I wish I could have Robbie Daymond read me all of my books… I haven’t read any of the author’s other books but I didn’t overly vibe with the style of writing here. I’m not exactly sure what it was about it as I’d usually love anything Critical Role. Bits were really good – the beginning and the epilogue, for sure – but I didn’t love this as much as I thought I would. Some chapters were a bit boring. Which feels wrong to say, as Launda’s definitely been through a lot – it’s not her fault she spent a lot of time alone. I read another review that mentioned this could have been a tighter novella and I’d have to agree. Either that, or cut some of the middle of this book and include more with Imogen at the end!
