I wanted to like this book. Sound booth theatre really brought this book to life, but the main character just killed it for me. Some minor spoilers ahead. The main character’s is a has been musician that is now in the body of a bard in a fantasy world. His entire backstory is pretty much irrelevant since he magically becomes able to play a lute, magically knows songs, and magically plays the lute. Also his lute ends up playing itself as well. So the whole reborn musician is irrelevant. Then we get to his personality of just whining and being an idiot at every turn. He doesn’t try to understand his surroundings at all and it is frustrating. He makes many cultural blunders and acts like a know it all as well. I only got through a third of the book before I had to throw in the towel.
