Out of all the Critical Role "origin" comics, I was most intrigued to read this one, as Leylas Kryn is only someone we meet as an NPC in the play show. I think it wasn't my favourite out of all of the CR comics, but the art (especially the cover art) is gorgeous, and the tale it tells is a surprisingly dark one, but one that adds great context to the country of Xhorhas and the lived experience of its rulers. If you're not a fan of ambiguous endings or endings left up to interpretation, this is not the book for you. And if you're looking for more information on what The Luxon is (like I was when I started reading it), you'll likely just end up with more questions.
Moderate: Body horror, Child death, Death, Violence, and Death of parent
Minor: Child abuse
