Thank you Netgalley for the ARC! I had just finished Bookshops and Bonedust so I was itching to get my hands on it!
First and foremost, I want to give Travis Baldree a huge shout out for creating a side character in each book that I absolutely adore. I find myself looking forward to any scene with them throughout the book, first with Thimble in L&L, then Satchel in B&B, and now Zil. I'd read a whole series about each of them.
I was excited to see the plot reversed from an adventuring character learning to settle down to a settled character learning to adventure. Fern is such a fun shift from Viv and her midlife crisis was very relatable. Her navigating through her own wants and needs was compelling to follow.
As with all of his other works, Brigands and Breadknives supplies you with a new cast of characters, each with such distinguishable characteristics and voices (both literally and metaphorically). I enjoyed watching Fern as she went on this unplanned adventure with Astrix and Zil.
There was a point about 75% of the way through where it almost cozied a little too close to the sun and I kind of forgot what the plot was working towards but it pulled me back in pretty quickly.
Overall, such an entertaining book to listen to!
