Not wonderful, not bad. I need to be in a particular mood to appreciate Badger, and I'm feeling rather too logical toniqht. The tournament is a neat idea, the enemies and others along the way are a little too random for my mood. The tournament itself gets a bit too grim despite Badger's clowning, especially when he has to fight Mavis. The ending is...a little too obvious - nothing surprised me (except maybe Badger calling on all the others - but even that would have been more interesting and surprising if I were more immersed in Badger - I haven't read any in years). And kind of happily ever after. Not bad, but nothing much to it. ( )
