I have thoroughly enjoyed every book of the wandering inn series. I do not know if someone who had not read.The other books would enjoy it as much as I did. I suspect they would.

one has to guess what happens toward the end of chapter 10 to make sense of 11. Other than that, the storytelling wasn't very compelling. Not bad, good even in some places. Did not love it.

I would return it if I could. Had I known most the 5 star reviews came from people who got the book for free I would not have bought it. 50 reviews with 100% 5 stars. I feel like the author may have written a good book, but it does poorly in an audio book format. If there were a supplemental pdf with the examples or something this book would be much better. "as you can see in the example below..." but I can't because it's an audio book.

For example imagine this being read to you...

"def scope_test():
def do_local():
spam = "local spam"

def do_nonlocal():
nonlocal spam
spam = "nonlocal spam"

def do_global():
global spam
spam = "global spam"

spam = "test spam"
do_local()
print("After local assignment:", spam)
do_nonlocal()
print("After nonlocal assignment:", spam)
do_global()
print("After global assignment:", spam)

scope_test()
print("In global scope:", spam)"

Then imagine trying to keep that in your head as the author explains the programs output.

There are so many different story arcs going on at the same time. Yet all of them are interesting. I am thoroughly enjoying this series.

I read this on recommendation... it was ok, but I feel like there is too much spanking and whipping fetish. I also feel like it was all to mechanical. Too many things that are significantly dangerous treated in a casual manner. I know it's fantasy, but it reads a little like erotica written by people who haven't had sex. She does a better job later in the series, but I feel like none of her main character had enough agency. There was also remarkably little aftercare. I know it's a non-consent fantasy story. Almost none of it (a tiny bit at the end) of it was consensual non consent I felt uncomfortable reading it. With that part missing it read more like a story of abuse and conditioning than erotica. The later books do better. All that said, the characters were interesting enough for me to finish listening to the series

This was the best of the three. Far less formulaic than the first two. It also had the most clear agency of the characters. Overall I'm glad to be at the end of the series. The characters were compelling enough I had to finish the series. That said, I wouldn't recommend it unless you're really into spanking, whipping and pony play. There is too much non-consent and loss of agency for me to enjoy the series. Also the first two books had a surprising lack of aftercare. I feel like there is a dangerous chance people would take this as a guide or relationship template rather than the pure fantasy it is.

the characters and story were remarkably shallow for this whole series. kind of like the old Flash Gordon movie serials. not the cool one with the rock music but the black and white ones. the narration was hurt by horrible sound effects and horrible fake accents.
