The Game of Sunken Places

(4) YA Norumbegan Quartet series. Gregory and Brian find themselves unwilling participants in a role-playing game, itself a mask for a larger struggle between two supernatural peoples. The writing is lively and often irreverent, and while individual scenes are often dramatically effective, the plot feels too improvised and thus less than suspenseful. Sleator's Interstellar Pig is a much more satisfying tale of high-stakes gaming.
