Perhaps it was Andrea Parsneau's performance from the audio version that really sold me on the story. I was surprised by the Wandering Inn, had no idea what to expect when I first started. What I was greated with was a slice of life novel as a young woman attempts to coop and adjust to life in a new world. She deals with being the only human in the area she finds herself and ultimately having to kill in self defense. The characters all grow over time and each one stands out on their own. This book had me laughing and happy at parts, and crying and sad at others. If I didn't have a family or children I doubt I would have put the book down at all.

Andrea's narration however, is really what pulled me in. Her range of voices is crazy and each character had their own, even down to the different Gnolls, Drakes and other races Erin encounters in her new life.… (mehr)

First the negative, which was postly at the beginning. Much like in book 2 were the book started off on talking about the 2016 American election, book 5 touches poorly on soical issues that probably shouldn't have been brought up. King Flos wishes to learn more about Earth. Hilter is brought up, and the twins are unable to explain why Hitler was truely an evil man and not one to be admired. Similarly a few chatpers later slavery is brought up, and the brother is unable to explain why its evil and how its different than prisons on Earth. These two subjects within the books were poorly represted and to be honest I almost dropped the book as a result. I feel with topics such as these need to be handled with much more care and respect or simply leave the debates out.

I stuck with the book, and it was worth the slog at the beginning. Laken and the town of Riverfarm has grown on me quite a bit. Reading Geneva's chapters was worth the book all on its own. A few events are moving together areiynd Liscor for Erin and Co and I cannot wait for book 6.… (mehr)
