The Quest Continues,
This review is from: The Sword and the Chain (Paperback)
The second book in the Guardians of the Flame series returns the reader to the world of Dungeons & Dragons. Karl, Andrea, Ahira, Walter, and Lou are stuck in a strange world in the bodies of the characters they created and played. These friends are bound to this world through a pledge to bring freedom to the world. They made their pledges to save the life of a friend. Now Karl and his friends must wage a war on slavery, fighting against Wizards and the Slaver's Guild. With the aid of the young dragon Ellegon, from the first novel, Karl and his friends start trying to fulfill their promise. The two books in this series that I have read so far have read mostly like you would expect a Dungeons & Dragons adventure to be. The characters have to adapt to the strange world of magic, with only their wits and the instincts of their bodies. There is, of course, the obligatory quest, and plenty of magic and spells. This book is interesting, easy reading. Do not expect many plot intricacies, but do expect to enjoy the developing story of the Guardians of the Flame.

Joel Rosenberg has outdone himself!,
By
This review is from: Guardians Of The Flame 02 Sword And The Chain (Paperback)
I have to say that I was thoroughly impressed with this outing. While most sequels are stale and transparent, Joel Rosenberg manages to take up where The Sleeping Dragon left off and create a mystical tale that keeps the readers attention from the first page to the last.Admittedly, I let out a yelp of joy when Karl announced to the slaver, "Tell you masters that I am hunting them!" It showed a glimmer of what was to come in this series (especially this installment), and it did not disappoint. I won't allow myself to announce any spoilers for those who haven't enjoyed this, but let me say that it was delightfully intriguing when the secret of Deighton was revealed. The implications of this information should have an enormous impact in future volumes.

All the elements,
By A Customer
This review is from: Guardians Of The Flame 02 Sword And The Chain (Paperback)
The sword and the chain has all the elements of an excellent fantasy novel. It's got the heroes, the magic, the villain, the party of good guys, its own private little world with a map included for the characters top romp around in, as well as its' own personal twist (the characters are humans from our world tranformed as they stepped through a gate to another world). My only regret about reading this novel is that I can't seem to find the rest of the series, and am therefore forever stuck in a world of questions and doubt.
