Top Condition, Great Book!

I very much enjoyed this as the first book in my collection of Fighting Fantasy. The Book was good fun, pretty much addictive. It arrived it supreme condition, to which I was thoroughly pleased. Thank you!

very fun

I sat down on Friday night to read this book and I was very amused. It was an incredibly fun experience, and the course of the adventure held my attention. There were lots of amusing scenes and twists and turns in the plot line. At this point, after having read this gamebook, I plan to read all the books in the series. I wished that there would be a massive return of gamebooks of the 80's. These really are enjoyable.

A classic of the FF series and mythology. A must have!

This fifth title in the series, along with Warlock of Firetop Mountain(1), Forest of Doom(3) and Deathtrap Dungeon(6), helps form the bedrock of the Fighting Fantasy world of Allansia. The sense of being in a wild, dangerous, exotic city filled with adventure is very well described by Livingstone. One cool aspect is that many later books in the series refer to Port Blacksand and it's dark denizens in passing. It gives a nice sense of continuity and familiarity with the FF world to be able to say, 'Yeah, I know. I've been there.'Anyway, this is a must-have if you really want to have a good sense of the world-building that Livingstone and Jackson were doing with this series. Plus it's just a crackling good adventure!Adrian

Great book in a good series

I was about elleven when i read this book. It took me a while because I always had to look up words in the vocabulary! But that reading experience was awsome, up there with the Lord of the Rings. It is very hard and challenging too, not one of these walk-through Fighting Fantasy. Give it a try!
