Review of 'Artifact of Evil (Greyhawk Adventures Novels, Book 2)' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
A big step up from Saga of Old City, entirely lacking the first book's rampant misogyny and casual homophobia. The characters are fun and colorful. Unfortunately, Gary Gygax's second novel suffers badly from the same unfocused narrative, lack of detail, and jumbled, confusing action scenes. It also ends on a massive anticlimax with the heroes having accomplished less than nothing on their adventure. Entertaining enough, but mostly a letdown.
