Quick Review: Condemnation
As far as D&D-based books go, I’d say this is a masterpiece! Didn’t read many, but it seems to stretch the genre to its limits. Of course, those limits are still in plain sight and pretty much prevent it from being a “real” book, but still… The scale of the events is staggering, there are plenty of characters and locations and, while obviously fights still make up most of the book, there is quite frankly more non-combat action here than I could have expected.
One slip though; Quenthel commanded Jaggred to carry Valas when they had to levitate in the Abyss when Jaggred was actually left back on the physical plane. No editors to notice that?
Uh well… Don’t have the next three in the series and don’t really want them; quite unlikely to have two good ones in any one such series. I’ll write it down on my list of book series that I should continue if I find the rest at some point, but with low priority.
Rating: 7/10
