Overall, this was a fun and quick fantasy read, made all the more enjoyable and immersive through a fantastic audio performance, by the legend that is Fred Berman (the guy who brought Kaz Brekker to life!!). I liked the characters a great deal, particularly enjoying the dynamic between main character Edgin the Bard (leader of the group) and Holga (barbarian warrior woman), who share a great (but unspoken) sense of camaraderie, bonding over their shared adoration of Edgin’s daughter Kira, whom they have raised together.Īdding to the fun mix is Forge (the charming but dubious con-artist) and Simon (the half-elf sorcerer), who Edgin and Holga welcome into the found-family fold in amongst their exciting, sometimes ill-conceived plans to loot and plunder from the rich and unworthy.
This story sets the scene, introducing most of the main characters in the film, showing how they met and highlighting some of their earliest adventures together, as a rag-tag group of thieves and outcasts. I’m totally new to the world of D&D but I decided to be a good little reader and tackle this prequel story BEFORE I saw the big screen extravaganza that is Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves.
