To be fair...

As a choice reader from childhood and having read most of the choice and hosted games I can say the following.
As more choice games come out the quality has and continues to improve. Thats good. This book while excellent falls just a bit shy of the original Heroes trilogy. On its own its 4 stars perhaps 4.3. Compared to most choice games its a total gem. Worth the cost and the time needed to read it.
