The world-building of this fantasy novel has the feel of a table top roleplaying campaign. (A really good roleplaying campaign though, by a game master who is not reading out loud from the module.) This is not necessarily a bad thing, but it is also not a good thing either. It is not a bad thing because the writer plays around with a lot of fantasy genre tropes, and the characters are fun and engaging, even if you find yourself trying to estimate their statistics. It is not a good thing because the stiff “Dungeons and Dragons” plug-and-play theology and mythology occasionally gets in the way of what is otherwise a very solid, action-adventure fantasy. Decided to review the series, since there should be a new book out soon.
