| Demian's Thoughts: |
This is quite similar to the previous entry in the series, but a bit less satisfying. Once again, setting is left rather abstract, and a variety of gamebook techniques are tried out. This time around, there is more interaction with other human characters, though this is marred by sometimes heavy-handed use of dialect. The bigger problem, though, is the "to be continued" ending, which makes this a less enjoyable read than its predecessor -- a super-short gamebook that stands alone feels like a fun mild diversion, but a super-short gamebook that ends with a cliffhanger just feels unfinished. Perhaps when the rest of the story is written and available, it will help to justify this adventure, but until that time, it's probably better to wait and read something else instead. |
