While highly regarded and nostalgic, if you've played dungeoncrawling games, this adventure is bog-standard, not as interesting as the Fabled series. For young kids not familiar with CYOA and dungeoncrawl books, Warlock is an okay book to begin with. The adventure does have a maze, which readers may find frustrating, so, when you get there, download any of the fanmade maps others have made. You do have combat, but combat doesn't add to the adventure. You just start over, and repeat your choices, skipping the unhelpful ones. Better to just cheat your way through the book, opening doors and finding out what's there!
