Cav's Place

Andra didn’t get to this one before me either, although I didn’t by any means pounce on it as soon as it arrived.
Maybe good for a basic background of a game, maybe also good for reading, but… Something seems unbalanced. The first half of the book didn’t seem to be heading anywhere, then everything just happens way too fast in the second half. Magic users way too powerful, fighters way too dumb, though the thieves were nice, and twists that were way too strained. Going out of your way to make things seem impossible and then “forgetting” a problem or putting characters in the middle of the action out of the blue to do things that the main characters couldn’t… Spoiler warning: Did anyone else notice that the sorceress is no longer harmed when casting spells during that battle for the stone even before she gets the stone? And who or what was that thing that helped them after that fight, where did he come from and why did he do what he did? That guy’s appearance is just all too convenient…
Quite good enough, but too forced somehow.

Rating: 7/10
