Fine fantasy novel set in Forgotten Realms,
By
This review is from: Pools of Darkness (Harpers) (Paperback)
Tarl, Shal and Ren return in the sequel to Pool of Radiance. The plot involves these characters and others seeking to save Phlan by restoring it to the surface of Toril and preventing its inhabitants from being consumed by the Pool of Darkness. This novel has some excellent additions to the original cast of characters. You have Militiades a suathe, heroic undead paladin undertaking one last quest for Tyr and druid cousins Talenthia and Andoralson combining to try to stave off evil. Evaine and Gamaliel are probably the most impressive partnership in the novel, as sorceress and feline familiar. Their interaction and telepathic link helps enrich the novel immensely. Pools of Darkness also has some excellent combat sections such as the werewolf ambush and the whole Militiades initial combat and introduction section. Quite a number of demonic monsters make an appearance in this novel including: spinagons, a succubus, abishai and a Pit Fiend orchestrating them and others. All in all, this novel is well worth a read.

Single worst book I have ever read.,
By D. Morris - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Pools of Darkness (Harpers) (Paperback)
I was always a big fan of the Forgotten Realms series, but thought the novelisation of Pool of Radiance(one of my alltime favourite games) was terrible.
This book goes beyond terrible. The introduction has the supreme lord of evil blasting his minions with comicbook sound-effects *zzzzapppp!* *pow-eeeeww!* until one of his cohorts tells him, in what appears to be a Brooklyn accent, that he has to 'show them bums' (I'm not making this up) the extent of his true power. What follows is a collection of wretchedly concieved, poorly written cliches twisted into a vague semblence of a plot that is largely implausible even in a fantasy universe. I gave up reading the book after forcing myself to halfway. Pure garbage. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful:

I think it's a pretty good book!,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Pools of Darkness (Harpers) (Paperback)
This was the first 'FR' book I read and I thought it was pretty good over all. It has a good cast of charactors and they are easy to like. If you are like me and did not read 'Pool of Radiance' first, then you still will be able to very easily follow this book when you read it. This book goes at a good pace. The fights are OK, I like how the characters are not always put in a fight were it's always a hundred to one and they still some how amazingly come out on top with little more then a small bump on there heads. If you are new to fantasy or are an old pro and don't need to worry about every last detail of a book to enjoy it then I would say that this is a good book to read.

Great book for begginers.,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Pools of Darkness (Harpers) (Paperback)
I have read many Forgotten Realms books and I rate this one as a little above average becauuse although it did not sell very well it is a good book for those people just beginning their descent into the Realms.
In fact the whole trilogy was my first. Although the other books are diffuclt to understand this one is not. Fare thee well wherever thee fare.
