About this deal
Comedy and melodrama mixed, wanting you to either laugh, cry or simply hope things will work out because we want our melancholy to be mixed with joy.
And every character (except two) is so gosh darned nice and reasonable and in touch with their feelings. You don't have to be an orc or bounty hunter to fully appreciate the themes in here—of starting anew, finding yourself and a place to belong, and opening your heart to never thought-of possibilities. But beyond the surface, there were a lot of relatably resonating themes that made Legends and Lattes so precious.
There were a bunch of characters that didn’t seem to move the story forward, and it took forever to get to the time travel part. Books on sale tend towards the non-fiction, coffee table style — cookbooks mainly, with the occasional travel guide or lifestyle tome thrown in. There, we follow along with four different stories of characters wanting to reconcile past arguments, find closure, or assure loved ones through the use of time-travel. The book really is a play in novel format down to the entire book taking place in the same room (one of the time travel rules is that you can't leave your seat).
