Absolutely phenomenal with all the artwork & lore, really puts everything the gang has been through on the campaign。 It also makes for a great coffee table book。 I enjoyed learning more about Beau, Jester; Caleb and Molly。 Their stories seemed to be more fleshed out in terms of all the annotations featured by Caleb or Beau。 I can definitely see how reading this on a e-reader would be less than ideal。

If you're a fan of Critical Role, this is a book for you!

It's extra interesting since many footnotes are written by Archivist Zeenoth and if you're up to date on the campaign (today's date being the 9th of March 2021) you know why that might be。。。a thing。Highly recommend this to all fans of Critical Role and beautiful and cool art! 。。。more

I haven't actually listened to MN yet。 I'm still finishing VM。 So I don't know if this cleared up or confused most of the story for me。 What is do know is that I am really excited to meet these characters and follow their adventures。 The Art is wonderful。 I often spent several minutes just looking at the pieces, admiring the skill and style is so many of them。 I love the variation in styles and the many ways the a single character can be rendered, yet all recognizable as themselves。 These books I haven't actually listened to MN yet。 I'm still finishing VM。 So I don't know if this cleared up or confused most of the story for me。 What is do know is that I am really excited to meet these characters and follow their adventures。 The Art is wonderful。 I often spent several minutes just looking at the pieces, admiring the skill and style is so many of them。 I love the variation in styles and the many ways the a single character can be rendered, yet all recognizable as themselves。 These books are beautiful。 。。。more

Seeing The Mighty Nine art that I hadn’t seen before was great。 As was reading the Cobalt Soul’s comments on Beau’s notes。 However, the best part was obviously reading Beau’s notes on the The Mighty Nine。 I hope we see another art book with notes from Beau for the later parts of the campaign eventually。

Kel

such pretty art!!!! interesting notes!!!!! big enough to hit someone over the head with!! love it!

Written as the journal of Beauregard of the Mighty Nein, and including artwork by Critters and delightful ephemera。 This is just too much fun! And more beautiful than we deserve。

Critical Role: The Chronicles of Exandria the Mighty Nein is less of a book, and more of a love letter to the fans of the insanely popular web show Critical Role。 The book is basically a set of reports from Beau to the Cobalt Soul sandwiched between some absolutely amazing art provided by the show's fans。The lead time on bringing a book like this to market is quite long so the character profiles will be a little old for people who are up-to-date with the show, but the way it is set up there is p Critical Role: The Chronicles of Exandria the Mighty Nein is less of a book, and more of a love letter to the fans of the insanely popular web show Critical Role。 The book is basically a set of reports from Beau to the Cobalt Soul sandwiched between some absolutely amazing art provided by the show's fans。The lead time on bringing a book like this to market is quite long so the character profiles will be a little old for people who are up-to-date with the show, but the way it is set up there is plenty of scope for further books in the series covering later events。If you're looking for a story or some deep dive into the world, this isn't really for you。 However, if you're looking for a beautiful coffee table book with some breathtaking artwork and some little in-jokes and character pieces, then you'll really enjoy this。 It is certainly one for the show's fans rather than people new to the world of Exandria, but if you love the show, chances are you'll love this。 。。。more

Tell me I wasn’t the only one who spent the entire book squinting trying to decipher the fancy cursive handwriting。 😶

Unfamiliar with the setting and characters but I liked most of the artwork and found the characters unique。

This book is honestly just so beautiful。 All the art is incredible, and looking back on the M9's journey through a new lens is simultaneously fascinating and nostalgic。 I love Beau's observations and commentary alongside notes from the archivists, not only because it offers a new perspective, but also because there are nuggets of lore and world/character building in there。 Now to wait impatiently for a second volume。 :D This book is honestly just so beautiful。 All the art is incredible, and looking back on the M9's journey through a new lens is simultaneously fascinating and nostalgic。 I love Beau's observations and commentary alongside notes from the archivists, not only because it offers a new perspective, but also because there are nuggets of lore and world/character building in there。 Now to wait impatiently for a second volume。 :D 。。。more

This book isn't a read as much as it is a visual feast。 The variety and extent of fan art dedicated to the Mighty Nein, paired with Expositor Beauregard Lionett's notes, make this a delightful book。 I particularly enjoyed the margin notes from the archivists of the Cobalt Soul。 If you are a fan of Critical Role or just like good fantasy art, it's worth taking a look at this coffee table tome。 This book isn't a read as much as it is a visual feast。 The variety and extent of fan art dedicated to the Mighty Nein, paired with Expositor Beauregard Lionett's notes, make this a delightful book。 I particularly enjoyed the margin notes from the archivists of the Cobalt Soul。 If you are a fan of Critical Role or just like good fantasy art, it's worth taking a look at this coffee table tome。 。。。more

A gorgeous artbook and character profile collection for the early section of the Mighty Nein's campaign, designed as if compiled by the Cobalt Soul from Beau's notes on her travelling companions and their adventures。 It details the (early) profiles of the Nein, various NPCs, and various organisations and events they encountered。I was sad to reach the end。 And also sad that it stops before reaching the Xhorhas arc, so nothing from the Kryn Dynasty in here。 Desperately hoping for a part 2 to cover A gorgeous artbook and character profile collection for the early section of the Mighty Nein's campaign, designed as if compiled by the Cobalt Soul from Beau's notes on her travelling companions and their adventures。 It details the (early) profiles of the Nein, various NPCs, and various organisations and events they encountered。I was sad to reach the end。 And also sad that it stops before reaching the Xhorhas arc, so nothing from the Kryn Dynasty in here。 Desperately hoping for a part 2 to cover more NPCs as well as the later revelations of the Nein (Nott's history, Fjord's history, the Traveller's identity, etc。)。 。。。more

Stunning art, fun commentary, as a critter you could hardly fail to love this volume。 The deluxe edition has lots of fun extras as well!

The art and the descriptions are beautiful, but I found the handwriting really hard to read with the book as an ebook。

I thought this was going to be another story。 Something like Critical Role – Vox Machina: Origins。 It's not。 It's actually some very lovely art and text descriptions for characters。Now, I borrowed this online from Hoopla, so I couldn't preview what was inside in the same way I could have if I'd had a physical copy in front of me。 So。 I was pretty disappointed。A wall of text with a picture is not my jam。I didn't know who these characters were so I didn't care what these snippets of information I thought this was going to be another story。 Something like Critical Role – Vox Machina: Origins。 It's not。 It's actually some very lovely art and text descriptions for characters。Now, I borrowed this online from Hoopla, so I couldn't preview what was inside in the same way I could have if I'd had a physical copy in front of me。 So。 I was pretty disappointed。A wall of text with a picture is not my jam。I didn't know who these characters were so I didn't care what these snippets of information about them said。 I tried skimming some of it, but I was lost and quickly gave up on reading。 I looked at the pretty pictures and closed the book (so to speak, b/c。。。digital)。However!For fans of whatever this is?It has some gorgeous character drawings inside and I'm sure those of you who actually know and love these characters will be quite impressed。So。 Yeah。 Recommended for fans of whatever this is。 。。。more

Gorgeous art, enjoyable concept, BIG book。 Did I mention the art? Wow。

Ryan Case

It's interesting to see the book as a collection of Beau's notes - it makes it more "real" in a sense, but Beau is notably somewhat scatterbrained and messy, which makes it hard to follow at times。 If you like the show, you'll love this book, but it will be a mess to anyone that doesn't know the backstory going in。 It's interesting to see the book as a collection of Beau's notes - it makes it more "real" in a sense, but Beau is notably somewhat scatterbrained and messy, which makes it hard to follow at times。 If you like the show, you'll love this book, but it will be a mess to anyone that doesn't know the backstory going in。 。。。more

Probably more of a 4。5 star read but only dropped the half a star because some of the “handwritten notes” are a bit difficult to work out。 But another fantastic art book。

At first I thought this book was a graphic novel but instead it was just pictures。 I didn’t understand the book it self but the pictures were amazing! I kind of wish it was a graphic novel I think it would be a great one。

Absolutely a stunning book。 Perfect for fans of Crit Role! The art is lovely and the little report snippets are so fun。
