This is the ultra-prolific #AdrianTchaivovsky in throwaway, goof-off mode, built around a pastiche of a D&D adventure, complete with anachronistic dialogue and lore ripped straight out of Tolkien and not much disguised in the process. Of course Tchaivovsky doesn't play things straight, and the adventurers have to confront the realisation that even when the Dark Lord of the day genuinely deserves to be defeated, moral lines are not always so easy to draw beyond that. Not the book you'd recommend to convince someone that Tchaivovsky is capable of greatness, but very fun. @bookstodon #Bookstodon
