Customer Reviews

Very Good

I liked this book in The Wizards series the best. It included a whole part of Faerun I'd ignored and brought the Imaskaran Empire to my knowledge. I'd like to see what happens to Ususi and to the Elf fighter who would the bodyguard for the geomancer dwarf. Intriguing characters were well fleshed out. I know this because I wanted to know more about them after the story was over. The biggest question for me was about the Vengeance Taker. He was the most intriguing character outside Ususi. The author hinted that perhaps his views were changing because of his exposure to the upper world and the light of day shining upon some things. Well done!

Very exciting

I enjoyed the new outlook on the Imaskari race and a little bit about how they operate. I am hoping that this will open up more avenues for this race and possible expansions in the D & D world?

Great read, even as a stand alone book.

I read this book as a stand alone, not being a Forgotten Realms reader typically, and enjoyed it very much. I was pulled right into the stories and characters and flew through it in a few days. I found the basic premise behind the plot to be unique and creative and all of the characters to be intriguing and enjoyable to read about. I would love to get even more into the characters, but I think for a book this size and with that many characters, the depth of information on each character was appropriate. It just made me want to pick up more books in the series to learn more. I would definitely recommend reading this book, especially if you're ready to enjoy a good story without having to read an unending litany of epic novels like many fantasy stories out there today.
