This was a nice, clean & quick read for fans of Critical Role. Unlike the other Origin stories so far (especially Jester & Caleb's), it didn't really stand alone as its own particularly compelling story, but the art was much more appealing than Yasha's.

CW: If you have any issues with, uh, teeth damage, make sure to skip reading the page after Fjord gets beaten up in the middle of the night. It's not graphic but it's evocative.

This could quite possibly be my favourite of this origin story so far! Fjord has always been a mysterious character with great history, and it was fantastic to see more of his origin. He endured a great deal of hardship, but ultimately his path led him on the adventure of a lifetime.

I particularly enjoyed the interactions with Vandran and the animosity with Sabian. The writing is very good and the art style is gorgeous. I highly enjoyed this little novel and recommend it to all fans of Critical Role!
