A suprising ending for this D & D book from Lain...
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
The fourth of the T.H. Lain series "starring" the various "Iconic" characters from the 3rd Edition of Dungeons and Dragons, this is a very quick read as most of them are, and yet has a lot more character depth to it than the last ones. It begins as quite a fun, quick, laugh-riot read, but man, what a dark ending - when a Paladin asks Naull, Regdar and Krusk for help, the four do everything in their power to help her defeat a dark evil warrior, before she uses a scalding fiery power to lay true waste to a large part of the world. Methinks Lain is getting more towards a "series" than episodic writing, cuz I think the plot line introduced for Naull and Regdar is comin' back... I hope. As always, the story is pretty straightfoward hack-n-slash, with character completion actually rising a bit in this one.

This is a very quick read (less than 200 pages), but it is quite enjoyable. I have read the previous books in this series (and would advise others to do so as well), and it meshes nicely. Here's the bottom line--quick melee action, decent story lines, noticeable character development. I'll definitely pick up the next one (Bloody Eye). You don't have to play D & D to enjoy these books, but it definitely helps. This one outlines a barbarian (Krusk) a fighter (Regdar) a wizard (Naull) and a paladin (Alhandra). Enjoy!
