review 1: The book was pretty well written. My only problem was there were points where I was confused about the dialogue, like who was saying what. It was hard to follow. The plot was really good though, with twists I didn’t see coming. The characters were interesting, even though they weren’t developed much. There backgrounds weren’t explained much, even though the author hinted at things that had occurred to them, such as Sul losing his wife but not really explaining much about what had happened to her. Each character had their personal demons, as well as the main plot which brought them all together. If you want to read this book, have some general knowledge of the Elder Scrolls series, such as races and locations, or it will be pretty confusing. The author doesn’t reall... morey explain general information, he just expects the reader to have knowledge of it.
review 2: This is the first of two novels placed within the Elder Scrolls universe. The story of the two novels takes place between the games Oblivion and Skyrim. 40 years after the Oblivion crisis. This first book, The Infernal City, was interesting but kind of slow since it was mostly about bringing the heroes together and "getting there". Though it did provide a great promise of things to come in the next book. Annaïg and Mere-Glim are best friends. They live in the south of Black Marsh and one day a flying city shows up out of nowhere killing everything in its path and creating a walking dead army in its wake. Annaïg likes to meddle with alchemy and she finds a potion that gives flight. She and Mere-Glim both end up on this flying city after trying the new flying potion, and they decide to try and bring it down before it destroys all of Tamriel. less

Very hard to follow, a little all over the place with the story, not what I was hoping for.

Barely tolerable, not worthy of the "Elder Scrolls" title.
