Finished The Raven Scholar and am sticking with my earlier description of "mostly very good". I had twinges of light novel trope burnout when it was trying so hard to establish the protagonist as The Most Despised Person Evar and when the highly structured tournament was introduced, and there were several times when I paused to wonder if something was a sign that this is a post-apocalyptic version of our world or just standard lazy fantasy worldbuilding. But these are minor quibbles with a book that is good at great length. Can still recommend.

8. Dzurlord by "Architects Adventure", another book in the Crossroads Adventures gamebook series, and only the second one in that series which I can describe as "actually good". In fact, probably the best one I've read so far. I'd love to know the author's real identity but that information does not appear to be on the interwebs anywhere.
