   From the previous book, I have read this book and its prequel no less than twice. It is one of my favorite rule-based fantasy novels. Currently, the rating of this book is falsely low. I actually feel it is definitely above 9 points. Highly recommended. The plot is compact, the game design is exquisite, and the world view is complete. Come on, author!!
