Celebrate a decade of Critical Role with this anthology featuring the perspectives of ten characters who fought alongside—and against—Vox Machina, with a foreword by cast member Liam O’Brien.

In these ten stories, see the legendary adventuring party anew through the eyes of some of the most memorable characters whose lives were touched by Vox Machina.

Within:

• Shaun Gilmore reflects on the life he has chosen, as told by Aabria Iyengar.

• Raishan, racked by a pestilent curse, plots to release the Cinder King from his fiery prison, as told by Rory Power.

• Trinket the Wonder Bear accompanies the next generation of Vox Machina on their first adventure, as told by Sarah Glenn Marsh.

• Plus seven more hilarious, heartbreaking, and heroic tales featuring Kaylie, Doty, Kevdak, and more!

The adventure began in 2015 with a group of friends sitting down in front of a camera to roll some dice, bring their characters to life, and tell a story that would become immortalized in their livestream tabletop roleplaying game: Critical Role. What started as a humble home game eventually grew into a worldwide phenomenon that has touched countless people with its poignant, larger-than-life storytelling—and in that same vein, this collection celebrates the characters whose lives were touched by Vox Machina but whose stories are yet to be told.

Each story felt unique and entertaining while showcasing a wide variety of characters and evoking several different emotions

Love!

This books was so much fun and even better is an audiobook, with the whole Critical Role cast narrating.

An amazing look at Exandria

I found the book quite entertaining, which was a bit of a problem since I like listening to my audiobooks before bed, and instead of making me sleepy, these stories made me stay up. There’s a great variety of tones and characters, and some of the stories are incredibly moving. The performances are great, something I expected from the incredible cast and they did deliver as usual. Perhaps the only flaw is that this is obviously a books for the fans, either you are one or you will get lost, but if you aren’t one, take this as the sign to become one, I don’t think you’ll regret it.
