I read the reviews before I started reading this book. Some say they didn't like to see some of the characters die at the end of the book. I would like to point out that this book seems to focus on the life of a man called Praz. So the real question here is the developement of this character, and the death of the other characters didn't bother me at all. In fact it surprised me in a positive way. I have read so many titles where almost all of the heroes and their companions survive at the end. This was like a breeze of fresh air. I read this title in one session and recommend it to everyone. Even to those who have never heard of the world of Might&Magic.
