As someone who has never watched critical role I was slightly skeptical about reading this yet was a fan of Guanzons other books so figured I would give it a try.
I think Guanzon elevated the grumpy x sunshine trope for me. I find that the grumpy characters often get on my nerves and their grumpiness often is unwarranted and makes them unlikable. In this book Oskar is grumpy yet he is not grumpy with or at Guinevere for the situation at hand. His grumpiness is more compassionate and is aimed at the people who have let down Guinevere. I also liked that Oskar never let Guinevere get away with apologizing for things outside of her control.
I really enjoyed the characters trek on the road yet once they got closer to the destination I lost interest and found myself rushing to finish it. I felt like the ending was a lot quicker pace than the earlier parts of the book making it feel disjointed. I feel like Guinevere “mastering” her powers at the end happened to quickly. I also wish we got a cameo of the goblin family they met on the road at the end and a got an epilogue of Oskar and Guinevere making it to his mothers homeland.
