Oh my god, even better. I must have him that book immediately.
King's Quest 7 is ... very notably Disney-inspired (or, if you've seen the "Land Beyond Dreams" number recently, it's Disney-"inspired" in much the same way that Gamma Ray songs are Judas Priest-/Iron Maiden-/Helloween-inspired) but for a game that finally got tired of Graham and Alexander and chose to feature Valanice and Rosella as the playable characters this time around, it actually works remarkably well. It has quite a lot of charm to it. And the soundtrack is great, too. And there may be one or two poisonous monsters, but there is a notable lack of owls to warn you about them.
And yes, it is rather strange that the wanderer doesn't kill you for giving him salt water, especially since he directly threatens your life (well, "go, now, this thirst drives me mad, and I know not what it will make me do" is pretty direct for a Sierra game, anyway) right before you have the chance to do that, and even KQ7 has no qualms killing you over less serious offenses. (With the instant "oops, let me try that again" feature, but you know.)
