This series of stories/books has two main characters. Angsty teenage characters who are smarter than anyone else and they know it. The characters also hate other people. Until they need help. Then people are okay. But still stupid. The author apparently has issues with male figures in their life. This comes out quite often. The two main characters are female, but it feels like ithe book was written by a 13 year old boy. The oblivious self absorption, the angst, the mild self harm, nobody understands them, they don’t need people, all alone in whatever world they’re living in, etc. This book doesn’t seem to be aimed at a wide audience, but rather a narrow age range of insecure individuals who hate their parents, friends, adults in general (except certain female adults). Very odd, grating narration left me feeling absolutely no emotion for the two main protagonists. A bad purchase on my part.

Okay, so not necessarily a classic D&D adventure, but funny. The characters are so over the top, you love to hate them. This adventure just screams “first world problems…in D&D land”

Overall a good D&D based adventure book. Story is easy to follow with only a few moments of “huh?”. The ending did seem a bit rushed. Some annoying inflections (I.e. the constant “, girl!” Sentences). Overall a good 3.5 stars.

The information in this book is dated. Some of the the websites and products mentioned may no longer be available. There is some good information here , but it is mixed with bad information, too. Sanitary napkins to stop bleeding? Nope, not recommended. Buy gold and silver for currency? Meh, useful in only a few specific scenarios. This might be a good starting point for someone to be prepared, but there are better books. Buy a more general book that discusses planning, and then get excellent books in specific areas like first aid, food storage, etc. that’s my advice and opinion, for what it’s worth.
