Great for fans of Laudna who want to learn more about her backstory! Also, one of the few books I've read in recent years that required me to check a dictionary.

The beginning is DARK but what you expect for a girl who is brutally murdered and then comes back to life with her murderer stuck in her head? . I don't really think that is a spoiler but just in case. This is almost like a character study since the majority of the book, she is alone, but that never feels flat or boring. It is a beautiful and sad story that really shows the very human determination to carry on.

Laudna is my favorite member of Bell’s Hells so of course I preordered this as soon as it was available! This doesn’t really have a plot, it’s very slice-of-life living alongside Laudna before and (mostly) after her horrific murder. Obviously this book contains spoilers for the character in the Critical Role campaign!
The writing in this is very beautiful and paired with this tragic character it was an often haunting story with these moments of tenderness and finding joy in the little and often-discarded things. There are many emotional ups and downs in the journey. I was so taken with the character Bella and was nearly stirred to tears at what happened with her part of the story. I would love for Laudna to have the chance to see her in the campaign! There are lots of very charming and entertaining side characters.
I just had to listen to the audiobook and Robbie Daymond was fantastic, as usual! And it was great hearing Marisha embody Laudna as well. It’s hard for me to tell if this would be as touching and fulfilling a read for someone who hasn’t watched the Bell’s Hell’s campaign though! But I enjoyed getting the backstory and lore for my favorite fun-scary warlock.
