Am I a little bias because I love Vax’ildan with all my heart? Yeah. Do I see where a lot of other reviews are coming from? Also yeah.
I enjoyed this book. It was a bit of a slow start (outside of the first of many of the twin’s childhood flashback, which were a lore highlight of the story). But I always falter a bit when it comes to high fantasy, it’s just not really my jam. But despite that, I really did have quite a bit of fun with this novel.
However, I am aware that the reason why I could get through some of this book’s problems (which I will admit were present) was that I am a huge fan of Campaign 1 of Critical Role. As I mentioned, I adore Vax.
While I had a good time reading this book, liked it’s characters, and enjoyed the story. I think it might lose some of its charm outside of the world of a Critical Role/Vox Machina fan. For fans of CR1: particularly Vex, Vax, and everyone’s favourite bear this book is likely to be a win in the sense that it is a fun little jaunt through the twin’s adventures pre-campaign. But it might not be as enjoyable by those who aren’t fans of the show.

great book if you want to know more about vex and vax from critical role
definitely better if you know critical role from the stream or tv show first tho, wouldn’t recommend trying to get into critical role by starting with this book
