You are the main character of this story, and you have a lot of difficult decisions to make as you kick yourself for the foolish choice made that is putting your life on the line. Your unsuccessful attempt at thieving will only be forgiven if you risk your life to complete a task for Lord Silverhand, which means tracking down other thieves—thieves that you have been avoiding until now.

Choose your own adventure books are the video games of literature, and some stories lines are more exciting than others. This book was not as engaging as others that I’ve read by Forbeck, mostly because the endings did not feel as satisfying to me. It was still fun, but I suggest going on some of his other adventures, too.
