I really enjoyed the Egil and Nix books from Kemp so I figured I'd give some of his other books a try. First, I read the short stories about this character Erevis Cale in some old Dragon magazines and then started with this book, though it sounds like there are others before this with him in them. When I was young I loved novels set in D&D worlds, but as I got older and older I found them disappointing more often than not. This was pretty good, but definitely didn't blow me away. The characters weren't loveable like Egil and Nix. It's much darker and more serious. I would say this is a step up from the last 4 or 5 D&D/RPG novels I've read in the past 10 years. This first book left things hanging after completing a major part of the story arch, but I'm not sure if I'll ever get back to it to find out what happens.
