Critical Role: The Mighty Nein Origins--Yasha Nydoorin

Cecil Castellucci — 2022

Celebrated writer Cecil Castellucci joins artist William Kirkby, with Matthew Mercer and Ashley Johnson of Critical Role, to draw back the curtain on the tumultuous past of the Mighty Nein’s Yasha Nydoorin in this stand-alone graphic novel in the Critical Role series! For Yasha, there has always been a storm on the horizon. Maybe it formed with her adoption by the Dolorov people in the harsh lands of Xhorhas. Or perhaps when she fell for her first love, Zuala. Or still later, when grief and madness drove her from her village and out into—somewhere else. Maybe, on the other hand, Yasha IS the storm.

I received an ARC copy of this book from Edelweiss. The art was very different and took me a little bit to get used to. But by the end I actually liked the art and felt it worked in this graphic novel. I thought it was well written and a good look at Yasha from the start. I do feel that unless you enjoy the characters already it may not be as enjoyable standalone, as I am fan of Critical Role this is a bit hard to judge though. Overall I felt it was good and if you like the character this good one to pick up! :)
