5.0 out of 5 stars Best Lone Wolf adventure yet!, June 13, 2006

"Kingdoms of Terror" is the best Lone Wolf book up to this point. It is the first adventure where you get to start learning Magnakai abilities. Most of these are just like previous skills you learned in the first five books, but with more abilities and different names. You can still use the original abilities and I once fought a monster in this book that said it was immune to "psi-surge" but not to "mind blast." This is the first book where you are able to use a bow.

This book really kicks the rest of the adventures off because you start to look for the lorestones that will help you unlock the power of the Grand Master kai warrior. As you progress through the magnakai books the abilities you have become stronger for each book, so choose wisely which skills you start with. Some of the neat aspects of the first book are expanded upon in the next few books. Truly a classic!

Adventurers must be careful, as I stumbled into a fair number of instant deaths! Good luck!

3.0 out of 5 stars Probably the best of the series, July 28, 2011

By 

Tiggum (Melbourne, Australia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Kingdoms of Terror (Lone Wolf, Book 6) (Paperback)

As a series, the Lone Wolf books tend to have the flaw of carrying too much baggage. The powerful items you pick up in one book carry on to the next, but at the same time each book is supposed to serve as a standalone, leading to a bizarre mix of over- and under-powered items and encounters, making some things absurdly easy and others ridiculously difficult. This book, being the first of the Magnakai adventures, doesn't really suffer from that too much.

It has its faults, and if you play the books through in order then the possession of the Sommerswerd will, as always, vastly skew the difficulty level, but taken on its own, this adventure is pretty well balanced and provides the right level of challenge.

In addition to that, the story is more interesting, involving as it does more relatable elements, such as the warring nations, none of which is all good or all evil, and the quest for a mysterious, magical object hidden away for centuries, which is a story we've all read, seen and played dozens of times.

I'm not sure whether I'd recommend a new reader start out with this book or the first one. I think this is, in every way, a better book, but on the other hand, if you like it and want to read more, you're probably going to want to play through them in order.

5.0 out of 5 stars UN GRAN OLVIDADO, March 8, 2000

Me sorprende que otros lectores no encuentren a este libro al mismo nivel que el numero 2 o al 4. En mi opinion el mayor exito de Dever es la densidad del entorno y como te envuelve en el. Cosa que para mi consigue en este y en los otros dos mencionados.
