The Wandering Inn #9
Tears of Liscor
The rains have halted, and all that’s left is mud.
Mud...and the tracks of the Goblin Lord’s army. They have finally come to Liscor, pursued by Tyrion Veltras and his forces. In their path lies The Wandering Inn. Erin Solstice will have to find a way to survive the coming conflict, and save her friends. The question is: at what cost?

Absolutely heartbreaking, but still brilliant! ❤️

2nd Read - I did miss a bunch of stuff! Glad I listened to it again so soon.
******************
I love this series. I feel like I want to start the audiobook again and listen to it again to see if I missed anything.
I love these audiobooks so much that I don't read ahead (for free) on the website. I wait for the next audiobook and don't want to be spoiled. It's a very rare thing for me to choose patience over immediate gratification. WORTH IT!
Why am I shipping Niers and Erin? How tall is he? Six inches? I don't remember the description accurately. I know in this book he stood on his desk to get work done. Ahh yes, he's "as tall as a cup of water."

Like all the other books in this series I loved every minute of it i don’t read ahead on the website I like to wait for these books and get them in audiobook and savor the the time spent getting lost in the book in this amazing fantasy world finding old friends and making new ones the narrator Andrea Parsneau did another fantastic job

Pirateaba had to nerf Bird because he was too powerful and would have resolved the central conflict early.

This is another good entry in the series. At times it feels a touch repeating but it can also be quite comforting. I wish I was more invested in the battles, which is a major part of this story arc.

This series is truly in a class of its own. an argument could be made that the author loses focus at times and rambles on tangents, but oftentimes those turn out to be the best parts. You might not think it at the time, but the effect of the tangents influences everything thereafter whether you acknowledge it or not, and it's all just so good. I don't want to leave that world or the characters.

if we take all of volume 5 as one book it would be book of the year for sure.
might be the most easily consumable audio book I have read

The wandering inn is a unique masterpiece which deserves so much more recognition. Andrea Parsneau is BY FAR the best narrator I’ve ever had the pleasure of listening to so I highly recommend the audiobook. Pirateaba continues to delivers 10/10 writing, stories, characters, worlds etc and I have never read anything by them that was anything less than perfection. I will, as per usual, wait impatiently, but excitedly, for the next book.

Searching for a home...

How much I love these books... it is hard to find words. I love these characters so much--and I love Pirateaba's ability to create a character who I would die for with only a few paragraphs. There are so so many epic moments in this book... and while the story is obviously continuing still, it is a wonderful wrap up for this volume/arc.
The last two entries were painful--watching Rags & Laken, two characters I enjoy, stuck in a cycle of violence... this book has a lot of heartbreaking moments, but in this volume I still felt like we were over the most painful times... despite everything the Goblins still go through, it was almost relaxing compared to Rains & Blood of Liscor. In this book, the Goblins, all of them--from Rags to Erin's Bouncers, Garen Redfang and even Reiss and Tremborag--they all get amazing stories, backstories, and OMG moments.
There are a lot of memorable scenes for other characters too--Bird, Erin, and Mrsha stand out in particular--and there are several WTF twists both within the volume... and ones which seem to be setting up for what is to come. Can't wait!

A focused narrative with compelling characters. The author concluded a story arc that has taken 4-5 books to finally resolve itself, and she did so extremely well in my opinion.
The one gripe I have is that the final battle sequence in this book was a bit confusing at times and didn’t seem to have a clear sense of direction. I’ve read better battle sequences (some written by this same author).
Overall, one of the better books in the series and the author continues to improve and hone her craft as the series continues. Looking forward to the next one!

EPIC...cant do less than 5 stars. There is no fantasy saga with such a scope that can take you through joy to sadness and back in few pages. There is no more characters in one place that you love/hate , but understand their reasons than in Wandering Inn.

This one destroy me. Simple and clean. The final part It sucked the little will to live i have left. Im fell only the empty inside. 10/10

Com sempre, Pirateabs aconsegueix fer-me sentir una explosió d’emocions amb un altre relat ple d'acció i conseqüències. La ciutat de Liscor es veu immersa en el caos mentre les tensions entre humans, goblins, altres races i els morts vivents arriben al punt de ruptura. Erin Solstice, amb la seva posada com a epicentre, es veu obligada a enfrontar decisions que poden canviar el destí de tots. Pirateaba teixeix una narrativa intensa que barreja batalles èpiques, moments d’humanitat i pèrdues devastadores. Els personatges creixen, pateixen i lluiten, i no podem evitar sentir-nos arrossegats per aquesta marea de sentiments. Un llibre que et deixa sense alè i amb el cor a mig trencar, una cosa que ja va sent habitual amb 𝑇ℎ𝑒 𝑊𝑎𝑛𝑑𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝐼𝑛𝑛 i que consti que el títol d'aquest volum, 𝑇𝑒𝑎𝑟𝑠 𝑜𝑓 𝐿𝑖𝑠𝑐𝑜𝑟, ja apuntava maneres...

RTC - This goes above and beyond anything I'd have expected from a webseries... One of the best SFF-books I've ever read (both as just Tears of Liscor but also and especially as the full Volume 5 of TWI) in one of my favourite series in fiction.
TWI is truly something special and one of a kind - in a similar vein things like One Piece are special and one of a kind.
These won't ever happen again and I'm so glad I'm a part of it.
Also I've not been this emotional over a piece of fiction since One Piece actually... maybe Carl did it once or twice but some scenes in this... Wow.

Accurate title
Everytime in surprised by the depth of each character, and the amount of joy and despair we are handed.
Giving us an epic war scene, and feeling each part of the march was incredible.
There was so much tension, and yet Erin still brought giggles of delight

Soooo in earlier books the threat of modern weaponry was ruled a non-issue, but in this book some trebuchets are enough to pose a serious threat to a major city... uhhh which is it? Is modern weaponry a non-issue due to magic or is the threat of even medieval technology a serious game changer?
Imagine a tank rolling up to Liscor if throwing some rocks was a serious issue.

A fitting end to this arc, but a bit of a lunchbag letdown compared to the epic conclusions of books 7 and 8. As usual:
The Good:
- The baseball opening was endearing and a nice palate cleanser for both the characters and readers after a heavy book 8 ending.
- More backstory for Garen and Reiss, teasing more of the key of the Goblin king.
- The Redfang 5 were great throughout. the development of their different classes and training cave goblins to the final battle with Reiss. It was giving TMNT in the best way. RIP.
- The lottery politics was fun to play with the injustice to the goblins but great twist at the end with the secret hoard from the raskgar. Interested to see if the newly acquired riches storyline will play heavily into the next few adventuring group storylines.
- The Bird and Bevussa interlude was delightful. Easily my favourite character and how dare you make me think he was dying Pirateaba.
- The Tremborag flashback/exposition on Graydath and the lords controlling the kings was an interesting lead. A good end for the character as we needed to thin some out.
- The general premise for Tyrion using the goblins to attack Liscor and the political ramifications was a great driver for the story, even if the final execution lacked spectacle. There were a lot of great pre-battle tension scenes and character moments that were giving Helm's Deep.
- Erin punching Olesm in the face and going to jail. Guy was a bigger tool than usual this book.
- The door heist and conversation between Typheneous and Eltistiman. Looking for Typheneous to get some comeuppance soon for straddling both sides constantly.
- Reiss vs Rags betrayal and Pyrite being a badass. Interested to see if we get more on the eating gemstones side of magic after his arc's end.
- The Halfseekers and Garen finally coming together and the reveals of flashbacks during their fight was well done. The last chapter with the Halfseekers really felt anticlimactic after they didn't really get to resolve their conflict.
- The Flooded Water Tribe arriving at the Wandering Inn let Erin shine as our main character and was a nice refresher on the slice-of-life parts of the series. Breaking down cultural prejudices and the dance party was an excellent plot device.
- The interlude cook-off between Gary and Pebblesnatch was adorable and comical.
- Yvonne and Ylas conflict was handled well with some great dialogue.
- Erin being Erin and trying to parlay on the field of battle, great Redfang 5 return and battle sequences with Pawn and the Antinium. Missing a bit of the excitement with the adventurers just sitting on the sidelines. Reiss and Azkerash battle with the RF5 was well done with Garen completing his arc. Some good choices to thin out the goblin characters (despite my sadness for the RF5).
- Great teasers for the next book. Can't wait to see what Goblin was saved by Laken (please be a RF5 - particularly Numbtounge as I want more bard exploration). Lyonette's family drama, Osthia working with Ilvriss, all the remaining goblins united.
The Bad:
- Stop using harried. Choose another word.
- The fuck is up with Laken. None of his actions felt aligned with his character and values until his repentance at the end.
- The battle had way more potential as a siege and it just kind of stopped and the goblins get shafted.
The Meh:
- The Goblin chapters were an improvement, but i still wanted to get back to Liscor each time. Having the 3 main goblin factions and leaders in one setting allowed for some enhanced conflict and exposition.
- Graydath being OP at everything and everyone is getting tiresome.
- Not sure how I feel about the Antinium Queens casually debating overthrowing Liscor and subverting years of planning.
- Krshia's interlude was just fine.
- Magnolia's intervention helped the plot, but was somewhat creatively weak.
Overall, weakest of the arc for me, but still a strong book. Hoping Book 10 and the return of Ryoka doesn't drive me insane.

this book hurt my heart... but in the best way
May 5, 2025
Holy fucking shit. This book is amazing. I know I say this about some books but this book is just perfection, or at least as close to it as Pirate has gotten.
If I had to compare it to something, I’d say it’s the Avengers Endgame, the Battle of Five Armies, the Brandon Sanderson of endings. It was explosive, sad, and ultimately heartbreaking for everyone. And I mean everyone.
The building, the omniscient viewpoint of the characters, the plot on Liscor, it just worked. Characters grew and evolved. There was joy, loss, and reprieve before the walls of Liscor, if only for a moment.
Personally I find Pawn’s storyline to be one of my favorites, and damn I felt for him.
But that asshat of a Lord Tyrion with a stick up his ass was really really smart. And possibly over committed. At what point does a man give up his soul and his values, when he is in search of valor and victory? When does a man disregard the consequences of his actions for a hole he’s dug far too deep to climb out of? For all the cunning (and honestly perfectly fair) actions that Lady Magnolia has committed, whether I agree or not, I do agree with Magnolia’s actions here. If it takes murdering Tyrion’s children and entire family, burning his manor, and going for his ass (lube not included), I (mostly) wholeheartedly agree. Lord Tyrion payed the price with his children’s blood and there’s no going back, he’s a lost man whether he knows it or not. He’s already broken. He just can’t see it yet.
In terms of other characters, the [Goblin Lord] Reiss lived as he died, following his dream of finding peace for goblins. At least he was finally free.
Erin’s going to have a lot of trauma. Straight up, I think she’s going to hole up in her inn for a month and just wallow. But I do feel her though. Her hob friends are gone, and she’s just patching up her heart, trust in the world, and humans in general. She might have a fate of despair only surpassed by the goblin’s side character nature and deep connection with death.
There’s so many characters to talk about here and it really is like Endgame. Everyone is here (minus Ryoka), but in the end no one wins. Thanos lives and the living weep. It really raises the question of futility, who is who’s master, and most importantly, how we live on past the death and destruction. How we grieve and grow from our loss.
I only touched on a small bit of the character development and plot but by the dead gods this series is good. If you’ve gotten to this point of my rambling thoughts on this book, pick up the first book of The Wandering Inn (the rewrite!). I love this series to death and will stand by it to my grave.
Anyway, thanks for listening to my sporadic thoughts and opinions. Until next time!

Curse you, pirateaba and Andrea Parsneau, for making me care so much about goblins! When things started, I didn’t really care for the goblin chapters. Now I want to re-read them so I can give them the appreciation that they deserve. The final chapter reminded me of how much other stuff is going on in this world but the penultimate chapter was an emotional rollercoaster of a climatic moment that makes this book feel complete.

The smallest group of Goblins choose a non Goblin to follow. they also attacked to protect there home. I think Liscor overreacted when they took the door, but I understand what fear does to people. What I want to know is what will the humans do that there plan failed.
November 22, 2023
45 hours of goblins in this book alone not including the previous one. Not joking about that whatsoever. Enough already! No progression in all the other storylines. ZERO!

The Raskghar of the dungeon have been defeated. Everyone is suffering following the battle of the dungeon that concluded at the end of the previous book. And so, Erin decides to put on a baseball game in Cellum to allow everyone to relax and have fun in the sunshine.
Rags' tribe are being driven by a [Lord] to arrive at a rendezvous point but the use of spells and harassing tactics makes the journey miserable. When the Lord's son kills a hob for sport Rags decides to seek revenge. Whilst passing through a forest, fires are lit and the Lord's son is trapped with Rags holding a sword to his throat amidst the flames. The Lord begs for mercy and Rags relents. The harassment ends but the Lord still leads the tribe towards the rendezvous point.
The Redfang tribe (led by Garen), the Mountain tribe (led by Tremborag), the Goblin Lord's tribe (led by Reiss), and the Plains Water tribe (led by Rags) eventually converge. A massive human army surrounds them and starts leading them all south.
Liscor is aware of the coming horde and know of Tyrion Ventrass' plan to invade Liscor under a false pretense. He'll use trebuchet to breach the city walls, force the goblins through to destroy the city, then "free" the city by destroying the goblins. Thus, the city would pass into human hands.
Headscratcher, Numbtongue, Badarrow, Rabbiteater, and Shorthilt have freed the cave goblins from the dungeon and are teaching them different survival skills. But, when Greybeard visits the five goblins at Erin's inn he ruins things which ends up with Bird being severely injured.
Eventually, the goblin horde arrives on the Flood Plains. They spend one glorious night visiting with Erin before the humans and the Goblin Lord approach.
Erin tries to stop the battle through flying a white flag and seeking to parlay. Nothing changes until the cave goblins, lead by the five goblins, arrive at her side and start marching towards the invading forces.
A MASSIVE battle ensues in the plains around Liscor.
This was an emotional read and the penultimate chapter that dealt with the emotional aftermath of the battle was especially painful to read. So much was lost. So many gave so much.
Loved it - 4 stars
