Great new hero, good description
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
This was one of the first books in the FG setting that I have read. I found Cook's description of the Abyss and the realms of the ravenwitch to be particularly intriguing and well written. For me, the descriptions alone made the book worth reading. Cook's cambion hero was also well developed and believable.The budding romance between he and the cleric could have been a bit better developed.Overall a great read.
Not bad at all...

This was my first AD & D book, even though I play a lot. I thought the book was actually quite good.. I don't have many bad comments about the book... The characters were very solid, as was the plot... Monte Cook is a good writer for an excellent campaign in an even cooler universe.
The best book I ever read

I loved the book. Not only because Im an Adnd player but because the descriptions made me feel like I was there.
Great Book!

This is one of those books that keeps you reading and reading. Since I play Dungeons And Dragons I enjoyed reading about Tanar'ri and the abyss. The plot was good and the piece of romance thrown in was good. Read this book, you won't be sorry.
An enjoyable, quick read

To judge by the above reviews, I enjoyed this book a lot more than other people have. I thought that the character of Vheod was initially intriguing and while the author doesn't fully explore his past or how he interacts with others, I think that overall "The Glass Prison" was a fun read. I do agree that Whitlock and Melann's attitudes get annoying after a while, especially considering the lengths Vheod goes to in able to help them. However, the book resolves nicely with a little action (and a little romance) and I'm looking forward to the next book.
