The Wandering Inn: Book 5

This was the first one I had a hard time getting through parts. It's tough adding entirely new groups of characters, but I still enjoyed it.

First the negative, which was mostly 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 around Liscor for Erin and Co and I cannot wait for book 6.
