The Wandering Inn: Volume 1

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.

Not for everyone, including me... I think. This series is intimidating to read but overall I had a relaxing and fun time reading various chapters in this volume. There is a variety of knowledge on other continents, kings and rulers, history, and culture that will pique your interest in reading the next volumes. Might try the audiobook format and see if it's worth continuing.
