In the Lair of Legends is quite the adventurous romp. After just a bit of setup covering the setting and the main character Winterhawk's odd position in it, the story plunges into a twisting chain of run-on crises that might freak out even Indiana Jones. All told through Winterhawk's relatively stoic but relatable point-of-view (third-person limited POV), the result was a most fun read I wouldn't mind seeing more of in the future.

One note for those starting out on this one: Winterhawk does have a bit of an inner dialog going on that's kinda fun at times but also feels almost schizophrenic; turns out there's an interesting reason for that, too, just not one that's explained right away. It in the meantime, just enjoy it. I did.
