Why read it?
1 author picked Swords in the Mist as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This was another classic story that I wanted to read as I had heard so much about it, I’d even read a graphic novel that was an adaptation of a story in the same series and loved it. I finally got my hands on the book and was not disappointed.
The story mixes eldritch horror with fantasy, and I am transported to that world and immersed! Never mind that it introduced one of my favorite D&D settings, Lahnkmar: The City of Thieves.
From JP's list on books to read in a dungeon.
