Um, I’ve never read a story with a drider in it, and when I googled it, I’m glad I haven’t (picture spider body with 8 legs and 6 arms) because this creature is scary! However, thankfully this is light and cozy with nary a scary thing to it at all.

So, come on over to visit a magically shielded place called Embervain, a fantastical place full of monsters and creatures who freely live apart from humans. I promise, they’re all nice with a bonus of two really cute minotaur kids that make an appearance.

Written well but way shorter and simpler than Legends and Lattes, this follows Gwen the aforementioned drider, trying to fulfill her dream of opening up a cafe. Hence, if you really liked the former and wanted something similar then I think you can’t go wrong! Enjoy!
