Dungeons & Dragons: To Catch a Thief: An Endless Quest Book

Written by Matt Forbeck

Narrated by Andrea Emmes and Gildart Jackson

When you tried to pick the pocket of a civilar in the night-shrouded streets of Waterdeep, you never thought she’d catch you—and you never dreamed she’d force you into her service. Now you must find the baby griffon stolen by the beholder Xanathar, leader of the city’s powerful Thieves’ Guild. And if you should fail...you can count on spending the rest of your life behind bars, rogue. Welcome to the Forgotten Realms Endless Quest.

You are about to embark on a journey. To where, only you could possibly say. It is not a journey like any you have been on before, where you start at the beginning and continue on a straight course until you reach the end. Instead, you will be presented with many choices along the way. Each time you are faced with one such choice, given to you by your narrator, make your decision from the options that are given and then follow the directions to continue your adventure. Once your quest has come to an end, either favorably or, as I'm afraid in some instances it is foretold, gruesomely, return to the beginning of the track or the last choice and try again.

Reviews for Dungeons & Dragons

[seschend · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

As someone rather invested in Waterdeep as a writer (2 novels, several game supplements) and reader (everything), I was skeptical that Matt Forbeck could make me feel like I was in MY City of Splendors. I'm very glad to say I was wrong and this book swept me along the fog-shrouded streets of the Realms' most fabled of cities.

Matt's characters and scenarios and backdrops are always evocative and draw the reader into the story almost immediately. As someone rather picky about how Forgotten Realms books feel/sound to me, I'm happy to say this book is among the most fun reads I've had in Waterdeep in a long time.

Alas, the Netgalley copy I received for a review failed to allow the branching choices to alter the narrative flow while I read this on my Kindle, so I can't comment on the choose-a-path nature of the story.
