Alice in Waterdeep
I was very disappointed by this novella. It started out quite intriguing but it didn't take too long for it to become very... "meh". I'm not sure how else to express it. The story throws all the Weird Things at the wall to supposedly create a sense of mystery, but I didn't find this mysterious at all (I am personally a bit tired of the trite "mystery" being "husband abuses wife, read more to find out exactly how!"), and I really dislike it when there's little to no payoff for all the weirdness.
A biblical retelling, really? That's all this was?
