The Cleric Quintet was a fun read. The characters are likeable and Salvatore writes his fight scenes well. There are of course, some problems - I found Dorigen's face heel turn unbelievable, and Salvatore's overuse of the word "swoon" annoying - but it’s a good read, and well worth the time investment. - review written July 14, 2016
Loved it. I was glad I got the 5 in one book instead of reading each one separately. This allowed me to read the story from start to finish. I really enjoyed it. As with all Salvatore books the world is well described and the characters well flushed out. the main character, Cadderly is a different type of hero. Not a swashbuckler, but a man of faith. I grew attached to him. If you like Forgotten realms, you will like this.
This is all five books collected into one volume. Typical quality Salvatore material. Well written, great characters and interesting plot. Not his best work, but still heads and shoulders above a lot of other series out there. If you’re a Salvatore fan you’ve probably already read this. If you’re new to his work or to the Forgotten Realms, then this isn’t a bad introduction. Pick this one up.
I am speaking on behalf of my inner nerd. This is a wonderful series about a clerics self-exploration, faith, doubt and ultimate redemption.
This is pure plot. If you're like me, then you're going to like it. If, on the other hand, you own and enjoy all the works of Ursula K. LeGuin, then it's doubtful you'll find much use with any of RA Salvatore's works.
This book was pretty good, just in the first book there was too much talking and not enough action. The only really exciting part was that there was going to be an undead army getting built by an evil priest. It got a little more exciting as I went through it though. I wouldn’t read this book unless you can sit through a lot of talking and wait to get to the action.
