I will not read this book even if it was well written. Writers should be nice to their readers. Too bad.

Really amazing book! But the tables...

I really love this series, its a very vell written and thought out story. The only thing that knocks off the 5th star is the new tables introduced in this 7th book. They are not fit for kindle at all. Both the mobile Kindle app and my Kindle tablet struggles hard to format them. Especially the character sheets and other larger status screens. It made them really hard to read and navigate. I really enjoyed the way it was handeled in all the other books, so this was a uneccesary change in my opinion. ( )

At this point the system is dragging down the story. When 2/3 of the content is game mechanics it no longer progresses. Every book adds another mechanic to the world that serves minor or no purpose for the story.

I still like the mechanics and the story. It just has lost its balance and skewed too heavily into the mechanics of things. Often taking 100 pages for a day that has no story impact. ( )

Oh lordy!

I totally fell hard for this book.

Like, I started saying things to myself like, "This was Totally written for me!" and "I don't care one bit about its length, I could keep reading this for several months straight without a single breather." and "NO F***ING WAY! THIS IS EPIC!"

I was already a big fan from the previous 6 books but when I finally got around to reading this 7th, I was a little intimidated by the length. What could have happened here to make it so long?

Muahahahahahahahahaha

Okay, folks, this is the literary equivalent of crack. If you like Skyrim, early Warcraft, any of the turn-based fantasy games OR the MMPRGs, just start shaking it up a bit and throwing all of the best features, including the delightful DING sounds of leveling-up along SO MANY skillsets (Yes, in this book,) getting into leveling jobs, classes, scalable items, dungeon leveling, CRAFTING EVERYTHING, including enchantments on your settlement and the buildings in it.

SO MUCH is focused on this and I didn't care in the slightest because I LOVE THIS STUFF it hardly mattered when the actual epic battles rolled in. :) TONS of epic battles, each using the skills and created enchantments and new spells learned and bonuses from the last battles. :) And we get to see TONS of breathtaking reversals, craziness, OP monsters and LEGENDARY boss battles.

And you know the best part? Very little time is actually lost on character building, except in the, you know... CHARACTER BUILDING. :) lol, I think we must have spent at least ten percent of the whole book time with the skills menu up. :)

But don't think this doesn't come with story. It does. It's an RPG in all the grand styles... and there are even a great deal of fantastic nerdy easter eggs. Just pay close attention to the Chaos skill menu. Or a certain OP magician from Feistland (no relation, indeed) popping up. :)


Seriously, folks, this has addiction level 92 written all over it. And I LOVE it. :)

Can I recommend it for anyone who hasn't played and loved any RPG game in existence?
Maybe. Maybe not. But if you have even a SLIGHT love for them, this series is pure cocaine. ( )
