Don't mistake with the title. I really enjoy reading this book, but it isn't as good as others Greenwood novels. The plot is great, and it keep you reading the book. It plays with an ancient race that is no longer on Faerun, but in other "dimension", and that gives more interest on the book. The treath that they made is very dangerous to Fareun, but Elminster could easilly kill all of them. Thus, Greenwood keep him busy, with the Times of Troubles, the Zentharim, Mystra and all of that. Then, the responsability to save Faerun from the Maulagrym lies in others foes, that make it good :). I enjoy really this book, and it's worth to buy it.
