When I heard the book was in the first person I was a bit skeptical, but after reading, I think it was an ingenius format. It isn't really first person in a complete sense, but you have to read it to understand what I mean (I don't want to ruin it for you). Bottom line, if you liked the avatar trilogy and Prince of Lies, you will without a doubt enjoy this book the same.

Through the eyes of Malik a fat, dim witted, sniveling, coward, new light is shed upon not just the perspective of the "good" but also that of the "evil". The first person commentary by Malik I found insightful and more often then not humorous. This book is great if you could not get enough of Prince of Lies.

Format:Mass Market Paperback
The new idea of using the first person as a narrator doesn't seem great, but it really is when you realize he's on the evil side! For once the good guys get practically crushed, it almost feels good, and it was almost sad to see Mystra and Kel.. well I won't say more 'cause I won't spoil, but they formed one of my favorite couple. Well, even I recognize it was a great idea. Malik is hilarious in his descriptions of "Oghma the thieving, unknowning god" and "Mystra the Harlot". I never read the Parched Sea, but I believe I will because Ruha intrigued me. Good work Troy, much better than the Twilight Giants trilogy (which wasn't bad, just a lil stale). Mask and Cyric the Mad rule.

...nuff said
this book was not only a waste of time, it was also a big waste of money, and a big waste of the author's talent. Read something else. Trust me on this one.

Crucible
My largest problem with this book is that it is told through the words and deeds of a follower of the wicked god Cyric - and Cyric is by far one of the most despised characters I... Read more

Dreadful
Crucible doesn't have the endearing lack of pretention of the original Avatar Trilogy or the sophistication of Prince of Lies. Yuck. Read more

Aliens:3 & Highlander:2 are not the worst sequels
Don't waste your time reading this book. This is perhaps one of the most dissapointing sequels in history. Read more

Many plot twists to keep you guessing what will happen next
So many subplot stories that make the book whole. You want to cheer for Mystra and Kelemvor, but Cyric and the other gods put in good points for their mistakes. Read more

Extreme changes to the realms...
Well, I love this book. Prince of Lies was better to my opinion, but the first person view of one of Cyric's followers is wonderful. Read more

An Unimpressive Novel That Still Manages To Entertain.
I have to say that this is probably the most shallow, ridiculous TSR novel that I've yet had the pleasure to read. Read more

The others were better...
There is not much to say. I do not think this deserves to be a sequel to the Avatar trilogy. Compared to those, this is boring, inconsistent and ridiculous crap. Read more

A good book for anyone who enjoyed the Avater Trilogy.
An excellent sequel to The Price of Lies.And again, a good book for anyone who enjoyed the Avater Trilogy.
