Critical Role: Vox Machina — Kith & Kin by Marieke Nijkamp
0.75
one might think that just because i'm a critrole fan that i'd be more lenient in rating this novel. my biases were cancelled out though because if i were to put the twins in a CR PC tier list, they would be in tier D or C at most.
so, already they were not my favourite characters to be reading about. add to that the prose style that is average at best and at the very least i found it not compelling to read. the author is prone to over-explaining sentiments that can easily be figured out, so long as the reader is paying some attention.
and like. okay. it was pretty brazen to use only quotations from the novel on the back cover, but the quotation used ("and whatever happens, we'll always be together, right?" / "always. and no matter what happens.") has nothing going for it--and even crosses the territory of incomprehensible. but that might have been a book design issue.
