This review is from: The Forge of Virtue (Ultima Saga, No. 1) (Mass Market Paperback)
This is a spinoff of the long-running ULTIMA series of computer games. Unfortunately, it doesn't tie close enough with Ultima mythology to please fans, while at the same time not explaining things well enough for newcomers.

The main characters are all pretty unlikable. One unsympathetic protagonist is fine; four or five turns the book into an exercise in masochism.

There's really very little adventuring. Most of the text is devoted to the same argument rehashed multiple times, or to long, repetitive slogs through the muddy countryside, or to calming the panicky horse yet again.

Avoid this; I don't recommend it.
