Didn't like the sticker on the spine of the book. I thought I had bought a book according to its age, there was no need to add further damage. Three stars and you're lucky. I hope you drop it in the future, or I'll buy no more.

against most reviewers' opinion, a great book
7 April 2000
Format:Mass Market Paperback
As other reviewers have mentioned, this isn't quiet up to the standards of Elaine Cunningham's forgotton realms books, but I don't quiet think it is fair to use extraordinary great books as a standard for comparison for every book. This is a pretty good book- perhaps not a eternal classic, but so few are- and i find it a good read every so often. If you like forgotton realms books, you should immediately buy this. If you don't, than make your own choice. But no one should criticize this novel...

A good enjoyable read
14 Nov 2000
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I don't know what all the fuss is about; Jean Rabe has penned a good Harpers book. There are no earth-shattering revelations and your not going to find any truisms here (which is the case with most fantasy novels).
The characters are constructed fairly well. The villians are truly the most developed characters. I found myself anticipating what would happen to the villians more than I did the heroes. In fact, if this weren't a Harpers book this could have made a nice starting point for a villians series.
To me the story reads like a good translation of a D&D module (unlike "Against the Giants"). The characters are vibrant and colorful.
I enjoyed this book and I most people would also enjoy it.

Excellent villains
29 Oct 2000
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I thought the strongest point of this book was the villains and the treatment of magic. The story was relatively fast-paced, and the villains were complex. I recommend it.
