The Wandering Inn #1.5
No Killing Goblins
In this second volume of The Wandering Inn, Book One of the massive epic fantasy world that has become a LitRPG sensation, new characters take center stage as the Innverse expands beyond Erin Solstice’s inn.
Even as Erin finds companions out of goblins, necromancers, drakes, and gnolls, Ryoka Griffin wants no part in making friends.
She just wants to run.
Luckily, there’s a guild that allows her to do just that, and Ryoka soon finds herself delivering messages and packages across the city. But she’s an oddity to the other runners, and not just because she doesn’t wear shoes.
No, there’s something about her that just doesn’t fit in…and it’s probably the fact that she’s from the real world, and not the fantasy one she’s been sucked into.
Like Erin, she has found herself pulled into a fantasy realm she doesn’t understand. And like Erin, she wants to learn more…but wants to do it her own way. Yet even she is learning she can’t do everything alone, and after a dangerous delivery introduces her to the adventuring group The Horns of Hammerad—and other deliveries bring her into the scope of a powerful Lady and a mysterious magic-user—her new world will never be the same.
Darkness is growing in the Innverse, with new players and monsters being added to the chessboard, and both Erin and Ryoka are finding out that as amazing magic can be, it’s also incredibly deadly.
Note: This is Part 2 of a split edition. The original full book is its own separate edition, so if you read that version, log it here instead: The Wandering Inn

I absolutely flew through the first few books of The Wandering Inn and remember thinking, wow… this series is something special. The world feels huge, alive, and incredibly well thought out, with so many storylines and characters somehow all weaving together into something that just works.
What really kept me hooked early on was Erin and Ryoka (forgive me if I’m spelling that wrong 😅). Their stories pulled me in fast, and I loved how the series balances emotional moments, humour, chaos, adventure, politics, and genuinely wild worldbuilding. There’s always something happening, and the cast becomes massive in a way that somehow still feels fun rather than overwhelming.
Books 1–3 completely grabbed me. Book 4 felt slower for me, and I actually drifted a bit during book 5 and ended up taking a break. After reading other things and coming back to it though, I found myself enjoying it again and remembered why I liked the series so much in the first place. Even when it slowed down, the world and characters were still enough to keep me invested.
These audiobooks are absolutely gigantic (seriously, they are a commitment 😅), but they feel like living in a world for a while rather than just reading a story. Not every section hooked me equally, and I missed having more Erin in later parts, but overall this has been such a fun, ambitious, character-filled series that I’m still excited to continue. Onto the next one.

What a great reread. I missed how everything came together. It has been a while since I first read this and it is so fun. I love me some Erin.
