A forced read for true AD&D fans, 30. November 1999
To say I was looking forward to reading this book was an understatement. This was my favorite AD&D module as a kid. Unfortunately this book read like a module and less like a novel. It was almost painful reading about Lhors' encounters in the city. Describing characters like Malowan as a "paladin" seemed unimaginative. With a good description the reader would have understood he was a paladin. I almost expected characters to introduce themselves as "I'm a thief with a dexterity of 15; what about you?" I did not like the magic system in the book, because it also seemed modulized. There was nothing mystical about his powers, it was all a matter of memorization. I could envision the wizard discussing with the other characters, "Should I memorize 7 reveal spells and 10 silence spells, or 9 reveal spells and 6 silence spells?" Also, there was never any doubt the wizard would have a spell that would keep the party undetected. I also agree the two main characters Lhors and Vlandar were the least interesting. The history of the two characters was weak. This would have made a good trilogy. The encounters with the frost and fire giants were rushed. Neither the characters nor myself wanted the adventure to continue past the hill giant lair. If you loved the module, then go ahead and read the book just to bring back memories. I just wish a better storyline about giants would be created. I am getting tired of reading about dragons.
