The story was such a low point of fantasy storytelling for me that I felt compelled to finish the book out of spite so that I could write a review of its entirety. The streaming show, the campaign settings, the comics, and everything we've seen thus far for the upcoming show have been fantastic work that this novel profoundly falls short of. That fact is especially disappointing because it is a known fact that Critical Role can produce much better work, and has been consistently up to this point. When I started reading this book I knew I was probably heading into 'YA'' territory and expected that level of pigeonholed quality and complexity, but once I got into it I realized that young adults deserve much better fantasy. Written by #1 New York Times bestselling author Marieke Nijkamp, Critical Role- Vox Machina-Kith & Kin follows a brand-new adventure that delves into the twin's unexplored history, and returns to some of the iconic moments that forged Vox Machina's most unbreakable bond. As the situation grows more complicated than they ever could have imagined, 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. Trapped by a hasty deal, Vex and Vax (along with Vex's faithful bear companion, Trinket) set out into the wilds to fulfill their debt to the infamous crime syndicate. Now, unknown perils await them in the bustling city of Westruun, where the twins become entangled in a web spun by the thieves' guild known to many as the Clasp. But with the help of Vex's quick wit and Vax's quicker dagger, they've always kept ahead of trouble. The twins have traveled far and experienced great hardship. Now, freed from the expectations of their exacting father and the scornful eyes of Syngorn's elves, the cunning hunter and the conning thief have made their own way in the world of Exandria. A harsh childhood in the elite elven city of Syngorn quickly taught them not to rely on others.
