4/5
As a long time fan of Critical Role, when this went on sale I snapped it up. Finally got around to listening to it and really enjoyed hearing about my favourite sneaky twins. The book follows Vax and Vex in their earlier years, switching between their childhoods and an entanglement involving the Clasp, a rural town, a mining community and a horde of ashen undead.
- Being familiar with the protagonists and the world already, I sank easily into the story and enjoyed the references to the campaign. However, I'm not sure if someone unfamiliar with the context would find that as simple to do.
- I really enjoyed the story of the feud between a rural town and a mining community and loved the ashen undead creatures (as a DM, I need to find a stat block for these). I do wish more time had been spent on the creatures and the lore behind them.
- The characters outside of Vex and Vax were... alright. Honestly, I don't think any particularly stood out to me though they were well enough in the context of the plot.
A fantastic book for Critters but if you're not already invested in the fandom it may be a little less enjoyable.
