Beautiful compilation of fanarts related to the end of the story of Vox Machina. The drawings for that last chapter were particularly moving.

The artwork is beautiful and the printing and layout of the images is well done. Along with the text, however, much of it is out of order to the way the story unfolded in the show as well as how it is listed in the table of contents and with the inserted text (or copy). It did sort of pull me out of the art book’s narrative flow, so more attention to the over-all layout would have been good. There are also several typos and incorrect word choices found within the text. There are some details written about that I hadn’t been aware of, but whether they were exclusive to the boom or collected from outside of the stream itself I don’t know. They were nice to learn, though.

On a personal note, I do feel like this collection was lacking in artwork of Vex’ahlia in comparison to all the images of Keyleth and Pike. Not having access to the first art book, I can’t say if this was a choice to make both volumes balanced, but it left me a little frown-y.

As a whole, however, this is a lovely book.

This is an artbook and I put it on a stand on my table. I decided to have every page on display for at least a day. It took me almost a year to go through the whole book and I loved it sooo much!! It took me longer than expected because there were too many pages I wanted to have on display longer than a day :D

This book has been art in my house for over a year and I cannot explain how much I love this book.

It's the most expensive book I own and it's worth every penny!!

Got this as a Yuletide gift from my brilliant sister, and I love it to bits! Of course, this book likely only strikes a cord within you if you've followed exploits of Vox Machina from the web series Critical Role.

If you like D&D and improve theater, go watch that. If, however, you are a fellow fan aka critter, I highly recommend buying this! I even got a little teary-eyed by the end of it. It is beautiful and a great read/look for fans.
