Review by Johnny


Ok, i will be honest. I had really low expectations from this book, since it is based on a game. To be honest I am rather defensive when it comes from movies that are based on games, and even more at books that are based on movies (Imagine when warcraft comes out, a movie based on a game and book...Yikes) I was surprised. The book was actually very good! The writing was nice and fluid, with enough detail to have a perfect idea of what is going on without being confusing. The action scenes are amazing, intense, fast paced and pretty cool overall. As for the plot of the story, it was also a pleasant surprise. Although more or less you know what is going on (the whole game-based thing) it still manages to maintain a rather interesting story, explaining all bits that require knowledge of the game story, making it an easy read even for someone who had no idea what the hell is Guild Wars. The story by itself was easy going, not particularly surprising but not boring either. I rather enjoyed the book, and i could not let it go until i had finished reading it. I recommend it to everyone that enjoys fantasy novels
