Customer Reviews

Excellent Gamebook

Loved this book, I remember reading it years ago. It was my introduction to the realm of fantasy. Even rereading it now was great. A simple combat system that was fun and a very unique magic system. This is highly reccomended to anyone that wants a fun read or wants to introduce someone to basic fantasy gaming. Hope you all get a chance to read it and revel in the nostalgia. :D

it's been years.

i do recall it being a very fun read, however - lone wolfish, but with a bit more class, a bit more taste. i'd like to get my hands on a copy again; mine has long since been lost.

The tour de force of the gamebook genre

As part one of the Sorcery series, this book starts slowly, but grows in stature by the end. Published initially as a boxed set with the Spell Book (which was to be required for all the successive books) but later all books were republished with the spells in the back. A copy of the original set is very rare
