Synopsis

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 its pages:
• 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.

Goodreads review by Jacob on April 21, 2025

The writing in this anthology is consistently good enough that the ultimate flaw of the collection is only ever at the periphery. It's a flaw that many of Critical Role's books share: There's very little point to this collection, other being a milestone for 10 years of Critical Role. If you've seen t......more
