Description:
An inn is a place to rest, a place to talk and share stories, or a place to fin d adventures, a starting ground for quests and legends.

In this world, at least. To Erin Solstice, an inn seems like a medieval relic f rom the past. But here she is, running from Goblins and trying to survive in a world full of monsters and magic. She’d be more excited about all of this if everything wasn’t trying to kill her.

But an inn is what she found, and so that’s what she becomes. An innkeeper wh o serves drinks to heroes and monsters–

Actually, mostly monsters. But it’s a living, right?

This is the story of the Wandering Inn.

Review:
This is the best story in the genre that's available.You will want to read it a ll at once. Don't. Don't even try. As of this writing, it's nearly 5 million wo rds long and if you give in to that "just one more chapter" feeling, before you
know it it's going to be 5:30 AM and your alarm is going to go off in an hour and oh well you weren't going to get much done at work today anyway, they proba bly won't notice if you're also literally asleep, and so on and so forth.
Read it in chunks, keep an eye on the clock, and anytime it's getting near-ish the time that you should be doing something else (sleeping), for godssake stop at the end of the chapter unless it's an absolute nailbiter. "Just one more cha pter" will get you into real trouble with a story this good and this long, you have been warned.

It's a great blend of magic, drama, comedy, and adventure. It's just really wel l done.

The writing is beautiful, descriptive, and most of all free of any/most gramati cal errors! The style is amazing, really descriptive. The writing transports it s readers into the world, its beautiful, just lovely.

The characters are fully fleshed out. They grow, they feel real. They have defi ned personalities and are colorful and sometimes unpredictable, like REAL peopl e. Not some over characterized stereotype. Plus the mc isn't op, though she isn 't weak either; she has her own way of getting around!

Comment:
If this is the first time you've ever heard of this genre, or you aren't too su re where to even start, then this is definitely a good place. It's extremely we ll written and there is absolute attention to detail, to pacing, to plot and al l the much neglected "craft" of story-telling.
