Thank you to NetGalley and Random House for an eARC in exchange for an honest review
When I tell you this was my number 1 anticipated book for this year so it was so exciting to receive an advance edition (which I promptly inhaled in the following two days). I think this month alone I've listened to more than 3000 minutes of Critical Role, and I'm a big Hurricane Wars fan (pls Thea Guanzon go on tour with this book so I can get a copy of this signed to go with my Hurricane Wars copy I beg).
My general take-away from this book was if you're a big Critical Role fan then there are a whole load of little name drops and I loved that the landscape all felt familiar. The fight scenes also felt D&D styled, although no dice rolling or stats involved. Guanzon being a DM herself has a thorough understanding of the turn taking, story-telling rhythms that make the game (and the book!) so much fun.
And for those who have no idea who Critical Role are, or what D&D is, I think this book still succeeds in being a light-hearted romantasy that wraps the reader up in fighting mercenaries and falling in love with your accidental bodyguard. Super fun characters, absolutely recommend!
