This was a fun book! A story of 4 NPCs residing in the town of Maplebark are thrust into adventure not by their own choice. Soon their party starts to gain much needed experience in the ways of adventuring and the plot thickens. 
 The book was entertaining and kept the plot going at an even pace. The characters are not your usual stereotypes and you will realise this if you've ever played any RPGs, tabletop or videogames. The characters have some depth and I am guessing book 2 will probably flesh them out further. 
 Overall, fun book to read and easy to recommend to any RPG fan!
