The Wandering Inn, Book 2

By: pirateaba

Narrated by: Andrea Parsneau

Winter has come to the world, and still, Erin Solstice has no idea how she came to be an [Innkeeper].

Erin is running an inn outside the city of Liscor, but she’s no longer alone. Ryoka Griffin, the City Runner, has business in the south of Izril; she’s out on a dangerous delivery of her own. Yet while both young women have finally found their calling, more and more people are beginning to realize that these visitors from Earth don’t belong here.
Erin must find new guests and old for her inn while expanding her tentative business. Staying safe would also be nice. At the same time, some pesky creatures have arrived to herald winter, and they bring mischief and danger unlike anything she’s ever seen. But as more and more children of Earth begin appearing, the cold of winter is the least of Erin’s worries.

60+ hours just flew bye!

I loved basically everything about this book! The side stories were awesome, the characters are beautifully and consistently flawed, the arcs are exciting, the world is delightfully complex, and the narration is superb. Normally with a book nearly this long, I would have to stop in the middle and listen to something else for a while, but not with this one.

My one complaint might be that the cyclical storytelling from multiple perspectives was a little confusing at times because the time spans of the perspectives can be wildly varied. For example, a secret can be revealed to one character from another character's perspective, and then we switch to that character's perspective and start long before that point and may not even reach that point. It got a little confusing, but I think that is the nature of the issue and a bit unavoidable. I loved having all the different perspectives of the same situations because they add a lot a nuance and humor to the stories.

The Pirate has done it again!

Probably my favorite storyline. These characters keep evolving and changing throughout the series. Easily the longest audible I’ve purchased and when I was done I wanted more. 10/10 would recommend to any dragon.

An amazing tale wirh a wonderfully rich characters

Pirate Aba has managed to make in epic fly by in moments, leaving you craving for more. Each character has their own movtives which work for and against everyone else. Each small story is interwoven as well as a master tapestry. The story coupled with the narrators voice makes me anxious for the next book, and awed how quickly this one has passed.

Can't wait for volume 3!!!

I really enjoy in depth character development and detailed stories. This series has it, and a great narrator. I hope the whole series is made into audiobooks (i drive A LOT and I can't read near as much as I like).

issss gooood!

I can't believe how much I love this book! The story picks up nicely where the first volume ended. While I had some misgivings about a 61 hour audio-book, I ate through this thing, and could have listened to another 60 plus hours easily! I can't wait for the next one to come out. Seriously how is this so good!?! Characters are never static, world building is in rare form and the emotional resonance of all the characters (even the "evil" ones) shines through often. I was regularly surprised by actually being excited about the tangent story lines especially rags. Rags! When was the last time you empathized with a goblin!??! seriously, a brilliant book, ignore the haters that are complaining about "politics" being in the book. I honestly even appreciated that tangent as it gives us a bridge to this world from ours and hooks us into a fantasy of being whisked away to a world where politics must take a backseat to dragons, half-elves, undead and Faeries!

without giving any spoilers, my only complaint would be that some of the story lines don't seem to come to any kind of resolution before the end. I can only assume they will come back in the next book, but its always nice to get a lil' taste of a story line before we have to wait for however many years it takes to write something like this. Regardless, do yourself a favor and pick this one up, its a fantastic world and an enjoyable respite from our current condition.
