Guillermo's Thoughts:

This Dungeons and Dragons-style adventure suffers from many of the same flaws that plague all other works by Barlow and Skidmore I have read. It is terribly railroady, with only one path leading to a successful conclusion. At every point, making a single wrong choice will lead to failure, making for a frustrating read. For what it's worth, there are more choices which require the use of logic and reasoning than in other books by these authors; however, most choices are still quite random. There is nothing particularly inspired in the book, and the manga-style artwork is far from impressive. DonĀ“t waste your money on this; a lot of Endless Quest adventures are far superior.
