The story line was amazing, as were the graphics. (0 more)
After a while it got repetitive, you get on a horse, you ride somewhere, you do a quest, you go home. (0 more)

The advanced quest was a step beyond the "newb-friendly" Hero Quest. Dice rolling was made more complex, and the quests became more arduous. This was a step too far and possibly put me off a career in D&D for life, after the gentle, easy to follow rules of the original. The added rules and complexity took away from the enjoyment for me, but then I was only about 11 at the time...

Superb pacing and storytelling
This story follows the plight of Tungdil, a dwarf who was found by humans as a baby and has never seen another dwarf. He works as blacksmith for a wizard, but soon becomes embroiled in a quest to win the battle for the world.
From very early on, this turns into a journey novel, where he starts off alone with a simple journey and task to achieve and gradually meets people who join him along the way. Once he is reunited with the rest of the dwarves he finds he has been set up as a rival to the king of one of the tribes and has to go on a quest to prove his worth. At this point, knowing there were 4 follow-up books, I feared this quest was going to be drawn out over the 5 books and what had been a decent paced novel up to then would suddenly falter (see Wheel of Time series!). However, without spoilers, the quest is completed within this book. Such an epic quest in a little over 700 pages is testament to Heitz's pacing and ability to keep the story on track. Despite the scale of the quest, he isn't afraid to jump days or dozens of miles to keep to the important events of the story.
I really enjoyed the character development, in all of the dwarves and the cast of other races and creeds introduced along the way, and found the story to be truly gripping and enjoyable.

"The trumpeter Lee Morgan was awesome. So many of those '60s jazz players were obviously on a quest for some higher realization, some great truth, and that's what I love about music."
