Product Description
A choose-your-own-adventure style gamebook that gives the reader a choice of different quests and adventures. The book is open-ended and provides an almost unlimited number of plot lines. You can be a warrior, explorer, priest, wizard, thief or bard. The books in the series are inter-connected, allowing you to travel all across the Fabled Lands. In this second volume of the series, you adventure in a land of faerie magic, folklore and bucolic whimsy.

Have the original releases of all of these books and they are nothing short of phenomenal. Collect all the books and you have a fantasy world of gigantic proportions and amazing depth. There are many different classes and quests as well as huge areas to explore ships to buy and many ports to trade at. Set up a stall in Aku market or join the ranks of the nobility, kill dragons and many other monsters. Use magic, charisma and a variety of other skill to achieve your goals.
The books are written in such a way that you imagination can really take over and fill in the details of the world so the adventures will be unique for everyone. I first played these books when they were first released back in the mid nineties and over the years I have gone back and played them many times over as have my siblings. The books are well worn from use and I will be purchasing them now for a second time and all going well the full series will be published this time.
I can highly recommend these book for anyone who likes RPG games, and if you've tried games books before start here with the very pinnacle of the genre.

I bought these re-issues to add support to the possiblity of books 7-12 being published at some point in the future.
Fabled Lands may not quite be my favourite gamebook series (Steve Jackson's Sorcery gets that honour)but these books have so much replayability and the authors know every trick in the (game)book. They write with a gentle humour but always treat the fantasy seriously. The books are steeped in atmosphere and the interactive element is incredibly high; fancy just taking to the seas and being a merchant? No problem at all.
For anyone who has never played a gamebook before I would recommend this series with the only "blip" being that you might find it frustrating not owning Book 2 from the outset.
Books 3 and 4 are both superb but significantly tougher than the earlier books; think of them like levels in a computer games - if the game didn't get tougher you'd get bored anyway.

This is not your regular single player adventure game book. It's a unique book that allows you to play multiple quests, but also trade, own a house and (if you're lucky) even a ship. You can rob or charm the characters you meet. Yet the game is still easy to understand and play. Each book in the series describes a separate section of the game world so the more books you own the larger your play world. But since each book is self-contained you don't need to buy more if you don't want to.
The Fabled Lands series is highly recommended for anyone who likes single player role playing games and is tired of PC games.
