I started this book shortly after finishing the first one. It’s a decent read, especially if you enjoy the Dungeons & Dragons universe, and it’s nice to see Viv return as the main character. However, if you're hoping for the same cosy, feel-good vibes as the first book, you might be disappointed.

While it's clear that Travis Baldree put a lot of love into this story, it didn’t resonate with me in the same way. I found myself more passively following along than being truly engaged. Perhaps a new main character might have brought a fresh spark.

I'm glad I read it, but it's not one I see myself returning to.
