Review
Salvatore shows . . . intelligence in using the classic elements, a pleasant dry wit and a narrative gift. --Publishers Weekly
Product Description
New York Times best-selling author R. A. Salvatore's beloved Cleric Quintet novels, now in a trade paperback.
R.A. Salvatore's Cleric Quintet tells the story of the scholar-priest Cadderly, plucked from the halls of the Edificant Library to fulfill a heroic quest: to stop the chaos curse unleashed upon Faêrun.
This one-volume collection includes all five of the original Cleric Quintet novels--Canticle, In Sylvan Shadows, Night Masks, The Fallen Fortress, and The Chaos Curse--complete and unabridged, with an introduction by the author. The Cleric Quintet is the prequel to R.A. Salvatore's best-selling novel, The Ghost King.

This is value for money. Having read all the dark elf books by Salvatore I decided to read his other books and so bought "Canticle", the first of the Cadderly Cleric Books. It was spell binding! I then decided I wanted to read the whole series and was delighted to find them all in this one book. Your getting 5 brilliant books (I especially liked the last in the series) in one, and a lot cheaper than buying them all separately. If you like RA Salvatores other books, and who couldn't, you'll love these. Cadderly is a powerful and spellbinding character on a par with Drizzt Do'Urban. In short read one of these books and you will want to read them all, so why buy them separately, when you can get all FIVE in one book and much cheaper. This is a must for all serious fantasy fans and is excellent value for money.

Any fans of Drizzt should really read this book! Although this book doesn't actually have any of the Drizzt characters in it, the events in the quintet become important later on in the Drizzt series. As with all RA Salvatore books, once I'd picked it up I couldn't put it down. It's a must read!!

Sorry about the glottal stop in the title; I couldn't fit what I wanted in.
I forgot to take any books with me when visiting my Dad's, so, as is normally the case on such occasions, I looked in the shelves above his bed and found one. In this case, it was the first book of the Cleric Quintet. (Actually, this was how I first met the Icewind Dale books, and the Hitchikers Guide not-a-trilogy.)
So, having read that one, I bought the 5 in one book. I think it is nice to have a familiar writing style, but in a book not centered so much on the combat side of the story. There are, of course, fights, but Cadarly, (the protagonist,) attempts to avoid them. Also, although the other characters are battle-hardened, superhero types, he is, realistically, new to the whole combat scene.
All said and done, this quintet contains many of the ingenious plot twists that frequent the author's other work, and provides a flowing and believable story. (Or as close as this genre can get to being realistic.)
Great, just not as great as other great things.

A "different" tale from Salvatore
Salvatore wrote a great tale (or 5 books) without using his "usual" characters. I recommend it.

Not as good as the rest
Having read and enjoyed most of Salvatore's Forgotten Realms books involving Drizzt, I thought I should also give the Cleric Quintet a go. Read more
