Doom can be kinda dull., Oct 9 2011
By P. Macpherson - Published on Amazon.com
Ce commentaire est de: Sete-Ka's Dream Quest: A Paths of Doom Adventure Book (Paperback)
Sete-Ka's Dream Quest by James M. Ward is a 'Paths of Doom' book, which is similar in vein to a Choose Your Own Adventure but with fewer successful endings. The plot follows Sete-Ka, prince of Egypt, whose spirit is being tested by the gods Bast and Set. If he successfully passes he will return to his body as the great future ruler of the land. On your journey you'll encounter undead warriors in the desert, a vengeance fueled sphinx by the Nile, many different deities, mummies, wizards, and snakes. Lots of snakes.Honestly, I didn't read through all the pathways. I got bored. The style of writing reminded me of being in school with a teacher that reiterates the same thing over and over again. The writing isn't really descriptive but it feels like forever between choices. In fact there are 8 full pages before you even get to your first decision. I'm giving this book three stars because though I was bored others might like it. If reading a character debate for three pages (in a 128 page book) about what he should wish for doesn't seem dull to you then this might be to your liking. I will say the author does a good job offering more choices and wasting your time once the path you've chosen is doomed.
The art by Alberto dal Lago is mostly of static characters. It's clear he has talent (just look at Set on the cover!) but the pictures aren't very dynamic as there are rarely backgrounds and hardly any scenes of action. It reminded me of a cleaned up sketch book.
Listmania!
