Rains of Liscor

Book seven of The Wandering Inn finds Liscor transformed. The spring floods have reshaped the Floodplains into a vast inland sea, turning overland travel into a memory and drawing fresh dangers from the dungeon below. Erin Solstice's improbable inn sits at the center of it all: her magic door has caught the eye of distant powers, goblins press from the wilderness, and the shadow of the Goblin Lord stretches further with each passing chapter. Pirateaba uses the seasonal upheaval as both literal backdrop and narrative engine, expanding the world outward to the Walled City of Pallass while the stakes quietly escalate around the inn's regulars.

Andrea Parsneau's performance is a masterclass in ensemble work. Across a cast that spans humans, drakes, gnolls, and stranger creatures, she keeps each voice immediately recognizable without caricature. Her pacing matches Pirateaba's rhythms well, carrying the story through quieter character moments and high-tension scenes with equal confidence. At nearly 34 hours, the runtime demands a narrator who sustains energy throughout, and Parsneau delivers.
