“Travis Baldree does it again! A cozy fantasy mystery adventure that is an absolute delight to listen to.”

— Alana • Schuler Books

Bookseller recommendation

“Oh, it’s cozy alright! Brigands and Breadknives is basically Travis Baldree hitting that sweet spot between cozy vibes and edge-of-your-seat action—way more stuff happens than in Legends & Lattes, but it still gives you all the warm fuzzies. I was addicted! And don't even get me started on that little goblin sidekick, who is seriously the cutest thing ever. I'm a sucker for cozy fantasy and literally couldn't put this down. And if you are thinking of grabbing the audiobook? Do it. Baldree narrates it himself and nails all these different voices and accents—honestly, the audio version is THE way to experience this one.”

“For anyone who loves books about self-discovery, hard choices, adventure, friendship, unexpected characters, and swear words, this is your book. The third book in the Legends and Lattes series is an absolutely phenomenal addition to the world Travis Baldtree created. Read by the author, the audiobook is so incredibly immersive that you will never want to turn it off. I will likely read this many more times.”

“I devoured this entire book in one day. This one is one of my favorites in the series. I loved the coziness of Legends and Lattes, as well as Bookshops and Bondust. However, I am a fan of the increase in action! It feels just like a Dungeons and Dragons adventure! Zyll is the best character. Fight me. ”

“I love this series. It’s an easy read with endearing characters. The ratty bookseller is a keen observer of everyone and everything, except herself. Fern launches herself beyond the bookshop, betraying friends, and struggling to explain why or even apologize. A journey, danger, adventure, love, betrayal, friendship and a surprise ending ensue.”

“Fern is the charming, f-bomb dropping, unfulfilled ratkin of your cozy fantasy dreams! I can't think of a better afternoon than curling up with a cup of tea and one of Baldree's books. Brigands & Breadknives is lovely, fun, and terribly heartwarming. Throw in a dash of adventure, campfire evenings, a ferocious chicken-type animal that loves its goblin friend, and you don't need anything else. 10/10!! (If you love audiobooks, Baldree is a professional audiobook narrator!!)”

“An adventurous, cozy fantasy from the author of Legends & Lattes, and set in the same world. Fern, the rattkin bookseller, is an unlikely hero who finds herself in the middle of a tale, rather than reading about one, when she accidentally falls asleep on the back of a cart belonging to the legendary hero, Asterix the Oathmaiden. Mixing high fantasy with a classic road trip adventure, Fern and friends discover it’s never too late to change your story. Narration by the author adds dimension and humor to the story. ”

“I loved the first two cozy books in this series, and I couldn't wait to jump into this one. It has much more adventure and excitement than the previous two books, but still keeps the warm fuzzy vibes that we all fell in love with in Legends and Lattes. This book follows Fern, whom we met in Bookshops and Bonedust, as she starts a new chapter in her life. It's just not the chapter she was expecting at all, but isn't that just how things go sometimes? ”
