Baldree’s Legends and Lattes series. The listening equivalent of a fleecy blanket and a mug of mulled cider, each story is unfailingly wholesome, full of heart and humour and buoyant with a cast of captivating characters. The latest instalment in the series is certainly no exception. Brigands & Breadknives centres on Fern, the rattkin bookseller with a delightful vulgar streak introduced in Bookshops & Bonedust. When she’s unexpectedly carted away—quite literally—by the legendary elven Oathmaiden Astryx, Fern is swept off on a madcap adventure that features, in no particular order, a goblin named Zyll with a penchant for filching silverware, two talkative elder blades, large venomous chickens, and a fresh appreciation for dry socks. Along the journey, Fern considers that perhaps living out campfire stories is even better than selling them. Baldree’s narration shimmers with a magic matching his writing, making this heartfelt story of veering off-path and finding yourself along the way all the more charming. —Alanna M., Audible Editor

What if the times of the first two stories were flipped from shop frounts to adventures? Better yet what if the entire story structure was flipped start with the happily ever after, still adventure in the middle, ending with standing at a crossroads and yet still an epic tale with a beautiful ending. Fell in love with the idea the "'Happily EverAfter" doesn't have to be a conclusion, a goal successful reached or a happily settling down, but could also be the adventure of no set goal or destination which makes you stop and realise that maybe you are already living your own "Happily Ever After"!

I have a rule: Never listen to books narrated by the author - just bletch! Travis Baldree has made me break that rule THREE TIMES! There is also a universal truth: Book 3 is never as good as Book 1. Travis Baldree makes a lie of this truth.
This is the story of the foul mouthed Fern the book seller and her "never going according to plan" adventures. no spoilers in this review, just a ripping good yarn told with the enjoyment and humour Travis must have felt writing it. Just. Loved. It.

Travis Baldree rocks!

I am still debating whether i prefer this to the second book. More adventure, less cozy but very much still character driven. Honestly Travis could do a dozen books or more in this world. it gives a taste of wanting more.

a fine read, worthy of the previous books

I really enjoyed Legends and Lattes, as well as Bookshops and Bonedust, so I was expecting this to be along similar lines. I was so glad I was mistaken. A beautiful story, not nearly as cosy, but still delightful all the same.

Not what I was expecting
