A review by krichardson
Dark Lord of Derkholm by Diana Wynne Jones

2.0

This felt like when someone you barely know tells you about the stress dream they had last night. There are so many characters you barely get to know any of them even by the end, the rules are completely made up and seem to change at random, and the plot is really just one long to-do list. The potential was there, the characters are interesting and the actual main conflict had a lot of potential, but the execution just wasn't for me.
