Reviews

[Tres Herndon · Rating 2 out of 5]

Only for hardcore Elder Scrolls nerds. A little scattershot in its organization (or lack thereof). Great illustrations. The prose stories/snippets in the second half were the best part.

[David Gardtman · Rating 2 out of 5]

Text-only review (the book is probably more enjoyable with the illustrations):

The only stories I would recommend from this collection is the "Death blow of Abernanit" and "Vernaccus and Bourlor". The rest aren't neccessarily bad, but kind of boring reads in my opinion.

[L.A. · Rating 5 out of 5]

A short but enjoyable read if you love the lore of Tamriel.
