Now that I've written the intro, here is my first proper post.
And its a bit of a downer to be honest.
When The Port Of Peril was published last summer, I took note of all the hulaballu but I didn't exactly rush to the shops to buy it.
I didn't feel any urge to nor did I feel any excitement at the prospect of a new FF book.
Not like in the days of yore when I would instantly devour the latest FF release.
Why is that ?
Partly because I'm not in love with FF anymore or rather not with its present form.
Its the FF of the past that I love.
The bad reviews for POP didn't help either.
I only found it in one bookstore here in Ireland I sat down, browsed through it and put it back on the shelf. And I made a mental note to buy it eventually.
Guess what happened ?
Just the other day, I went back to said bookstore only to find every copy had sold out including the re-prints of the older books.
Must have been a pre-xmas buying surge.
Maybe it was a sign that I wasn't meant to read it.
I just have to accept that I will never feel that old excitement again that I used to get from playing the latest FF book.
I may still get around to playing POP someday and if so, I'll post my review here.
