A review by ksophialydia
The Chronicles of Exandria: The Legend of Vox Machina Volume 2 by Matthew Mercer

4.0

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.
