4.0 out of 5 stars Enough variety ensured to be enjoyed by all tastes. 27 Jun 1999
By A Customer
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This is a book of short stories that range from fairly average to absolutely brilliant. Of course, personal taste will strongly influence which of these stories fall into the particular category. There is some great work here though, and in particular the stories from bankable authors like R.A.Salvatore, Ed Greenwood and Elaine Cunningham ensure there will be some quality in the book. My favourite is 'The Magic Thief' by Mark Anthony which is the story of a great wizard who has his powers stolen by a man using ancient otherworldly knowledge, where the wizard then sets out to regain his lost powers by having to use cunning alone. Magic axes, fearsome warriors, dragons and more are thrown into the mix here and always give the reader somenthing varied to go at. There is nothing here of poor quality but it does contain a couple of weak stories. Having said that, there's certainly enough variety to keep even the most demanding reader happy. Really good read and contains some truly memorable characters. Highly recommended.

3.0 out of 5 stars a few good, but not many 8 Aug 2001
By Cameron Case - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Generally I like all things in the Forgotten Realms series, but this was certainly not an overall good experience. The best stories, in my opinion, were these: Guenhwyvar (R.A. Salvatore), it was the story of the cat's creation, particularly of interest to fans of Drizzt Do'Urden - The Quiet Place (Christie Golden), this was a story of Jander Sunstar, one of my all time favorites (Vampire of the Mists and others) - The Eye of the Dragon (Ed Greenwood), a little bit of Khelben, a little bit of Elminster, but not really about either, good without over doing the popular characters - A Worm too Soft (J. Robert King), this one was different, and I liked that, and well done. The worst ones, again just my opinion: Too Familiar (David Cook), this one just didn't really go anywhere, and I wasn't terribly interested in the characters (they are repeat characters, though I haven't read them in others) - Red Ambition (Jean Rabe), this one just didn't do anything at all, not well written, dull story, I left it wondering why?

All the rest were probably 3 of 5, with the better ones earning 4 and the lesser ones earning 2 (and the story surrounding the anthology, prologue and epilogue, was not very good either). Over all, it is probably 3 stars, maybe 3.5. If you just borrow it and read the stories of your favorites, you could come out with a four or five experience.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fans of the Forgotten Realms should love this! 3 May 2002
By Russell P. Horton - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This is a great anthology, provided that you not only know about the Forgotten Realms but are also a fan. I personally think that the story about the origins of Guenhwyvar (Drizzt Do'Urden's feline companion) make it worth reading, but there are other great stories that involve popular Realmsian characters like the wizards Elminster and Blackstaff. There are also stories about unknown characters that are very entertaining. Again, if you are not a fan of the Forgotten Realms you might not enjoy this much, but if you are a fan, get it, read it, and enjoy it!

3.0 out of 5 stars All the stories even out average. 9 Aug 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
There were only two stories that I really thought were funny. Most were pretty good, about 12, but the rest were AWFUL! For collectors, but most might want to borrow it. Especially the story by Jean Rabe. First she mangles Dragonlance, Krynn. Now, she must ruin Faerun.
