Review:  The Amber Hops: A Retired Paladin’s Guide to Magical Brewing (A Cozy LitRPG Adventure) (The Green Sanctuary Book 2) by Beatrix Penrose 

Rating: 4.5⭐️

The Green Sanctuary series is written by Beatrix Penrose, an author who has become a favorite of mine recently. 

This cozy LitRPG fantasy series is engaging and fun, each book short and satisfying. 

In The Amber Hops, our retired Paladin, Sir Alaric Thorne has managed to save the day but more drama awaits him and his newly established farm. 

It’s magical hops, inter dimensional visitors and tax drama on the horizon! All great fun woven together with new characters and light suspense. 

It’s highly enjoyable, well written and easy to pick up and read through. 

A terrific story and absolutely my recommendation!

Love the cover and wish I knew more about the artist.

Sir Alaric Thorne saved the farm. Now, he has to save the party.

After successfully smiting the blight and telling the Empire to shove their taxes, Alaric just wanted a quiet season to watch his World-Tree grow. But the tree has other plans. It’s produced a crop of Amber Hops—glowing, vibrating cones of starlight that make a beer so good it literally attracts tourists from other dimensions.

Welcome to the Root & Radiance.

With a grumpy Dryad as his brewmaster and a crew of Dwarven masons building a tavern out of Deep-Earth marble, Alaric is no longer just a farmer. He’s a publican. But running a sanctuary isn’t all sunshine and sourdough.

Between an Imperial Auditor looking for an excuse to salt the earth and a Fae Queen who wants to “borrow” the World-Tree forever, Alaric is going to need more than just a legendary spade.

He’s going to need the perfect brew.

What to expect in Book 2:

  • Tavern Management: Watch the Root & Radiance grow from a dusty barn to a multi-dimensional hub.
  • Advanced Crafting: Deep dives into magical fermentation, Void-forging, and “Soil Editing.”
  • New Allies: Meet Iron-Side the Pacifist War-Golem and Vex the Shadow-Miner.
  • Goliath being Goliath: Our favorite teleporting goat has reached Level 5 and developed a taste for temporal pancakes.

Grab your mug and pull up a chair. The harvest is just getting started.

The Green Sanctuary

Review: Last Boss Farm: The Conditions Book 3 by Beatrix Penrose 

Rating: 4.5⭐️

it’s absolutely amazing how much quiet emotion and beauty fills her 42 pages of this finale story. 

Last Boss Farm, the tale of how Malgrath the Undying, the world’s oldest villain successfully managed to retire from the System and become the the world’s first Keeper, is a tale of quiet life, daily observations of those around him, using his long accumulated knowledge and wisdom but towards different goals. Renovating a rescue farm and building a new life for himself and those around him, including the creatures who come in need of help and a sanctuary. 

It’s incredible that Penrose builds deeply believable characters and a farm location that grows in structures and detail throughout the series with such a small number of pages. But she creates a narrative that brings a sustainable heartwarming atmosphere and a suspense that makes the reader feel so connected to the lives of those on the farm, not just Malgrath but those who were there and have become family and those who journeyed and found themselves at the farm the home they were looking for. 

That ending is so satisfying. Full of heart and hope. Looking forward to the future for everyone. 

This series could easily be read in one hour. But it’s so quietly written, it sneaks up on you. Do yourself a favor, savor it, stretch it out. And absolutely enjoy The Last Boss Farm. 

Author Beatrix Penrose has become an auto must have for me.

The vote passed. He wished it had been simpler.

The World System’s Policy Committee has ratified the KEEPER classification. Malgrath the Undying is, officially and permanently, the world’s first Keeper. 

There are eleven pages of conditions.

Most of them are reasonable. One requires him to name a registered property manager — someone the System can contact when he isn’t available. One allows other Legendary Villains to apply for the KEEPER designation, with his sponsorship.

He hadn’t anticipated sponsorship.

Then Thessaly the Unmoved arrives at the gate. Three hundred and twelve years as a Curse Weaver. Six active generational curses she has been trying to end for decades, with no System category that would let her stop. She walks through the gate without hesitating. The Strategist doesn’t move.

Vera returns to process the paperwork. Lorn takes six days to decide about Thessaly. Hobb builds a bench in the south field without telling anyone. The spring welfare reports come back full Thriving — every resident, first time in the database.

The Conditions is the third book in the Last Boss Farm series — a LitRPG cozy fantasy about what happens after you win the bureaucratic argument, a second Legendary Villain who just needed someone to put their name on a form, and a World System that is, slowly and against its better judgement, learning to say well done.

The KEEPER Network currently has one member. The System considers this a beginning, not a limitation.

Review: Last Boss Farm: The Stranger Problem 2 by Beatrix Penrose 

Rating: 4.5⭐️

  

“The World System has a Legendary Villain. The Legendary Villain has quit.”

Just a beautiful little story. Multiple important characters and storylines being woven together within a short time frame, each dealing with deep themes and emotional issues. 

All within 42 pages. 

Once again, the World System has sent out a visitor to the Farm. This time it’s Sera of Velmoor , a World Class Hero. Her mission is to evaluate the farm and check/perhaps bring back Edric, the first hero who came and stayed, refusing to leave. 

 But once Sera arrives, much like the others, things and plans change. 

There are some lovely surprises, exploration of the farm and the way the new creature, Lorn, is introduced, is also a metaphor for larger aspects of life around them. 

Even the smallest of details and developments are gems here, in the many languages that the guests speak and the hints to their personal journeys, the reader’s imagination remain intrigued.

A wonderful story and highly recommended.

The System sent a Hero to retrieve him. She stayed for a week. The Vael stayed permanently.

Malgrath the Undying is fifty-nine days from the World System’s Policy Committee vote on his KEEPER classification. The sanctuary is functioning. The slimes are contained. The Domestic Competency bar is at C+.

Then the System dispatches Sera of Velmoor — Sable-class Hero, level 41, and the one person most likely to actually bring Edric home.

She arrives thorough, efficient, and ready to file an accurate report. The problem is that accuracy, in this case, keeps pointing in an inconvenient direction. There are three creatures rated Thriving. The cave trolls built a drainage system she can’t fault. A retired Legendary Villain is leaving food at the tree line every morning for something large and injured that is watching from the forest.

The something large and injured is watching back.

The Stranger Problem is the second book in the Last Boss Farm series — a LitRPG cozy fantasy about a Vael who came down from the mountains in winter, a Hero who filed a very inconvenient witness statement, and a sanctuary that keeps accumulating residents nobody planned for.

The geese remain unkillable. The System has invented a rank called C++. Things are, on balance, fine.

Last Boss Farm

Review: Last Boss Farm (Last Boss Farm Book 1) by Beatrix Penrose

Rating: 4⭐️

Beatrix Penrose is a recent discovery for me and I have found I absolutely love her range of characters and fiction stories, from lyrical storytelling to the entertainment found here in her cozy LitRPG fantasy tale. 

Last Boss Farm is a terrific novella, a fantasy LitRPG that’s heavily based in the game trope if you’re not familiar with the LitRPG genre. So character are known by their stats, gameplay levels and rules. 

However, Penrose has her characters decline to play by the rules and set their own course, a decision that is entertaining and makes for an engaging experience.

While short, the characters are well designed and easy to connect with. And become extremely fond of. I want more of them and where this series is taking them and us. 

It’s fun, quick and well crafted. 

Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys this type of fiction.

 Book 1 of 3: Last Boss Farm 

Blurb 

He built three apocalypses. He can’t fix the slime pen.

Malgrath the Undying was the World System’s greatest villain. Legendary designation. Maxed stats. Nine lives of civilisational ruin. When he finally decided he’d had enough, he didn’t go out in a blaze of glory — he filed retirement paperwork, bought a derelict monster sanctuary, and went to feed an injured wyvern.

The System is not handling this well.

Every morning, a new villain quest appears in his notification queue. Every morning, he presses DECLINE and goes to deal with whatever the slimes have escaped into this time. 

But the System doesn’t accept “retired” as a status, and it has options: a confused Hero dispatched to defeat him, a Villain Reassignment Officer sent to reclaim him, and an escalating stack of administrative notices that are becoming increasingly passive-aggressive.

None of this is as difficult as figuring out why the rosemary keeps dying.

Last Boss Farm is a LitRPG cozy fantasy about a man with maxed Intimidation stats and a C+ in Domestic Competency, a wyvern who steals lunch, cave trolls who build surprisingly good retaining walls, and a World System bureaucracy that is deeply, personally offended by someone refusing their role.

Perfect for fans of cozy fantasy, progression fiction, and stories where the most dangerous character is the one who has simply decided to stop.

Review: Smite the Soil: A Retired Paladin’s Guide to Magical Agriculture (A Cozy LitRPG Adventure) (The Green Sanctuary Book 1) by Beatrix Penrose

Rating: 4.5⭐️

Smite the Soil, the first book in The Green Sanctuary fantasy series by Beatrix Penrose, is a heartwarming, well written novella. It’s a story that beautifully lays out the characters, unique universe and is a perfect introduction to any reader unfamiliar with LitRPG storytelling.

The tale of Sir Alaric Thorne, of the many celestial titles is wonderfully detailed and heartfelt. Al, as he decides to be known, doesn’t want to Ascend and become a minor deity after defeating all the quests. He’s tired. Wants to put down his sword. 

So he decides to find a different path. The Green Hearth. And starts a new journey. 

As a farmer and level 1 Celestial Husbandman. That comes with a rundown farm, land that doesn’t grow anything and a decidedly ornery goat named Goliath.

There’s also a community full of good people nearby that’s in dire straits. 

Step by step, Al and the village of Oakhaven come together as a community. It’s leveling up by means of heartfelt support and encouragement by goat, small children and a variety of other otherworldly friends. 

It is a quick read and sets the story for the next book and events to follow. 

A terrific read and recommendation!

Love the cover and wish I knew more about the artist.

He was the Shield of the Empire. Now, he’s just trying to grow a decent tomato.

Sir Alaric Thorne is tired. After twenty years of smiting demons and saving the world, his back hurts, his armor is heavy, and he’s forgotten the smell of fresh air that isn’t tainted by sulfur. So, when the System offers him a “Hidden Path” to retirement, he takes it.

He trades his Holy Avenger sword for a rusty hoe.

But Oakhaven Farm isn’t the paradise he imagined. The soil is cursed, the local village is starving, and his only companion is a Level 3 Chaos Goat named Goliath who has a taste for legal documents.

To save his new home, Alaric must level up his [Husbandman] class, navigate a “System” that rewards [Caprine Diplomacy] over [Combat Prowess], and protect a World-Tree sapling from an Empire that wants its taxes in blood.

In Oakhaven, the weeds are the real monsters, and the greatest quest of all is finding the perfect fertilizer.

What to expect:

  • No Harem/No Stress: A wholesome, “warm blanket” of a story.
  • Crunchy Stats: Watch the numbers go up in Soil Quality, Crop Resilience, and Animal Kinship.
  • Zero-to-Hero (Again): A powerful protagonist learning that growing a life is harder than taking one.
  • Stardew Valley Vibes: Farming, crafting, and building a community from the ground up.

The Green Sanctuary

Review: A Blacksmith’s Guide to Dragon-Rearing (Dragons of Safe Haven #2) by Julia Huni

Rating: 4⭐️

Not quite sure how you would categorize this, a cozy dragon fantasy? With a no spice romance aspect to it?

It has many interesting and well thought out elements to it, ones I really found intriguing but somehow got lost in the narrative here. 

The first book revealed the existence of this mysterious island where multiple species coexisted peacefully between warring magical countries, hidden by fae magic behind barriers none could penetrate unless they were fated to. Like a dying “retired” war witch from one country and an equally retired dragon rider soldier from the opposing side, whose life he feels is over, betrayed by his king. Both of whom find themselves on the island, and eventually become friends then wedded partners. From enemies to lovers.

It’s was a great tale that was made better by the discovery of sea dragons. 

Huni’s story contains a great deal of detailed backstory on the countries at war, war witches, dragon riders, the new king, the island’s political system, and the other beings who make up the community there . And the rules   I mean it’s a lot. Mostly in the first book.

But here it’s Nevan and Franisa Hearthwell’s story. Each one was a secondary character before, but they are, primarily due to Nevan becoming a dragon rider, into the forefront. It’s a romantic story but they don’t have much time for that to develop. It’s the community and friends who are telling each of them about how the other is feeling. Plus there’s an entire “fake engagement “ aspect to this story that launches their romance. 

It’s too much “as told to” to be believable. Where the first relationship between William and Cala was and is remains totally credible. They are so well established and intriguing people. 

The dragons element is reduced down to one important one and that’s Starlight. She’s developing into an amazing character. There appears to be a new element, the wounded fire dragon from William’s country and with one of his former unit squadron members. Unfortunately right now, that person is just a one dimensional character. Hopefully, he’ll grow some or this aspect of the series will end up very one note coded. 

I’m looking forward to seeing where this author goes next with all these characters and storylines. A definite recommendation.

Blurb 

Raising dragons is easier than raising a five-year-old. Probably.

Nevan never planned on becoming a dragon rider. He was perfectly content swinging a hammer in the forge—until an injured dragon rider retired to Safe Haven. Now paired with the runt of the clutch, Nevan is supposed to help train the island’s brand new sea dragon fire brigade. That means long days, soaked clothing, and a growing suspicion that dragons like to play matchmaker.

Franisa Hearthwell has enough on her plate. Widowed at an early age, she’s running the island bakery, raising two children, and fending off a meddlesome dwarven in-law who thinks her son belongs in the mine. When desperation strikes, she blurts out a solution that’s equal parts brilliant and ridiculous: she’s betrothed to Nevan.

But Nevan has adored Franisa since childhood. And fake betrothals have a way of attracting real feelings, curious neighbors, and dragons who seem very invested in romantic outcomes.

As fire threatens the village, an injured war dragon seeks refuge, and Safe Haven rallies around its own, Nevan and Franisa discover that bravery comes in many forms—and that family can be forged as surely as iron.

Dragons, fresh bread, found family, and a seaside village full of heart—welcome back to Safe Haven.

A cozy fantasy with a reverse-age-gap, fake engagement, friends-to-lovers romance that won’t steam your glasses. Perfect for fans of Legends & Lattes, A Fellowship of Bakers & Magic, and Jane Austen’s Dragons—a cozy fantasy that smells faintly of woodsmoke, sea spray, and warm cinnamon rolls.

Review:  Trades & Treaties: The Glyphwright Chronicles Book 3 by Jeremy Fabiano 

Rating: 4.75⭐️

What a fantastic piece of fantasy storytelling! This is one of my favorite series and Fabiano has become a autobuy based on the superiority of his work on this series.

It’s not often I find myself reading novels that I find just so satisfying on multiple levels that I can recommend to many ages of readers, but this author and series is one of them. 

I mean how often do you hear someone say that a writer has made math, precision, economics, and the basics of trade absolutely gripping and part of a fascinating magical system and storyline? Fabiano does this time and again here and throughout the series.  

He’s building systems and exploring new areas just like his characters, Marcus and Felix, have been building up in skills and abilities for their craft and innovation. 

And as with new areas, new challenges and opportunities for growth and innovation. 

Drama too. With Prince Adrian and his two bodyguards, a mysterious Kingdom and its ruler of a nearby country in need, and a political crisis that needs the help of our two Glyphwrights, this is a quietly mesmerizing tale.

I did think the ending resolution was either exactly right or too quick. I’m thinking about it still. 

I do love how each book ends with every one returning home, watching as their beloved small town comes into view, knowing that each one they love will be waiting for them. And a new future will emerge. 

It’s lovely and warmhearted. Exactly what we want for these characters we’ve come to care for. 

None of these stories are standalone books but build upon the one before. 

I highly recommend reading them all. Excellent work and fantastic storytelling. 

A highly recommended read. Just amazing work by the author.

Marcus thought infrastructure work was complicated. Then someone made it political.

The Northern Kingdoms ask for help with their failing ward networks. Prince Adrian volunteers Fairwind & Penwright for the job: redesign everything to work with local materials instead of expensive imports. Except the imports aren’t expensive by accident. Someone’s price-gouging essential supplies, and they don’t want competition.

Marcus’s merchant instincts see the pattern: economic sabotage wrapped in a supply chain monopoly. When Prince Adrian gets kidnapped, the technical work becomes the easy part.

One job. Two skill sets. And finally, a payout big enough to buy their own shop.

A cozy fantasy with LitRPG progression, economic intrigue, unexpected rescues, and the discovery that sometimes your merchant skills matter just as much as your magic.

Pour yourself something warm, settle into your favorite reading spot, and discover that sometimes fixing the magic is simpler than fixing the people.

The Glyphwright Chronicles

Review: A Fellowship of Bakers & Magic (Adenashire, #1) by J. Penner 

Rating: 4⭐️

“A human, a dwarf and an elf walk into a bake-off…”

It had me at the tag line. 

A sweet, no spice fated soulmate fantasy romance, A Fellowship of Bakers & Magic 

follows the journey of orphaned human baker, Arleta Starstone who lives in a small village called Adenashire next door to the two orcs who raised her after her parents died. Her passion is baking, it’s how she supports herself and she’s fantastic at it. But she’s insecure because she’s human and without magic.

The Langheim Baking Battle, a famous baking contest, is the path that sees Arleta on her way to becoming a person of confidence in her abilities as a baker and as a strong kind woman. One able to make friends, achieve her goals and accept a HEA. 

Penner’s storyline brings in several characters that turn into important figures in Arleta’s life and the series. They’re characters who have strong back histories relayed here and future books in the series. I look forward to each one.

I found A Fellowship of Bakers & Magic (Adenashire, #1) by J. Penner very entertaining, the characters are engaging and fun.  

There’s issues with this that stick out. One is an element that bugs me whenever I see it. That of the “disappearing animal character “, the one character where the author has made a point about in the narrative, pages and descriptions. And it’s importance to one of the main characters. Then it vanishes from the story. Gone. 

As it does here. 

What happened to Theo’s magical Forest  Lynx cat with horns , one he rescued btw and needs to be fed? Did it go with Theo? What happened to it? No mention about it. Authors need to include the necessary details to wrap it up into the finished piece. 

And what about the difference in lifespan? That’s never addressed either.  

Those are major holes in the story.

But I will end up with huge positives. All the recipes at the end.  Some of the contest recipes are included there.  Be prepared to drool and bake, of course.

A human, a dwarf and an elf walk into a bake-off…

In the heart of Adenashire, where elvish enchantments and dwarven delights rule, human baker Arleta Starstone works twice as hard at perfecting her unique blend of baking with apothecary herbs. So, when her orc neighbor (and biggest fan) secretly enters her creations into the prestigious Langheim Baking Battle, Arleta faces a dilemma. Being magicless, her participation in the competition could draw more scowls than smiles. And if Arleta wants to prove her talent and establish her culinary reputation, she’ll need more than just her pastry craft to sweeten the odds.

Though Arleta may not yet believe in herself, she makes her way to Langheim―with the help of a very attractive woodland elf―and competes. While on a journey of mouthwatering pastries, self-discovery, heartwarming friendships, and potential romance, Arleta will have to decide whether winning the Baking Battle is the true prize after all. But win or lose, her adventure is only beginning…

Although this book is part of a series it can only be read as a standalone. Escape to Adenashire for a delightful cozy fantasy where every twist is a treat and every turn a step closer to home.

Review: A Coup Of Tea (Tea Princess Chronicles: Book 1 ) by Casey Blair

Rating: 4⭐️

I will admit that I’ve struggled with this book and rating because I’ve enjoyed so much of this story and characters. It’s got really interesting elements and the makings of a terrific fantasy tale of a young woman who is trying to find her way of service in a tumultuous magical world. 

And in many cases it does work.  The writing is descriptively detailed, rich in elements and emotional imagery. It’s magical in many respects. 

Author Blair sets out a terrific foundation of a kingdom of rulers that’s based around service, an intriguing idea. And it opens up as the fourth daughter of the ruling family is about to enter the ceremony to determine the course of her career and life’s path of service to her family and people of Istalam. 

Let’s just say the ceremony doesn’t go as planned. And Princess Miyara finds herself with another life journey in store for her. 

One that ends in a small tea shop in the city of Sayorsen which sits on the edge of a cataclysmic event that separates an entire realm of unstable magic. Here Miyara finds her way to her true self, and it’s a beautiful thoughtful and deeply caring journey. 

Miyara’s new life involves her working with people of various backgrounds, cultures and traditions, all new to someone of her previous status. As she grows stronger and adapts to her new life, finding new friends of all kinds, witches included, political and social changes start to happen.

Casey Blair’s story incorporates important such elements such as the need for societal change, highlighting the impact of racism, exploitation, environmental degradation, and the importance of service.  All that through Miyara, her development, her role in the community and with the family. And her dedication to becoming a Tea Master with the beautiful magical tea ceremony, dragons , and more. 

Is it perfect? No there a few odd phrases that don’t make sense here, especially when spoken by a Princess who for most of the story has trouble remembering that “court language “ isn’t common for the type of person she’s trying to portray now.  

Here’s a quick example. 

“I laugh, a little hysterically. “Thank you for not telling me I’m batty.”

In a strange mystical magical kingdom that sentence and use of batty, especially from a palace princess, feels so much very out of place. 

Strange bits of narrative weirdness that jar the reader out of the story. 

However, the whole plot and character is marvelous. And as someone who has read ahead, I can say that book 2 is even better. 

A definite winner. And another recommendation! A cozy fantasy adventure with a complete set!

Love these covers.

But there’s more brewing under the surface of this city—hidden magic, and hidden machinations—that threaten all the people who’ve helped her make her own way.
