ilucam's review

adventurous dark emotional sad medium-paced

How do you like your wizards? Sad, full of angst, and disastrously bisexual? Then this is the graphic novel for you!
This story was outlined in Critical Role campaign 2, but seeing the details of how Bren became Caleb is a much different experience. I love that the writers have left absolutely no doubt about Caleb's sexuality, or his relationship with

Astrid and Eadwulf

.
The final few scenes, where Caleb meets

Nott

left me with a big grin on my face.
