A review by drewsof
Baldur's Gate II by Matt Bell

5.0

As ever, this might not be the sort of book that appeals to you if you don’t know the game – but, also as ever, I’d encourage readers who are even a little curious (because they’re intrigued by the hamster and armored man on the cover [Minsc! and Boo!], because they like Bell’s work, because of something else entirely) to pick this up and give it a try. It’s about a videogame, yes – but it’s also about a writer coming to terms with his love of fantasy, of geekery, of the things that formed and molded him into the writer he is today. There’s no shame in writing something fantastical or set in space or full of robots – something it took me quite a while to learn, too. Something I’m maybe still learning. It was nice to see that an author I respect quite a bit is still learning it too and willing to be so honest about it.
Now, about finding a CD-ROM drive…
