8 posts | 5 read | 1 to read
Explore the past of Critical Roles daring half-elf twins, Vexahlia and Vaxildan, in this original prequel novel to their adventures with Vox Machina. Vex and Vax have always been outsiders. A harsh childhood in the elite elven city of Syngorn quickly taught them not to rely on others. Now, freed from the expectations of their exacting father and the scornful eyes of Syngorns elves, the cunning hunter and the conning thief have made their own way in the world of Exandria. The twins have traveled far and experienced great hardship. But with the help of Vex's quick wit and Vax's quicker dagger, they've always kept ahead of trouble. 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. 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. 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. Written by #1 New York Times bestselling author Marieke Nijkamp, Critical Role: Vox MachinaKith & 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.

Well this is a bummer. I should have expected it to be what it is- the kind of fantasy I don‘t like. Which is to say, it‘s a minor string of a story crammed full of battle after battle.

Knowing it‘s based on Vox Machina and critical roll, which is a podcast of years-long Dungeons and Dragons campaigns, I guess I should have known it would be like that. After all that‘s mostly what DND is.

I need more character development and plot, ah well.

Y‘all! This book was so good! I love the twins so much! And this more than did them justice. It‘s also just an overall fantastic fantasy novel about secrets and family and the lengths you‘ll go to for someone you love.
For those who haven‘t watched critical role or don‘t know what that is the book is still completely accessible to you, despite the Easter eggs and head nods for those who have watched the stream to point at excitedly.

Love the show on prime and found this. It delves into the back story of Vex‘ahlia and Vax‘ildan. This should be a good one.

When one of my favorite bookstores has a “snowday” sale, how am I supposed to resist ordering a couple books? Venkman might be rolling his eyes at my lack of restraint.

I loved this. Great adventure, lots of backstory, and all the feels. Even if you're not into Critical Role/Vox Machina, or D&D, if you like fantasy books I think you'll enjoy this one. It is also a very inclusive world as well which is refreshing to see.

I‘ve been a fan of Critical Role for years now, and this book is basically like candy for me! The twins were spot-on in their portrayal, and I loved reading this pre-game adventure. #bookspin

I love critical role and dungeons and dragons and box machina was my first really enjoyable experience with both. I loved this book and it was like coming home to follow Vax and Vex through an adventure from before they met the others.

What a lovely dedication in Vox Machina: Kith & Kin. I can't wait to get started on this! I bought the hardcover and the audiobook so I can read along as I listen to Robbie, Liam, and Laura narrate. #CriticalRole
