Spending countless hours playing the video game series left me wanting to know more about the events that had occurred in The Elder Scrolls timeline. Secondly, I wanted to discover the world in more detail. This novel was much more fun and exciting to read than I had originally thought. The novel at start maybe confusing to many readers due to the fact that some background knowledge about the series is required. The author does not go into detail about the many races nor the territories of Tamriel as it should be known to the reader beforehand. The novel has many references to the events and characters of the video game series, which in turn made the novel much more enjoyable. In conclusion, the book was a great read and I cannot wait for the sequel. This novel was one of those novels that I just could not put down for a second. I recommend this to anyone who wants to know more about the series as I did. P.S. If Bethesda were to make a video game adaptation of this novel, I would buy it on day one.
