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?

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

Absolutely heartbreaking, but still brilliant! ❤️

5/5 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 stars!!!
At this juncture, I am loving every story arc and all the side threads in the tale. This is another one focused solely on Liscor. Immensely entertaining and as much full of fun and frolic and cozy elements as it is with war and loss and pain. I have savored the progression, maturation, and the overall arc of the story of redfang Hobs, now wandering-inn Hobs over the past several books.
Again missed Ryoka and Evolith, Evolith understandably so given it is no longer winter anymore. It was impressive the way author treated Marsha’s storyline with captivity, trauma, healing, and return to normalcy of a child.

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

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."

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.

Tears of Liscor — ⭐⭐⭐⭐
So far, this was the best book in the series for me, with a lot happening and some very strong storylines. Unfortunately, some character arcs were handled in a very disappointing way, and a few parts were stretched far beyond what was necessary.
And four hours of narration for a baseball game?! That is half the length of some perfectly good books. 😳 If you like baseball that much, just go and watch some sports channels! 😂
A strong book overall, but it could have been considerably shorter.

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.

I keep hoping that I will get to a point where I am satisfied and ready to move on so I can start reading the other books on my tbr. But I keep wanting more. I love this series and the myriad of characters. The way that there are no bad guys just different people trying to do what they can. Very excited to see what Ryoka is up to.

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...

5++ My personal favorite so far in an overall amazing series.
December 6, 2023
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!

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.

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

Go to hell pirateaba, you betrayer of hope
October 3, 2026
Tears of Liscor by Pirateaba is one of the strongest, saddest books in this whole series for me. I keep seeing people call it the weakest of the arc and I just don't get it. This one and the last book beat everything else so far.
It is also heavy in a way the series hasn't been before. Up to now The Wandering Inn has been mostly warm and cosy, with danger around the edges. This one hurts.
The goblins are the heart of it, and they get more page time than ever. Getting into Garen and Reiss properly, finding out what really happened between the goblin who left to become an adventurer and the team he left behind, gutted me. The Redfang Five have come so far since we first met them. Their training, their fights, their last moments together. Reading it was like watching a car crash. It happens too fast and somehow drags on forever. You know how it ends, you don't want to see it, and you can't look away. It felt like something was slowly dragging my soul out through my belly button. It made every other goblin chapter hit harder too. At the start I was still waiting to get back to Liscor whenever the story cut away. By the back half I was all in.
Pyrite crept up on me. He sits in the background, barely talks, and people take that as him being simple or timid. There is far more going on under there. There was no single moment where it clicked. At some point I just noticed I had fallen for him along the way. The lottery mess with the rewards is just as well done. The goblins who actually did the rescuing get nothing, simply because they are goblins. The book calls out that injustice without hammering you over the head with it.
Erin gets her moment too. She's felt pushed to the side lately, so having her back in the middle of things when the Flooded Waters Tribe arrives feels right. It's so very Erin that she marches into the fighting because her conscience won't let her sit safe behind the walls. And then she has to face that she is not untouchable after all. Yvlon and Ylawes were great, the kind of siblings you adore and also want to grab and hide somewhere safe.
And then there's Bird. He reads as autistic to me, and he is wonderful. He moves through the world on his own frequency, taking everything at face value and missing the danger everyone else can see coming. While the people around him hold their breath, Bird is having the time of his life. He doesn't bow to authority the way the other Antinium do, not even to the ones who could end him without a second thought. That should get him killed. Instead it makes him impossible to ignore, and I would happily read a whole book of just him.
So that's all the ways this book hurt my feelings, in the best way. Now for the moments it ground my gears a bit.
The baseball opening drags on far too long. I'm not from a country that cares about baseball and sports aren't my thing anyway, so that stretch felt endless, even though I get why people needed the breather. Laken, meanwhile, might as well be a completely different person. Nothing about him matches the Emperor we last saw. It felt like someone else had borrowed his name and his crown for a few chapters, and it grated on me every time he showed up. The big battle takes forever to arrive and is over almost before it starts, and the goblins are left holding the bill. Greydath being unbeatable at literally everything is wearing thin. Magnolia showing up to fix things feels rushed rather than earned. And I'm still on the fence about the Antinium Queens calmly deciding to let Liscor fall.
People keep saying this wraps up the arc. It really doesn't. There is just as much left hanging as before, maybe more.
Tears of Liscor lets you settle in, then pulls the rug out and keeps pulling. The goblins break your heart in slow motion, and Erin walks straight into the fire. Painful, gripping and worth every tear.

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

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.

One of the best entries in the series so far, but I still found some of the choices made somewhat disappointing.

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.

Rating: 9/10
Well, I certainly didn't expect that I will ever give a 5 star rating to this series, but when I don't want to do anything but read the book all day, then I guess it's fitting.
The story reached it's first true climax, the Goblin Lord attacked Liscor. It was really satisfying to see how the small actions that Erin did in Book #1 influence future of the continent. That is my favourite part of this series really. If you take a look at the cover art, you know what happens in this book and because of that, I think the next Volume will step away from the Wandering Inn and focus on Ryouka who was ignored in this one.
Volume 5 was really good, while it didn't entirely fix everything (we still get too much information about who has to use the outhouse when), it was a huge improvement over the previous Volumes and I just hope, that this trend continues.
