Critical Role: The Mighty Nein — The Nine Eyes of Lucien by Madeleine Roux

2.0

this took me forever to get into reading it as an ebook at first, but once i switched to the audiobook it was a lot better.

i really strongly disliked lucien lol so this wasn't the best fit for me. i also struggled with all the tomb takers characters, just because there were so many and none of them, including cree, felt fleshed out at all.

i understand that this is a tough story to tell, but nothing about lucien stood out to me in particular, except for that he was annoying me the entire time with his whining about grandure and whatever the "glint" was about. someone (idr who, might've been molly) at some point calls him the chosen one, and he behaved like one the whole entire time despite only becoming somewhat special once he becomes the nonagon.

i've heard a lot of praise for this book and i'm glad people are enjoying it, but i can't relate. good for them, though, and good for me that the other cast members read their lines. robbie did a really good job with this, too
