About this title

From School Library Journal:

Grade 7-10–Based on the hit role-playing game Fortune Quest, this novel reads like a video game. It follows 16-year-old Duan Surk, a Level 2 fighter; his pet magical lizard; princess Agnis, who is being hunted by an assassin; and the Level 16 fighter, Olba, as they embark on a quest to save Agnis's mother from a curse placed on her by the twin witches, Ogma and Samra. Throughout their quest, the group encounters such mythical creatures as the cyclops, the minotaur, the griffin, and the hydra. The greatest appeal of the novel is the nonstop action. Although the story goes on far too long, it will find an audience among teens who are interested in role-playing games or manga.–Michele Capozzella, Chappaqua Public Library, NY
