So much of this book informed my own writing. My second favorite FF title.

Lacks the lightning-in-a-bottle-spirit of the first Fighting Fantasy book, comes too early in the series for Jackson to have worked out best practice. Full review: https://refereeingandreflection.wordpress.com/2018/11/01/the-reading-canary-fighting-fantasy-part-1/

I used to love fighting fantasy books as a child, so when I visited my old childhood home and was perusing a cupboard with lots of my old things, I was very excited to find these books.
This was a quick, fun adventure book and it has so many different paths and choices so you can read it multiple times. I don't read it and play properly with dice, so maybe I'm a cheater. But either way I really enjoyed going back and doing this again. I will definitely be playing/reading the rest too.
