[QUOTE="Trickstergod, post: 1744833, member: 10825"] It's interesting to see how advertising backfires at times, or how some products unexpectedly bloom beyond what they were intended to. With that said, the top ten list Wizards has there may as well read as the top ten reasons not to buy the book. It was, in my mind, a simple list of "More of the same, only with the expected ice theme to it," which, while I suppose isn't bad, certainly isn't an advertising point, either. Then it had a chunk of other things that turned me off. I'm in agreement with those who think Snowflake Wardance is just poorly named. If that feat and its name are exemplary of what one might expect in the book, then it's a very sad state of affairs, I must say. Neanderthals also to float my boat, and while penguin familiars might be amusing, it's certainly not the sort of thing that would make me buy a book. So, yeah. That list certainly won't make me buy it by any means. [/QUOTE]
