Reception.
In the "Io9" series revisiting older "Dungeons & Dragons" novels, Rob Bricken commented that "This book is "terrible". It's the sort of top-to-bottom awfulness I expected to encounter when I started looking back at these D&D novels but then forgot about after I was lulled into a false sense of security by nominal competency of the first few books."
