        I also liked this book. As an aside, you might like “A Psalm for the Wild Built”. It’s VERY similar in vibe, not fantasy though. Hard to say sci-fi as it doesn’t feel super futuristic other than sentient robots that have disappeared.

        I’ll leave it there but it was the same relaxed vibes of L&L.

          Hmm, I’d probably call it PG13.

          The prologue has some fantasy violence / gore, and the main side plot is lesbian romance. Some sexual tension, and I think a fade to black, but I don’t remember anything explicit.

          I don’t know if this would bother you, but the language was like fantasy blue-collar. The protaganist is an orc and curses a lot, but I feel they were fantasy swear words and I don’t remember seeing any F-bombs

          The book’s main appeal is this wholesome, cozy vibe though. Even if some of the elements are for adults, it’s got good morals and a heartwarming message

      Edit: after reading the synopsis I think this is just too wholesome for me to poke fun at. Added to reading list.
