As a huge Critical Role fan that has only casually enjoyed Campaign 1, I really enjoyed this look into the Twin's backstory. Going into this I knew to not expect a ton of magic as Vex and Vax aren't magic users at this age, so this really wasn't something that was missing for me. The only thing I wanted more of was the flashbacks to their years in Syngorn as this was where they had so much of their character development that shaped their Campaign 1 characters.

For the full experience, I highly recommend the audiobook (I mean it obviously has to be good considering Liam and Laura both voice their characters) as Robbie gives a phenomenal performance as the narrator.
