Travis's descriptions are so expressive that I not only saw everything like a movie but could almost smell the lightly charamelized and nutty scent of the brewing coffee or the sweet, intoxicating aroma of the cinnamon rolls. The length of the chapters combined with the flawlessness of the writing makes this an easy and enjoyable read. There was never a boring moment and every chapter mattered. I particularly liked the pacing of this book. The relationship between them feels natural, their inner struggles, relatable. The book was a refreshing break from my usual, darker reads and I loved every moment of it! The characters are well thought out who feel real, despite the fact that they are non-human. This is a sweet story about an orc barbarian who wanted to find out where does the other road lead.
