Brigands & Breadknives by Travis BaldreeMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
By his own admission, Travis Baldree often has trouble writing the next book in this series, and this time it really showed more than before. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a welcome change to see Fern, that adorably foul mouthed rattkin, as the principal POV character this time around. She sure grew on me a lot in Bookshops & Bonedust, and clearly on Baldree himself too. But this book also takes the chance of being massively different from its predecessors in that we don’t get to see Fern establish a new business to this world the way Viv often does. No, Fern is basically on a midlife crisis adventure, and the storyline feels like it has to take more leaps of logic from beat to beat. Then again, don’t go by me. I never played D&D.
