| LC Cataloging in Publication Summary: | As Lifin, a young elf, the reader makes decisions controlling his search through the five Forbidden Towers for the herb that will cure his people of the elven plague. |
| Demian's Thoughts: |
For such a short book, this one does an excellent job of giving the reader a sense of exploration. This thorough development of the Forbidden Towers is made possible by the inclusion of only one victorious ending and lots of linking between towers. A lot of thought seems to have gone into the design, and the ultimate result is very satisfying. |
| Dtar's Thoughts: |
This is one of my favorite gamebooks, mainly because of the clever way that each of the towers contains a sort of mini adventure, and how they all fit together in the end. |
| Special Thanks: | Thanks to Ken G. for the reissue cover scans. |
