Crossposted at Bookstooge.booklikes.blogspot.wordpress.com by express permission of this reviewer Synopsis Erevis must rescue Magadon, who appears to have disappeared. At the same time, there are some serious political happenings going on in Sembia which have to do with the Source and the Netherese as much as anything else. My Thoughts I've come to accept the fact that I'm going to keep on reading these Forgotten Realms books, so I went ahead and made a shelf/tag for them, just like I have for Star Wars. They are a force unto themselves. For the first half of the book I have to admit I was bored. Not a lot happened, it was barely about Cale at all and you had a lot of politics and religion happening. Finally Erevis gets involved. He and Riven, Mask's Second, have both changed enough that there is no more posturing and frenemy'ing. They are allies. It was really nice to see a good solid alliance instead of the bickering we saw in the Erevis Cale trilogy. Good amount of fighting near the end, with them breaking into a magicless prison to rescue someone. And the ending, where they DO rescue Magadon and end up IN HELL, was pretty cool. Of course, it seems like every hero ends up in hell at one time or another, so maybe I should have been a little more stoic about it, but I thought it was cool! Rating: 3.5 of 5 Stars Author: Paul Kemp " ( ) Turmoil is brewing in Sembia. The book picks up just after the Everis Cale trilogy and delves deeper into the butler-gone-shade quest to become a hero for Jak. The shade enclave crave a new empire and instigating a civil war in one of the richest cities in the Realms will get them just that. That and resurrection of the long lost city Sakkor that sank to the ocean when the Shadevar fell from power, both literally and figuratively. Excellent book filled with reminiscing and exciting new developments. no reviews | add a review
The Lady has spoken to me. It has already begun. Shadows move out of the shrinking desert, south to the rich and arrogant cities of Sembia. "Be brave, little man," says the shadowman, and the boy thinks his voice is surprisingly soft. "Stay with your mother. This will be over soon." The shadows swallow him and he is gone. On the edge of a war that will change the face of Faerûn, the world will find that not all shadows serve Shade. No library descriptions found. |
