The Wandering Inn: Volume 7 by Pirateaba
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

While I may not be reading this like a traditional web serial, I totally get it. I feel like I'm binging a 600 episode show, complete with a vast cast of great, interesting characters in a fantasy world. The balance between comfort-food, humor, progression, humanizing the big bads, and epic freaking battles is putting this right at the top of my lists for great stories.

Here's the thing: what it lacks in being special in writing craft, it more than makes up in being accessible and truly vast, interesting. I like just about EVERY single character, even the ones I'm supposed to hate. They all have their rough spots, but damn, I'm simply having a great time.

If I were to be honest, I'd give this a 3.5 for writing, a 4 for ideas, and a 5 for pure enjoyment. Obviously, I'm weighting my review on enjoyment. I'm just excited, heart-warmed, and amused all the time.

To my synesthesia, this book is like a gigantic cupcake with red frosting and tons of really delightful sprinkles. It's special, too, because I never get full and it doesn't put on weight.

I do feel sorry for my bookshelf, though. These books are HUGE honkers. :)



Personal note:
If anyone reading my reviews might be interested in reading my own SF, I'm going to be open to DM requests. I think it's about time I get some eyes on them.
