I enjoyed this book but the ambiguousness of the tale left me wondering who actually did what. There's a lot of finger pointing but nothing definitively stated. The tale is confusing enough without the author leaving it up to the reader's interpretation. I like Ian Forest but there is definitely ...
I really enjoyed this book. It's the first I've read by Elaine Cunningham but definitely not the last. I have book 2 [b:Shadows in the Starlight|65|Shadows in the Starlight (Changeling, #2)|Elaine Cunningham|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1328003493s/65.jpg|815436] and will be reading that very soon ...
Hmmm, 3.5-4, only because the Drizzt Do'Urden and Liriel Baenre stories saved it for me.The other stories felt a bit weak. Probably because there wasn't much time to develop the characters and the overall details of everything else. Although there was one other short story that caught me in the end ...
Hmmm.... 3.5 stars.I had imagined this one differently. Yet its nothing like the other ones I've read -- basically being R.A. Salvatore in this central universe of the Dungeons&Dragons. Still its a story nevertheless. It's characters are definitely interesting enough. However I was kind of missing...
I admit, I like Forgotten Realms novels more for the characters than I do the action, and because of this I always feel a little bogged down in the second books. It’s not a fault of the author, it’s just that by the second book you know the characters and it’s much more about advancing the plot, esp...
I read this book after War of the Spider Queen and The Lady Penitent series at the encouragement of my partner. I felt very distanced from the Drow in most of the War of the Spider Queen books and felt that, in part, it was because of the lack of female perspective on the matriarchy.In short, I grea...
This was a good collection of stories that smoothly combine the seafaring/pirate theme with fantasy. I only disliked a couple of stories, although as a whole, I found the tone a bit on the dark side. I think the only upbeat story was by Patrick Thomas, and I would expect no less of him, since he al...
I don't tend to expect a great deal from shared-world fiction in general as they often sell based more on the popularity of the setting than the quality of the writing, and past experience has taught me not to expect a great deal from fiction based on Roleplaying properties such as Dungeons and Drag...
Solid and entertaining although some of the stories run together due to theme and other commonalities after a while. Part of the reason is this collection is quite long. But the writing is very strong, stories and characters interesting for the most part, and the authors' takes on the themes are uni...
