4.5⭐️ - A swashbuckling fantasy romp in Exandria, filled with familiar locations, a subtle D&D flair, and plenty of tusk love!
When Guinevere is set upon by mercenaries seeking to take the last treasures of her family, she thinks all is lost until a strapping half-orc fighter enters the fray on her behalf. With half the forrest aflame, the pair enter an uneasy travelling agreement, at a time when there is a distinct lack of beds available!
It was a lot of fun seeing what was just a recurring gag in Critical Role: Campaign Two turned into a legitimate story. Part of me almost expected it to be a farce, so I was thrilled to discover that this is a genuinely exciting and moving romantasy, with good character development and exploration of locations in the world of the campaign.
There's not much actual magic thrown around, with the combat staying mostly in the physical, but perhaps that makes a lot of sense given it's a book that's meant to exist in the D&D setting - after all, fantasy books within our world don't usually play by the same physical rules of ours, hehe.
