Critical Role

This book was... fine? I came away feeling underwhelmed but not as though I had wasted my time. But as many other reviewers have said, I don't know if I'd have finished this if I hadn't already seen C1 and loved the characters.

It was really a mixed bag. I like stories that delve into the grey areas between right and wrong, but this wasn't a particularly notable example of that. The characterization of the twins was spot-on, but a lot of the other characters felt flat. The writing was unclear, especially during action scenes, and the threats (Syngorn, the Clasp, the ash walkers, etc.) all felt toothless. But I appreciated the queer and disability representation.
