4.0

Take a standard adventuring party of a rogue, warrior, mage and ranger. Then take a look at how they just happen to be travelling together and what led them to those career choices.

This book does just that - a school for adventurers, introducing the four character classes and the people who enter each academy. It concentrates on one group, all with their own secrets and reasons for joining.

As they are put together they need to work on becoming a team rather than four individuals hoping to make it to Level Two.

The characters are done well, and the story is told in an engaging manner. Slightly predictable in places, but that doesn't detract from a good read that moves along at a solid pace.
