3.0 out of 5 stars Adequate, mostly due to the setting rather than the author, Aug 19 2003

This review is from: Scarred Lands: Forsaken (Mass Market Paperback)
This is not great literature. It's not even good literature. Byers is a writer of extremely limited ability, but he does at least obey the one rule which every bad fantasy writer should heed: if you can't write, and you know it, you should endeavor to keep the action moving and the story very short. The only things that keep this book and its two companion volumes from being utterly dismal are the fact that it's set in the Scarred Lands, the most compelling D&D campaign world seen in years, and that the pace never slows, thus preventing you from dwelling on the quality of the book itself.

For what it is, which is essentially fan-fiction-for-hire, it's not bad. It's humble, it lacks bombast, and it's nothing more than a low-end junk-food read, but then again, it never pretends to be anything else. I would recommend this only if you, like me, intend to run a Scarred Lands game, and you want a fair impression of the overall "feel" of the Scarred Lands.

This review is from: Scarred Lands: Forsaken (Mass Market Paperback)
This book is very interesting and draws the reader into the world of The Scarred Lands. Not only is the book full of great storyline and plot that keeps you running the gambit to find out just what is going to happen on the next page. Is That Which Abides going to be resurected? This book draws you in to asking that same question over and over again. It's a tomenting exstacy that is in all great books. Basically, There is a forsaken elf priest who wishes to revive his slain god. Those who know about D&D and Sword & sorcery will enjoy reading how game terms play out in a beautiful dance, and fantasy readers will find a great plot with numerous twists and turns. But i warn you now. don't attempt to get this book unless you are willing to read the rest of the trilogy. It's addictive!
