Critical Role: The Tales of Exandria - The Bright Queen (collected volume) by CoupleOfKooks, Ariana Maher, Darcy Van Poelgeest, Matthew Mercer, Cris Peter

3.0

This is a really compelling concept, but unfortunately, it is a bit confusing (or at least was for me, especially at the start). I have a very minimal knowledge of Critical Role’s second campaign, and I do think more knowledge would have helped, but wasn’t mandatory. You can still find this dark and conceptual story of star-crossed lovers compelling without the context of Critical Role. I love the concept, but the execution still felt a bit confusing and cluttered to me, so my rating is a bit lower, as it took me a while to really get into the story, and just let myself enjoy it (as opposed to trying to figure out what was happening).
