review 1: It wasn't bad. The characters were fascinating; however, very few of the game mechanics and cultural restraints were followed. If it was necessary for the character to complete an objective, then ignore the pre-existing history, cultures, and mechanics to make the scene work. Mr. Baker is a very good writer, but, perhaps, he could have written in another milieu?I just couldn't read the rest of the series.
review 2: The book was decently written, with some characters that became quite endearing, but despite the "troubled background" that they give Geran Hulmaster, he's very predictable, and too one dimensional. The story tends to also become a little easy to forsee, but the descriptions were delightful and vivid, and the fight scenes were quick paced and fun... more. It was a good read, but it wasn't fantastic. 3/5 less
