Vastly improved artwork compared to Volume 1. Unfortunately the story felt even more generic. The Pathfinder RPG additions were great again so I can recommend it to Pathfinder GMs running Rise of the Runelords but not really to anyone else.

Jim Zub does it again and produces a well done adventure well within the confines of the Pathfinder RPG system. I don't know how well this series would go over with non-RPG folks as some of the stuff is a little specific but I think Zub keeps it general enough that anyone who enjoys a good, old fashioned, sword and sorcery storyline would quickly find themselves hooked.

The dragon plot is fairly generic, but I enjoyed that there was more character development. The change in art styles was a bit jarring at times, particularly when it happened mid-volume. It's a fun series so far though for a little background on the iconics. 3.5 largely because I really enjoy how Zub integrates the pathfinder system into the story. The way magic in particular is used, but also just wording of specific abilities is a fun touch.

I didn't think this was as strong of an entry as the 1st volume, not as tight of a overarching story, I also didn't think the action was as well done, though there is a fight with a dragon which was quite cool!
