Summary
Edgin Darvis’s life is a mess. All that he has left are his lute, his dashing good looks, and his daughter, Kira. After a chance encounter with badass bruiser Holga, Edgin is forced to take a hard look at his bad choices. But the road to redemption is long and paved with unforeseen expenses. Fortunately, the world is full of rich fools begging to be parted from their money.
And so Edgin and Holga do what any sensible entrepreneurs would do—they form a crew.
Joined by the charming rogue Forge Fitzwilliam and Simon, a sorcerer with an intense inferiority complex, the team sets out to line their pockets with both well-earned and ill-gotten gold. Together, Edgin’s crew battles monsters across the realms: gnoll raiders, fey witches, and more fall beneath their sharp weapons and sharper wit. But when they encounter a new, more sophisticated villain, keen blades and piercing blue eyes may not be enough.
Their target? Torlinn Shrake, a wealthy eccentric known for abusing his servants and hosting lavish parties.
The plan? Play dress-up, sneak into the Shrake estate, and fill their pockets with as much loot as they can carry.
The catch? Shrake is hiding a terrible secret: one that could endanger the lives of everyone Edgin has come to care for—even if the loot is too good to pass up.

What I like about this novel is that it feels absolutely like D&D 5e. The story could easily be made into a mini campaign. Many iconic monsters, items, spells and places appear in the story. You can feel the party dynamic in the action scenes.
The only problems that I have with this novel are its limitations. It feels limited in the length, so some of the scenes lack the beautiful descriptions and the world building, that Johnson usually provides. Most of the characters appear in the movie, so they do not change much throughout the novel, they lack personal development. They finish the story in almost the same moral state as they started in. All of this shows that the writer has been limited by the length of the book and by the story elements that were required by the movie creators.
I would love to see more novels, that lack these limitations, written by Jaleigh Johnson, as well as by other talented authors, who love the Forgotten Realms.
Good story, however...
