This book, as a continuation of the first in the series, only makes me hate almost all of the characters even more, especially the main character, Jo Menhir. I do not recommend either it or the first in the series, The Tainted Blade, unless you are really dedicated to classic D&D novels. It has some good ideas at times, which is what redeems it somewhat, but it also wastes a great deal of time in descriptions and the constant emotional agonizing of the characters rather than getting to the meat of the matter at hand.
