Review by Chrissi (270900) Rating (8/10) Review
by Chrissi Unfortunately this is all a treacherous plot to get Arutha to a place where he may be killed. Jimmy becomes indispensable and Arutha leads his band of people to a horrible place where they face the Dark Brotherhood, Elves who follow a different path, with their leader the Legendary Murmandamus, (not a nice guy, this). The plot becomes complicated with the realisation that the agency behind all of this is common to both Tsurani history and Midkemia, and an ancient Enemy is trying once again to come back to power. Jimmy is a great character, with both humour and a great ability in his make-up. I can't help but feel that Arutha needed Jimmy to show him in a better light. But it works very well, and you want them to win through. The
sequel is every bit as good as Magician.
(How come you only gave it 8/10 then? Ed.) |
