Jeffery Russell

Lighthearted fun joining a Dwarven dungeon crew that shows how a dungeon is solved by profis.
A lot of fun, a lot of puns, sometimes there are even pratchett-like jokes.
Only little drawback from my point of view was that the dwarves all talk in some slang with each other and for a non-native english speaker that was often hard to understand. It takes a bit of the fun away if you need a minute to guess the meaning of some sentences.
Nevertheless that is my personal thing and overall i think i can give the book a recommendation!… (altro)

Clever RPG inspired novel.
