I knew gamebooks were big at one time, but I’m always surprised by the variety that’s out there. Great find as always!

And thanks again for the shoutout!

Hey, great review and thanks for the shoutout.

As you know, I'm in the catergory of really enjoying these books. They are my favourite of the Endless quest spin-offs as they feel much like the original series with a few extra "Kiss him or not?" choices.

Like you, I'd have never considered buying them as a kid, but as an adult (with 3 daughters) my tastes have evolved. Noteably, there is no reference to D&D on the covers. (The quickest way to become unpopular among females was D&D or comic books in the 1980s, in my experience).

I managed to buy the first 4 (with only one torn window), but the last two are prohibitavly expensive (a pity as book 6 is the best in my opinion). And I'm in total agreement that Val Valyusk's renaissaince art really fits the genre.

Great post, keep up the good work, JQ.
