A bit of a mess, this one. I can't say I ever really understood what was going on or why. Got dragged out the kitchen, sent on a quest which just kept on going without relenting or becoming any clearer until I finally found that I had won. There was too much here, it was like being hosed with fighting fantasy, and there were lots of times where you roll a dice and then die. Its pretty hard not to die. In fact, at the end there's a bit where you stand an 80% chance of dying. This book feels like it was edited hard, there seems to be a lot missing and lots of places where there should be exposition but there isn't. Confusing and tricky. ( )
