Ratings25
Average rating3.9
The first official novel based on characters from the hit streaming show Critical Role. Written by #1 New York Times bestselling author Marieke Nijkamp, Critical Role- Vox Machina - Kith & Kin will follow a brand-new story, featuring the cunning ranger Vex'ahlia and the conning rogue Vax'ildan (and, of course, Trinket) years before they meet Vox Machina. After leaving the unwelcoming refuge of Syngorn, the twins become entangled in a web spun by the Clasp, and for the first time Vex and Vax find themselves on opposite sides of a conflict that threatens the home they have carried with each other for years.

Just not feeling it. The book is trying to be an adult fantasy novel, but it reads like a YA book for middle schoolers. The expletives throughout what I read were forced and clearly just there to be there. And the story was dragging on. May come back to it eventually, but for now, I'm out.
I really liked this quite a bit. Of course, I have watched enough Critical Role to have an attachment to Vex and Vax. They are great characters, but not quite my favourites.
I found myself more interested in the flashbacks to Byroden and Syngorn for the most part, but the Joran storyline is good to.
I'm not sure that I would have given this book a chance if I weren't a critter but as a lover of the twins I found it to be a fun and enjoyable read (surprised at how much I enjoyed the author's interpretation of Vax and Vex). Pleasantly surprising and yes I am giving it a shameless 5 stars because Critical Role deserves all the love and they gave us a backstory for Simon so I'm happy. ALSO TRINKET!!!
