Critical Role: Vox Machina — Kith & Kin by Marieke Nijkamp
4.0
I just realized I never got around to writing a review for this the first time I read it. We're a year and some change later, and I've just finished my reread (which I sorely needed after finishing season two of The Legend of Vox Machina).
This isn't the best fantasy book out there, and I'd be hard-pressed to believe this offers anything for those who aren't already fans of Critical Role/Vox Machina/the Vessar twins coming into this. But it offers so much for those people who are fans - a chance to experience a part of Vex and Vax's past, a more slow meandering through Exandria than the D&D sessions or the animated show, a feeling of closeness.
Vex is my favorite character from campaign one, and I'd spend millions of words with her if I could.
Nijkamp knows the characters and the setting extremely well. It's the most important aspect of the story to me, because as said previously, the rest leaves a little to be desired - which is why it's not a five star read for me.
