The Wandering Inn is the first part of a -massive- serialized epic crossworlds fantasy by PirateAba. Originally published (and ongoing) from 2018, this reformat and re-release by Harper Avon (HarperCollins) is due out 11th Aug 2026. This volume is 688 pages and will be available in paperback, audio, and ebook formats. It's worth noting that the ebook format has a handy interactive table of contents as well as interactive links and references throughout. For Kindle Unlimited subscribers, this book is currently included in the KU subscription library to borrow and read for free. The other books in the series are also currently available on KU.
Started as an online serial fiction LitRPG self-published series, it took off in a big way and has a massive active fan following; there's even a fandom wiki fanbase with character entries (there are thousands).
With a word count in literal millions, this is not a super fast-paced action driven speedfest. It's slow, stately, occasionally exciting (getting chased by cannibalistic goblins, singed by a dragon, etc).. but mostly it's an innkeeper, thrust into a fantasy setting, and learning how to survive, set up her inn, and gain [innkeeper] levels.
Five stars with a hefty codicil: this is not a fast easy read, the cast numbers in hundreds (maybe thousands?), it's been going on for years and is still actively being written. There's 8 -years- of background and a gargantuan canon. On the other hand, it's easy and accessible (and potentially free to access online) to get started.
Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.
