Oh yeah, the protagonist is also a brain-dead barbarian who you will not want to root for. Ah dammit every page of the book was pure mental torture. I felt sorry for the trees that died for this literary abomination. For those repressed teenage fanboys, there is a brief lesbian scene between Imoen and Phaere, but trust me that doesn't warrant that you should buy this. I can only wonder what the Throne of Baal novel is like.

The main problem is that nothing in the book is based upon the game, except the names of the people and places. I didn't recognise it.
