He wore Gabriel’s old pack slung over his chest, inside which were the two cubs they’d found on the hillside after the Owlbear was dead. “It was only trying to protect its little ones,” Moog grumbled. The poor creature was … well, it was angry.” “Anyway, I fear killing the beast was our only recourse, Arcandius. “Zombie? Seriously?” Kit shook his head in disgust, but then proffered his right arm, which had been savaged almost to the bone by the enraged owlbear. “I still don’t see why you had to kill it,” said Moog sulkily. “I love you guys,” he said, and gods-be-damned if his voice didn’t sell him out at the end and crack like a boy of twelve summers.”

📖“For a while no one spoke, because in the roundabout course of thirty-some years they had said just about all there was to say to one another, until finally Clay could bear the silence no longer and cleared his throat. So I can understand why this book is so popular, but in the end, it wasn't for me. It lost me a couple of times because of it. I just think that some parts of the book should be shorter. Some battle scenes seemed a bit too long to my taste.I just couldn’t care less about it, I wanted an exciting book climax. It especially showed in the book's finale where we got many moments of just names and basic characteristics.

I read D&D bestiary and it was more fun than these parts of the book.

Pages after pages of plain recitation - names of bands at the festival, monsters in hordes, names of heroes.

Clay Cooper - he is a good character, I liked following him.

Some moments reminded me of my own game experience and it was interesting to read I love situations where characters can't solve a problem the easy way and need to think

Moments when characters used some thinking to solve problems instead of brute force - they always were unexpected, clever, and refreshing.

Humor - some jokes were good, and the sense of irony was amazing throughout the entire book.

The book's synopsis is rather simple - the old band reunites for one last quest. In the end, the book seemed uneven to me, it was sadly an average experience. I enjoyed some parts of Kings of the Wyld but was bored too. ❓Have you read Kings of the Wyld? What do you think about it?įor me, it's an unpopular opinion time. But as a band, they were something more, something perfect in its own intangible way” ⚔“As individuals they were each of them fallible, discordant as notes without harmony.
