[QUOTE="GreyLord, post: 7764340, member: 4348"] I got all four when they were released and I have read them. They are not as good as the early Endless quests written by Estes, and not quite as free to do as you wish as some of the other Endless quests, but they aren't terrible either. The are FAR better than the Choose your Own Adventure books. I'd compare them to some of the weaker Endless quest books in the old line. Similar to Spell of the Winter Wizard or Light on Quest Mountain in the level or reading and enjoyability. For positives and negatives... Negatives first... The main problem I have is how contrived some of the situations are. At times it seems entirely arbitrary. You stand here and kill this guy and Demogorgan makes you go crazy. You stand in the same place and hide and Demogorgan laughs at you and you escape. The freedom and logic sometimes don't follow. For example, you go this direction and the birdmen save you, but if you go and do this in the same place they don't. Why? Who knows. On the Positive side... AS far as anything with solo adventures coming out today, these are far superior to just about anything else coming out. They feel like D&D and even if the art is reutilized (though I think some of it is actually new) it matches with the feel of the story and is actually terrific. The artwork used in these Endless quests beat anything used in the old series hands down. Adding: In comparison of the positives and negatives...so you know which side of the coin I lie, if he writes anymore of these Endless Quest books and they are released I will snatch them up the moment they are released.
