Fun for D&D fans and leaves you wanting more

As a Dungeons & Dragons player, this is my personal favorite of the T H Lain novels. It follows Regdar the Fighter, and Naull the Wizard from Book 1: The Savage Caves, and also introduces Alhandra the Paladin, and Krusk the Barbarian. Together, they attempt to foil the plot of an evil Blackguard and her band of Gnolls (Hyena People).

Story 4/5: For fans of D&D the story flows like a campaign. Sometimes that makes things predictable, but there are enough surprises to keep things interesting and I was pleasantly surprised by the high stakes ending, especially for one of the characters.

Writing 3/5: Probably the weakest part of the book, it's not Shakespeare nor is it trying to be. For better or worse, the syntax is modern, making it a fast listen/read.

Characters 5/5: Seeing the characters interacting with each other is my favorite part of these books. It reminds me of the banter at my own D&D table. Each character has their own personality and play to their game's alignment perfectly. My favorite scene *SPOILERS* --
was Naull reacting with horror when she saw Krusk carving off the ears of the Gnolls he had slain.

City of Fire

With a somewhat clunky beginning, City of Fire became an enjoyable listen despite some of the flaws in the narrative - which I think is just part of the writing style in fantasy of this time period. The characters are believable, though I found Krusk to be less enjoyable and minimally developed as a character. The paladin as well struggled with these same issues but since they were brought in as the story was developing, that makes sense.
