While the book was still enjoyable， it is a little disappointing compared to the first book。 One thing that was definitely improved was the extra clarity of the combat rules， but， that could be because I was more familiar with them。 One thing I didn’t enjoy as much about this book is it’s difficulty。 There’s an entire stretch of the book where， if you don’t have one item， it’s almost impossible to get through。 I died three times as much as I did in the first book。 The story at the end is also a While the book was still enjoyable， it is a little disappointing compared to the first book。 One thing that was definitely improved was the extra clarity of the combat rules， but， that could be because I was more familiar with them。 One thing I didn’t enjoy as much about this book is it’s difficulty。 There’s an entire stretch of the book where， if you don’t have one item， it’s almost impossible to get through。 I died three times as much as I did in the first book。 The story at the end is also a little disappointing， but I still enjoyed it and would recommend it to anyone already interested in the book。 。。。more

More choices from the start would have helped on this one。 But overall I loved taking the adventure on the water nad setting forth with a continuation of the hero's journey。 The artwork is nostalgic。 The protagonist is mostly blank， but I don't tend to notice as I read。 More choices from the start would have helped on this one。 But overall I loved taking the adventure on the water nad setting forth with a continuation of the hero's journey。 The artwork is nostalgic。 The protagonist is mostly blank， but I don't tend to notice as I read。 。。。more

Enjoyed this second outing just as much as the first one。 Felt a bit longer with more dead ends but that just made me more eager to discover the correct path。

Off to Find the Weapon16 Feb 2022 - AdelaidetThis is basically the direct sequel in that in the first book you reach the king who gives you a quest to go and locate the Summerswerd， and in this book， you make the trek to the neighbouring kingdom of Durenor to obtain the sword。 You basically have forty days to complete the mission， namely because that is how long Holmgard can hold out against the Darklords’ army。 So， you pretty much begin in the throne room （or presence-chamber， whatever you want Off to Find the Weapon16 Feb 2022 - AdelaidetThis is basically the direct sequel in that in the first book you reach the king who gives you a quest to go and locate the Summerswerd， and in this book， you make the trek to the neighbouring kingdom of Durenor to obtain the sword。 You basically have forty days to complete the mission， namely because that is how long Holmgard can hold out against the Darklords’ army。 So， you pretty much begin in the throne room （or presence-chamber， whatever you want to refer to it as） and go from there。tLike the first book， this book is fairly straightforward， though it is a little deadlier。 In fact， some of the deaths come about due to a random chance， such as when the ship you happen to be on hits a rough patch and a mast falls on top of you。 The other thing is don’t become too attached to your gold， or your items， because they disappear as well。 Okay， there is a choice between losing the contents of your backpack， and your armour， or losing pretty much everything， so you can sort of work out which is the best way to go。 The other way is a choice between losing all of your gold or having to fight an impossibly difficult battle， so you can sort of guess what the best choice here is as well。 Other than that， most of the choices that you make （as long as they lead you closer to your destination）， are moot。tActually， these books that sort of have multiple ways through have their benefits， though the problem is that they tend to result in you reading them through rather quickly （something that I sort of appreciate）。 In a way， it seems to be focused more on developing your character， and choosing which combats to fight as opposed to making sure that you take the correct path through to the end。tThen there are the disciplines。 I suspect you are supposed to keep the ones that you took in the previous book， and the two important ones from the previous book are just as important in this one as well。 Mind you， I wonder how many people changed the skills that they had at the beginning， especially since they discover that a discipline they didn’t include is vitally important in this book （namely Animal Empathy）。 However， if you had completed the first book， you do get an extra discipline， so there is that。tYeah， this one wasn’t bad， especially since Hammerdal is a city located in the centre of a cluster of mountains， and the only way to get to it is through tunnels。 I guess that means if bad things happen， they just collapse the tunnels， but the problem is that when they collapse the tunnels then that would have its benefits， and its drawbacks， such as pretty much sealing itself off from the rest of the world， which means that I hope they have enough stores to keep them set for a very long time， as well as a decent water source as well。tAs I said， I liked it， though it certainly isn’t a hallmark of literature， but then again it isn’t supposed to be。 。。。more

A great sequel to Flight from the Dark。 You are the last Kai Lord。 The King has asked you to go on a mission to find the Sommerswerd， the sword of the sun。 Hoping it will help turn the tide against the dark lord。 A great fantasy series in a Choose Your Own Adventure type of book。 Again the artwork is amazing。

Joe Dever's Lone Wolf gamebooks were a consistent presence during my formative years and have had a big influence on my reading and gaming interests。 I first started reading them in 1989 and continued to do so until 1999。 With the resurgence of new Lone Wolf material in recent years， I've decided to revisit these nostalgic gems of my youth。Book 2: Fire on the Water（published 1984， first read 1989） Story: 5/5Game: 3/5Replayability: 3/5 Joe Dever's Lone Wolf gamebooks were a consistent presence during my formative years and have had a big influence on my reading and gaming interests。 I first started reading them in 1989 and continued to do so until 1999。 With the resurgence of new Lone Wolf material in recent years， I've decided to revisit these nostalgic gems of my youth。Book 2: Fire on the Water（published 1984， first read 1989） Story: 5/5Game: 3/5Replayability: 3/5 。。。more

Make sure Animal Kinship is one of your disciplines for this one。 Trust me。Or， if you prefer: Your vision blurs momentarily until you’re seeing the image of a middle-aged man shrouded in the green cloak of a Kai Lord。 To your surprise， you notice that a fairly large rodent is cradled in his arms。 He glances up at you and winks as the vision fades， and you’re left with a lingering desire to learn the Animal Kinship discipline before your next adventure。

Il libro due di Lupo Solitario， quello che sulla carta sembrava essere quello più adatto al sottoscritto， non è stato certamente all'altezza delle mie aspettative。Pensavo che il racconto per mare di questo viaggio fosse qualcosa di più profondo， ma invece sono rimasto leggermente deluso。 Se il primo volume è infatti una sorta di tutorial per la saga， che insegna come giocare al lettore， questo secondo volume è una prima avventura senza briglie， che tuttavia non riesce a trasmettere appieno il se Il libro due di Lupo Solitario， quello che sulla carta sembrava essere quello più adatto al sottoscritto， non è stato certamente all'altezza delle mie aspettative。Pensavo che il racconto per mare di questo viaggio fosse qualcosa di più profondo， ma invece sono rimasto leggermente deluso。 Se il primo volume è infatti una sorta di tutorial per la saga， che insegna come giocare al lettore， questo secondo volume è una prima avventura senza briglie， che tuttavia non riesce a trasmettere appieno il senso di libertà e di scelta che si avvertirà già dal terzo volume。Alcuni tratti della lettura sono a mio avviso un po' troppo confusionari e danno al lettore il senso di non essere libero di scegliere la strada da prendere。 Anche se ovviamente， questo sentore si estende solo in una piccola parte della lettura， ma è sufficiente a non far nascere la voglia di rilettura tipica di queste narrazioni。 。。。more

Lone wolf journeys to obtain the Sommerswerd from a neighbouring kingdom - a mixture of overland and boat travel， culminating in a final battle where your foe manages to escape at the last minute。

Re-read the first book and got to the second。 Thisone was longer then the first and I actually got to a dead end as there is need for a specific route to be able to finish the story。 Hmm ;-）I got nocely transported back to my childhoodmemories， with these game books stacked next to our summer cottage bed :-） looking forward to book 3。

The second installment of the Lone Wolf series pits the last of the Kai， Lone Wolf， against the gathering forces which destroyed his order。 Traveling east to recover the "somerswerd，" the fabled artifact that brokered relations between the eastern and western kingdoms， readers will find that the adventure begins perilously quick， and that the relative comforts of having finished the first adventure with additional aid are soon abandoned。 Additional emphasis on following a trail of betrayals will The second installment of the Lone Wolf series pits the last of the Kai， Lone Wolf， against the gathering forces which destroyed his order。 Traveling east to recover the "somerswerd，" the fabled artifact that brokered relations between the eastern and western kingdoms， readers will find that the adventure begins perilously quick， and that the relative comforts of having finished the first adventure with additional aid are soon abandoned。 Additional emphasis on following a trail of betrayals will keep the adept reader hunting， and a particularly difficult phase of this series is deducing who in a traveling party attempts to poison the hero （whereupon Lone Wolf is forced to attack one of the suspects）。 Fire on the Water introduces the concept of magical weapons， challenges and combats that can only be overcome with their usage， and even once provides insight to the reader if they are carrying artifacts from the first adventure。 A great installment with a somewhat overly generic plot device （retrieve a sword capable of slaying a supreme threat）。 。。。more

The pacing is a little bit weird。 The journey takes forever， and then the end seems a bit rushed。 Also， encountered one part that was kind of lame， but good overall。

Con questo secondo volume si comincia a fare sul serio， la trama si sviluppa in più direzioni e si ha davvero la sensazione di vivere una grande avventura con qualcosa da scoprire dietro ogni angolo。Le scelte da compiere sono tante e ci ritroveremo a sventare complotti， combattere pirati e chissà cos'altro， gli scenari tanti e sempre diversi。Il sistema di gioco continua a funzionare e la difficoltà è ben bilanciata。 Con questo secondo volume si comincia a fare sul serio， la trama si sviluppa in più direzioni e si ha davvero la sensazione di vivere una grande avventura con qualcosa da scoprire dietro ogni angolo。Le scelte da compiere sono tante e ci ritroveremo a sventare complotti， combattere pirati e chissà cos'altro， gli scenari tanti e sempre diversi。Il sistema di gioco continua a funzionare e la difficoltà è ben bilanciata。 。。。more

Not as good one as the first book， especially the ending。 Still I think found my new favourite genre， compared to Dungeons and dragons。
