At first I wasn‰ЫЄt really into this story, and I couldn‰ЫЄt tell if, after reading a couple of these already, it had probably lost its novelty or I had lost my nostalgia. But then I kept reading to get to the different endings, and I liked how varied the endings were.
It seemed more than just the one or two ‰ЫПwinning‰Ыќ endings and the rest of them ending in death like I remember a lot of the Choose Your Own Adventure type stories always seemed to.
This may be my favorite one out of the three that were released at the same time.
Worth checking out if you missed the Endless Quest books we had as kids, or like Dungeons & Dragons, or just enjoy interactive books.
Thanks to NetGalley and Candlewick Press for a copy in return for an honest review.

Enjoyable like some of the other Endless Quest books, this one vaguely follows the narrative of Storm King's Thunder.
There is an early decision in this book, which greatly changes what will happen in your story, either going to save your mother and brother, or go after your father. Depending which direction you chose, it dictates which giants and challenges you face. At least with saving your mother and brother, there wasn't a path I could find that then led back to finding your father.
This means there is a LOT of variety in this story. I also quite liked playing a magic user, as it gave what felt like more varied options to choose from.
The artwork in this, like all the new Endless Quest books is excellent. Overall a fun read.

I don't really know what to say besides if you enjoy this type of book you'll want to pick this up. It's very fun, more fun than the Cleric one. I haven't picked up Rogue and Fighter, though as soon as I can I'll be doing so. My husband and I read these on a long road trip and I 100% suggest something like that. It's a blast.

It has been ages since I've read a Choose Your Own Adventure type story, and I have to say that these D&D ones are great fun and made me feel like a kid again. I would absolutely recommend all of them to Dungeons and Dragons fans but also to those who want to experience the nostalgia of the CYOA books you loved as a child.

This was a good, quick read. I've started playing Dungeons and Dragons, and this book lets the reader choose whay path to lead in the adventure. This can be a good introduction to the RPG for younger readers.
