Crypt of the Sorcerer by Les Edwards, John Sibbick, Ian Livingstone

3.0

Has been a while since I've read a Fighting Fantasy game book and I enjoyed my trip through Allansia. The story is standard fantasy fare - you must find a magic sword by the Lost Lake and then seek out and kill a Necromancer with the sword. Alas, I was killed by a Barbarian girl on a Griffin before I could reach the Lost Lake!
I'm a fan of FF books and love the art. Despite the books being aimed at kids (I guess) they never hold back on grisly detail. I enjoy finding items which have a number associated with them, such as in the words of a spell. These items can only be used if you know the number as that is the paragraph you need to turn to. This is cool and removes the urge to cheat! :-)
Good book, but not the best FF book I've played.
