Couriers Outbound

The Wandering Inn #19

by Pirateaba

Schemes are afoot, both grand and wretched alike. But all plots come to light, even the ones buried deepest... and once again, The Wandering Inn connects to these great events.

In Chandrar, the King of Destruction's war with the faltering kingdom of Jecrass has reached a turning point, and a terrible climactic battle awaits. But the knife that cuts through every plot is simply honor.

In the north, Ryoka and Fierre are riding the high of their amazing delivery to the Archmage of Izril, but their challenges won't end with one run. They're approaching the realm of Couriers; that means the stakes have never been higher.

Monsters below and plots hatched from all sides, from the Circle of Thorns to the dungeon of Liscor, but the greatest story is perhaps one of the Yellow Rivers disease has evolved and is sweeping across Baleros. What stands between it and the world?

Just a bit of courage.

Just... Couriers.

Volume 7 is a BANGER! I’m way too hype to finish it with the next book! Frankly I’d be happy to get a new one of these every week!
My favorite part of this book was definitely the Singer’s performances. I just got chills imagining it all.
As a Flos fan myself I was very sad to see him experience a defeat, but I’m very excited to see what he’s capable of when on the back foot.
Seeing the vampire stuff gave me some closure on that mystery and it all made a whole lot of sense.
So much is happening with Erin and I’m so here for it. Especially since it’s all pretty happy and cozy right now!
Damn I just love this series! I’m always happy to enter this world of my favorite series ever.
Let’s keep going!

I love this series book 19 and still keeps me on the edge of my seat . I love all the characters and the world . I love how they’ve all grown and learnt so much. Getting worried when it will end as I dnt want it too. Everyone should read this series it’s so addictive. There are some characters I’m desperate to hurry and cross paths already !

Man I love this series. It is such a cozy read, most of the time. There are definitely atrocities and losses, but mostly just a fun read with soooooooooo much happening. With the size of the series there is so much character development and world building time.

Hat's off to pirateaba and Couriers Outbound, as once again pirateaba has written a Stellar book! Although I wouldn't classify this as just a novel... it, as with all of the books in the Wandering Inn series are a collection of short novels tied together by a group of humans who were shotguned into into world by unknown circumstances. This book happens to tell 12 of those stories. In Couriers Outbound we get more of Ryoka Griffin and Feiro, her vampire friend's, story as they deal with Feiro's relapse. Also Erin Solstice has'ta deal with her own bigotry and find her true Soul flame with Maviola El's help. And speaking of Maviola El she receives a potion that gives her the true bloom of youth and she shines bright 🌞 being the life of the party! And everyone is awed by the Couriers Outbound the guild name he goes by and his feats of courage! And Lism wow! Lism shows his true colors, he really pulls through for Liscor! Of course honorable mentions to the Singer of Terandera, The Players of Selam, Numbtoung, Octavia, and of course Mrsha! Oh, oh, oh I almost forgot, Troy reinvented the bicycle with skills and magic! There literally is soooooooo much more to enjoy, but inspite of all that The Wandering Inn books are Never Ever long enough! And I Absodamnlutely Need the Next book now! Drums fingers!

Too much time with Flos Reimarch, the King of Destruction (6+ hrs of audio book time). I'll be happy when that story line comes to an end; there are far more interesting character to follow other than him. Yet he is surrounded by some really interesting folks.

Current books always feel like they are lacking enough time with the original main character(s) and their shenanigans.

This book felt like lots of things were coming together but then there just wasn't enough book left to wrap it all up, which is normal but this ending was more of a cliff hanger than usual which I found disappointing. This book and the previous book felt like they were builder books and while I feel like lots the plot lines in the previous book grew more or concluded, I wasn't as satisfied as I had been in previous books.

I can only hope that there is a culmination book on the horizon (e.g. Tears of Liscor, book 9).

There is so much to say about this book- this whole series! Countless named characters; plot lines that have been building over the span of multiple books and I enjoy every second. I cannot wait for book 20 and it breaks my heart that I have no more until it arrives.

On another note, there are so many things I’m excited for!!! I cannot wait for the ‘Tall Man’ to make his appearance in The Wandering Inn. I love that he’s protecting her. And the goblins!!!! Where is the Grand Mage?? I neeeeeed to know what’s happening with Grimalkin after the showdown. What crazy confluence of events will Erin kick off next??? Guys this is my comfort series and I need more.

I don’t know if I’ve read too many mediocre books lately or if I just missed this world, but this one is absolutely amazing. Even the writing has improved tenfold. The way each scene transitions seamlessly into the next is something I’ve never experienced before from this author.

This book has everything: epic battles, emotion, moral dilemmas, and fun meanderings. And somehow, it even ends on a cliffhanger.

Brilliant stuff.

If you have already read the story, I already tought this book would fall in between two plots and this would fall into the the "weakest" book for me, it did have some battles and cool moments, but it will start setting up a massive cliff hanger for next book... and then one of the most impactful arcs will start. Vol 8.
