A dangerous king stirs far away from the Wandering Inn even as Erin masters more skills, Ryoka starts her path to becoming a Courier, and Rags forms plans for her goblin empire in the second volume of Fae and Fare, Book Two in the Wandering Inn LitRPG epic fantasy series!
In theory, Erin and Ryoka know that King Flos returning is bad.
The problem what are they supposed to do about it?
He is a figure of legend, and they’ve already encountered one of his mostly deadly vassals, Gazi. And while they didn’t exactly defeat her, they did send her packing…and minus an eye.
So maybe a concert at the Wandering Inn isn’t out of the question?
But this is the Innverse, so there can never just be singing, dancing, burgers, and chess games.
Because under the surface (and, to be clear, on the surface), darkness is growing. This is still a world of monsters, still a world of violence, and still a world of divided kingdoms and races.
The Wandering Inn may welcome in everyone from the undead to frosty fae, but the rest of the land can’t forget old wars and old wounds…nor will it wait to take action. King Flos rides once more, the Free Antinium continue their secret machinations, and there’s a new dungeon outside of Liscor…and what’s inside might be even worse than Skinner.
Worse, merchants keep stealing Erin’s recipes, so how is she supposed to keep the Inn afloat?
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: Fae and Fare
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.
A dangerous king stirs far away from the Wandering Inn even as Erin masters more skills, Ryoka starts her path to becoming a Courier, and Rags forms plans for her goblin empire in the second volume of Fae and Fare, Book Two in the Wandering Inn LitRP.
The story gets better and better. A dragon! A goblin with feelings! And a cloth alchemist! Heroes and villains, so hard to decide which is which. This was supposed to be the part where I turned away, but Pirateaba has cast a spell. I’ll meet ya at the Inn for a burger.
My reread was amazing. Ryoka still .akes bad choices so often and I hoped during the reread she would change. Haha. Nope. This is still an amzing book!
While there are quirky little things that minorly bug me about this series, I just can't quit reading it! It's one adventure after another with hardly time to breathe in between. So fun!
