good 4.00

They found the book engaging with well-written action, though some parts felt a bit over the top. The story kept them hooked throughout.

The reviewer enjoyed the book, particularly the action sequences which were well-crafted and exciting. They felt that Malus facing off against a bloodthirster might have pushed the limits a bit, but overall, the story was compelling and kept them engaged. The narrative never felt dull, and the pacing was well-maintained, making it a enjoyable read.

interesting 3.50

They appreciated the quest narrative and the underlying theme that knowledge is more valuable than material wealth.

The reviewer liked the traditional quest structure of the story, finding it familiar yet enjoyable. They particularly appreciated the underlying message that knowledge holds more value than gold and jewels, which added depth to the narrative. While it includes most of the usual plot elements, the focus on the pursuit of knowledge made it stand out.
