The good
-
Fun new universe with cool villains called the Dark Ones.
-
A few interesting characters, especially Ingold the wizard.
-
Decent action and adventure.
The not so good
-
Magic without rules or constraints. Too much deus ex machina.
-
A few fantasy tropes that have gotten a bit boring: the wizard with a staff, the long journey, the “there are no coincidences” thing, etc.
