5 stars
A heartfelt story that is surprisingly cozy. I absolutely love the blending of fantasy and reality as we follow the characters in their D&D campaign and their personal lives in the real world.
Wonderfully written. I loved the characters.
This is some of the characters’ first time playing D&D so there is a nice amount of explanation (without info dumping for those already familiar) for those who don’t know much about D&D. Loved all the nerdy references throughout. The whole book was written in such an accessible way.
At the end is some information on the game session and the world Hamish created (I would totally read his book) as well as the players’ character sheets, which were fun to look at.
A really sweet read with an immersive world and great character dynamics. Looking forward to reading more from Mielke.
