Yes! 🙂 It’s the only Legend game I played, many years ago, and it was awesome. I want to play all of them now. (starting from spellcasting 101, then gateway) I like the fact that you can play entirely with the mouse, without typing. ---

If I know the story is good, I prefer to read the book before the movie. but the important questions is: reading the book will spoil the puzzles? ---

So it doesn’t spoil any puzzles. If you prefer to read the books before the movie then I recommend to do it the same way with the game.
