Review of 'Canticle' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

I never read this series as a kid, but I know that the characters are dear to the hearts of many fans. Although the writing can be heavy-handed, Bob sure can create compelling, quirky and interesting characters. They are not very deep, but fun to get to know. Also, he is good at writing action scenes that are unique, but you can still tell what is going on. This book is also fun since it is basically a low level DnD character on his first adventure, a nice break from the god-like shenanigans of Drizzt et alia. Pretty good FR material, this book.
