City of Thieves (Fighting Fantasy)

Product Information

There's not much point in playing these unless you're going to be *mostly* honest, and if you are, they're pretty good fun. Bought this book and couple more of the series to entertain my children while on holiday, we had lovely time reading all together and having our separate adventure sheets.

There is this one really nasty fight towards the end with two moon dogs, which is unavoidable and there is no cheap trick to win it by having a certain item.There feels like there’s a lot going on at all times, and it’s still one of my favorite of the series. But theres enough fans out there that i know one day some wise ass will do this and it will be fucking awesome.

In a lot of fantasy novels I note that the settings are generally black and whiteL the good hero goes out to fight and kill the evil villain. The warren of streets and dilapidated buildings has more character than Firetop Mountain, for example, and you can sense the smells, tastes and hustle and bustle of the place.Though having said that, there's one unwelcome instance where if you stop to do one thing, the book doesn't then allow you the chance to duck down a side alley you had noticed a moment before.
