I liked the art here more than volume 1, but the story felt just a tad more disjointed in this one. Still an enjoyable read. I just found myself wandering off in a couple lulls.

Always love VM, but at points, I felt like I was skipping pages...

Wow, I absolutely loved and devoured this one. This was such a good and enthralling story, with more character introductions along the way. Such a win.

PERCY AND PIKE! PERCY AND PIKE!
Ahem. So Percy and Pike join the party in this volume, and it’s fabulous. If you’re a follower of CritRole, it’s effortless to hear the dialogue in the voices of these beloved characters. If you’re a newcomer, this volume has enough pacing, adventure, and humor to keep you engaged in the story whether or not you have years of critter-hood behind you. I also thought that having Tiberius duck out early was a gentle and professional way to handle the character, considering. This volume also introduces Eskil, who is referenced often enough in the show that I knew who he was when he was introduced, and Nahla, the nymph that doesn’t kiss and tell. This volume was a great follow-up to the first volume, and for me personally, a much more enjoyable read. I know I’ll be looking forward to more, as well as any stories from the Mighty Nein campaign that might be forthcoming!
