Yay! I won! It took me a few tries but I accomplished my mission.
This one seemed like it had less to it than the Endless Quest Rogue book. But I liked that it put you in the guise of a dwarven cleric. That‰ЫЄs a little more off the beaten path than a halfling rogue.
Maybe I don‰ЫЄt remember the old Endless Quest books as well as I think, but these don‰ЫЄt seem to have as much of a story - or maybe for a younger group. Though - just like in many Choose Your Own Adventure Books - most of the failed endings find you dying.
Thanks to NetGalley and Candlewick Press for a copy in return for an honest review.

It was a cute little book, but I wasn't all that into it. I got a good ending my first try without ever needing to fight anything so either I just play real smart or it just isn't that hard to get a good ending. This is absolutely appropriate for any age, though, so all power to giving these to people as a gift.
