Series: Greyhawk Adventures Vol. 4, Mika Trilogy Vol. 2
So the second volume of the Mika Trilogy, which has replaced the Gord the Rogue novels in the official Greyhawk publications continues the story last seen in Master Wolf earlier in 1987. Frankly it's an improvement on the previous installment. The book chugs along nicely and the ending doesn't feel as rushed as it did in the previous volume, leaving space for a concluding book in the trilogy.
Mika is a cool character, there are some good secondary characters added here, particularly Lotus Flower and the development of a slightly freaky love triangle between Mika, his wolf and the princess from the previous book which has been cursed into wolf form add quite a bit to the book's interest.
Still not a great novel or any kind of classic, but it is engaging, has a good main character and while the villains are still pretty much two-dimensional I hope the third volume will fix that. All said, it was a fun read.
TL;DR: 6/10
