The best thing about this episode isn't just the shifting of perspective, it's the obvious thought into which character is best to tell this part of the story. Episode One is from the point of view of the group's leader which works perfectly as we need someone who can deal with quickly changing circumstances and get the group moving. This one is from the perspective of the, well, nerd of the group. The one most likely to be excited about the whole situation. He's the perfect narrator for this episode where we begin to learn the details of Midrealm. And his voice is noticeably different from the leader's; it's clear the writers put a lot of effort into developing each personality early on.The story line itself is still gripping. It moves, but it doesn't move so fast that you feel it's unrealistic. There's a battle to win, but it's a small one in the broad scheme of things. Just challenging enough for noobs coming into their own, but with plenty of action to keep the reader entertained. It doesn't cover much time from the end of the first book, so you get to go along with them as they grapple with their situation and begin to figure things out.Needless to say, I'm a fan. On to the next one.
