I originally read this book in the nineties and this time I still enjoyed it but now I've taken a more critical evaluation of the changeover in the series with the death of Carl and the transition to more emphasis on the other characters. This story is told from Walter's perspective, and I still like that the story involves the remaining main original characters, but the story seemed a little rushed to me. They happened to go to the right places at the right time to learn, see,what they need to...more
And here the author doesn't know well enough to know to let a world and characters go. This book continues where the last REAL Guardians of the Flame left off. Now the author takes the viewpoint of another popular character and you get to see things thru his eyes. But this book seems to be mired in the muck.

I was very startled to discover that Rosenberg got his mojo back in this book, after several declining books in a row.
He picks a new leading character in Walter and gives up a deep and interesting look at the character. Besides that, the plotline is interesting and the ending startling — with some wackiness that goes beyond what most fantasies are willing to offer up.
It does meander a bit too much and there's overall too much navel-gazing, but it was still an enjoyable and very readable book.

The Guardians of the Flame series really heats up with book 6 - The Road to Ehvenor. The focus switches to Walter - a cunning stealthy character that lives by wits rather than brute force and the book is better by that decision.
Interesting, page-turner and fun, this book really delivers.

Great uncle
Rosenberg does much better this time. With a wolf fight and a bunch of crazy locations (such as the place where trees bleed) it's AWESOME!!
a great tale from the d and d era
Not quite as good as the first trilogy.
