5.0 out of 5 stars A worthy successor to the classic Theseus, Jan 31 2004

This review is from: Pages Of Pain (Hardcover)

I think that if one simply removed the planescape logo and offered this as the Modern Theseus, it would have been more widely read.

This is an amazing book. I wouldn't go so far as to call it a classic, but rather a modern myth for modern times. The story's narration was excellent, and the ending wasn't necessarily shocking and instead more akin to a tragedy in which you know what will happen but are enthralled anyway.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bloody Brilliant, Jan 16 2003

Denning's work on this book is marvelous. It rights it as if you are almost the Hero himself. When he's thirsty and exhausted, you feel thirsty and exhausted. And then the Lady of Pain talks to you. Which only makes the feel of the book more personal. I HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone that likes mythology, or fantasy, etc. Great job Mr. Denning!

5.0 out of 5 stars The best TSR ever., Feb 19 2002

By

"gweinel" (Thessaloniki, Macedonia Greece) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Pages Of Pain (Hardcover)

This book is the best TSR novel ever produced. It is not for the little teens that are reading Forgotten Realms... It's probably the most mature role playing ever written. If you are a fan of Planescape or you like good fantasy then go and buy it.

2.0 out of 5 stars Another Denning Disappointment
Once again Troy Denning shows us that he can take a great campaign setting and utterly destroy it. ... the first half was great, a very good adventrue type novel. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Half good.
Precisely that. The first half is good. The second half, whilst in the maze, is bad. I got so sick of the pointless wandering about that I skipped ahead to the ending. Read more
