It has so many elements that we love from other great series: the brutality, huge battles, evil characters we love to hate, strong female characters and politics of Game of Thrones … exciting subadventures and likable personalities from The Legend of Drizzt and Dragonlance Chronicles … and unpredictability from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. But it has more … It includes a plethora of new species such as snake men, reptilians, insect monsters, bat men, a giant centipede, a cross between a man and Pegasus and a host of other creative characters.
