This book was way better than it had any right to be. The idea of making a book based on a game module seems like it would be too cartoony and gamey, and don't get me wrong it had a few of those moments, but far less cartoony or gamey than I expected.
The set up for how the adventurers got pulled into this situation was interesting. Some may complain that it took too long before they reached the titlular mountain, but I found the banter between the main characters was entertaining and gave me enough time to get attached to the characters before they got into any real danger.
My one complaint is at times the sidekick gave me a little bit of the mary sue overpowered feel. That said, it wasn't enough to detract terribly from my enjoyment.
I want to continue these heroes' journey and read some more books from Paul Kidd in the future.
