It explains some things left out of the movie. I enjoyed it but would probably read it before watching the movie
Totally enjoyed the coming of age story from one of my favorite thieves. Loved learning more about Skif and how he his world views were shaped.
I enjoy the novel every time I read it, even though it is somewhat like a D&D session. The various characters and personalities make it a great read.
I liked the story and found it quite interesting. You definitely can see the Dungeons and Dragons rules underneath but this does not distract from the story. I enjoyed the characters good and evil and their growth and interactions.
Interesting story and character. I enjoyed the world and how everyone interacted with each. Was surprised in the end. Nice lead into the next book

It was Okay. Even though it kept my me somewhat entertained the writing was stilted and heavy handed. I skimmed some parts because of this. 
Even though we'll written I find that it is always hard for me to finish this book. I find it slow and ponderous and have no reason it or read others in the same series. Probably stems from the characters which I am never invested in. I figure after reading 3 Times I will just give up on the series.
