Description

Edwin Salamand has lived on a farm his whole life. The problem? He's not very good at farming, or anything involving the outdoors, for that matter. When his salamander farm goes belly up, he decides to move to a nearby city. A deal too good to be true goes awry, and he ends up with a dusty old bookshop filled to the brim with unassuming level one skill tomes. Pamphlets, really. It's not the most exciting windfall, but it's a path to an honest life, one that Edwin is confident he can handle. Because running a bookshop for beginners has got to be safe and simple, right? It turns out Edwin's little shop is sitting smack dab in the center of not three, but four magical schools for people that actually enjoy getting soil underneath their fingernails. Also known as, adventurers. As eager warriors-in-training, alongside the occasional rowdy orc, descend upon Edwin's humble little shop, he's going to find himself unexpectedly teaching lessons big and small. Maybe learning them, too, because sometimes it's not the size of the book that matters, but how hard you throw it... The Level One Bookshop is a cozy LitRPG-lite story that blends slice-of- life episodes and the occasional bookworm-worthy adventure. Read more

  • A well done, if a bit formulaic, cozy fantasy.
Format: Kindle
This was a nice reworking of a standard theme. Edwin is working on a second chance. He has bought a rundown bookstore and needs to make it a success. Almost immediately he meets two helpful people and an antagonistic competitor. The story is a series of increasingly serious difficulties and small successes. His earnest character is what carries him through. The writing, while not inspired, is workmanlike and easily carries the reader through the story. The proofreading is above par for KU books as is the interior consistency. I do disagree with the author’s choice of boiling tea instead of steeping it, but tastes vary. The surprise revelation during Edwin’s hearing felt a bit contrived, but the actual ending satisfactory, even if its foreshadowing was a bit obvious. This is a true cozy; gaining friends, overcoming obstacles, learning and growing without any nail biting confrontations or battles. I’d read this again if I wanted a quiet read on a rainy day. ... show more

  • Fun read, needs some help to be really good
Format: Kindle
This is a great story premise. It is very cozy and easy to read. The characters are very surface level, to the point that it is difficult to tell the characters apart if you are not paying close attention. Parts of the story change to fit what is happening. Like how the rival elite book store suddenly moved to be within eye site of main characters. How the shops apprentice sometimes seems to live up stairs and sometimes at the school. How the next door vendor doesn't sell anything and just helps manage the bookstore. It is still a good story, but I wish it was flushed out a bit more. ... show more

  • perfectly cozy read
Format: Kindle
I like the characters & the magic. Books & teas & not overly complicated but still engaging & endearing. I honestly am mildly cranky there isn't a second book yet. Will purchase book 2 as soon as I see it. Read on KU, plan to go ahead & buy it as soon as I finish my review--especially because I haven't been finishing all of my KU books this week. Some were absolute swill. This was one of the better KU books I read this week--& I read a lot. Don't just read on KU & actually buy it so maybe the author will hurry up & do a book 2 faster. ... show more

  • The villain made no sense to me.
Format: Kindle
The main character is a bit of a cypher, and lacks some of the depth I'd like. We never get to see enough of his past to understand how and why he makes the decisions at the start of the book. Worse, all of his supporting characters are even less developed. They do have full names and participate fully in the plot, but somehow I never felt that the author really knew the characters he was writing about. He left out so much depth of character that I like to see. But all of that would have left this a 4 star book if it wasn't for one major problem. I absolutely could not accept the villain. I believe I have a level of understanding as to why the villain was written the way he was, but whenever I run into a villain that acts like this one I find that I ask, "Why is the villain this obsessed?" too often. There was a level of obsession in the villain that never made sense to me. I couldn't understand why he'd get so concerned about a bookshop that was not a direct competitor to him. In fact, the shop here would have benefitted him immensely if he'd left it alone as it dragged the lower paying and less influential browsers from his shop and allowed him to concentrate on the rich and powerful he wanted to serve. But its not my story and while I can't give it a 4 star score because the problems with the villain loomed huge in my eyes, its not terrible. Its just one that played to things I don't like. ... show more

  • wonderful character / merchant based LitRPG
Format: Kindle
It was a fun and interesting read following the MC throughout the challenges and intrigue of establishing a new shop and carving out a niche for himself. It was a fun progression and the shop is an inviting place I’d love to visit. If you’re looking for a character driven story in system centered on growth give this one a try, you won’t be disappointed. ... show more

  • good clean read
Format: Kindle
Like title says, good clean read without violence language or adult content. I got a little annoyed how Edwin provided SOo much information to his antagonist every time he leveled an accusation against him, Still didn’t make sense that he kept coming after the little guy that sold into a different market segment than him…. Anyway good quick clean read overall ... show more
