I read about 30 fantasy novels a year. I must say I am a bigger fan of fantasy litterature than computer games, which says a lot. So I actually read the novella before installing the game <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />
I enjoyed it a lot, it tied Raanaar, Damned/Divine ones and Riftrunning together nicely. It made me wish the the cutscenes in the game were involving those gods.
