What if sharing a cookie with your enemy made your dreams come true?

Verdreth and Ervash, both orcs, are about to embark on the most “terrifying” adventure in their lives together… becoming grandpas.

Their adopted human daughter, Arleta, is ready to give birth in mere hours. Of course Verdreth is thrilled to take on this new role with his long-time partner since he never imagined they’d experience such an honor… particularly with the rocky start to their relationship.

To pass the time, one of their friends asks Verdreth to tell the tale of how he and Ervash met. He’s reluctant, since they were very different orcs when they met over thirty years prior. But with Ervash’s permission, (and to help him calm his nerves) he starts at the beginning…

Since, in fact, it’s always a good place to start.

Escape to Adenashire’s past for a touching cozy fantasy story about family beginnings, new experiences and finding the people who bring out the best in you.

J. Penner is uncannily talented at weaving a compelling story from really whiny and unlikeable folks. Verdreth is disagreeable, only thinking of his own reactions to literally everything, and overthinks every social interaction to an extraordinary degree. Despite not liking him in the least, I was drawn in and kept in the story, so four stars it is. The background event interested me, of course. This world is a good one to immerse oneself in, but I was abruptly pulled out of it (in all five volumes) when the author used the anachronistic (here I mean the wrong time period and place) "sh*t" as an expletive. It felt like we were yanked into modern day "real" world. Overall, the series was a pleasure to read. The author is a strong storyteller.

Talented story teller, engaging world
