Our view
“Brigands & Breadknives” is the third “Legends & Lattes” book and the one that steps away from the pattern of the first two. It is still light, warm fantasy, now with a quest at its centre, and it finds something new to say about the series’ abiding subject, the need to belong. Some readers welcome that change; some who came for more of the same feel they were handed a different kind of story.
