A different LirRPG. The plot us much more involved than others of its genre. This book was a great surprise! Well worth the cost of money and time. Brain Candy!
I highly recommend.

Good book but absolute great ending

Boy let me tell you the last hundred pages are so good. God they were amazing. In saying that let me go ahead and warn you do not skip ahead to read them before you get to them in order or you will be scratching your head. This author does a wondrous job building upon a story and I really, really love it.
