The Wandering Inn
by Pirateaba
I have never read an RPG-based series before, but it was included with my Audiable subscription and it seemed like an entertaining premise.
+ lots of Stuff going on. Action, exploration, discovery, learning, and of course Leveling Up
+ fun characters
- sometimes the plot gets a bit lost in the Stuff going on, as do the Characters when dealing with and explaining the aformentioned Stuff
- for all the Stuff going on, the forward progress is extremely slow. Human #1, the main character, really needs to learn how to ask for help and not just studder or try to fill every silence with awkward aimless chatter.
- it gets excessivly wordy and repeatative sometimes. I suspect the series? could easily cut out 50k (or more) worth of words, repeat phrases, and rehashed scenes without losing any of the storyline.
+ the emotional bits pack a hell of a punch. I got sniffley more than once
+ it takes 25 freaking hours (i listened to the Audiable version and +++ for the Narrator!), but it gets extra interesting when Human #2 starts to share the narrative. An antisocial cynic after my own heart
