" Despite the characters spending half their time recounting their past adventures over and over I was still quite confused what was going on because I hadn't read the 2746 books in the series which proceeded this one. If I had done maybe I would have enjoyed it more. It has a couple of interesting characters, a couple of interesting fights, lots and lots of boring characters (probably here to please fans of the earlier books where these characters had stories), lots and lots of exposition. It's all quite generic, probably because it apparently started out as a Dungeons and Dragons game, and implausible even by fantasy standards. But it's not awful - I read it to the end. I might try reading the first in the series so see whether they are improved by correct chronology, but if not I won't bother with the rest. "
