Even for a Forgotten Realms/TSR book, this is incredibly bad. It might be good as a youngsters first fantasy novel (although that should be The Hobbit) but I can't recommend it for anyone else. The cartoonishly evil villains who manage to mess up each others plans over and over really bury this book. The heroes aren't much better, with the only interesting one being the Undead Paladin of Tyr.
