Customer Reviews

Finally some characters that are realistic

I was fairly aprehensive about reading this book since I did not overly enjoy Lynn Abbey's last FR novel "The Simbul's Gift." But I ended up really enjoying this book, in fact I loved this book. Many people complain that the main character's are annoying or loathesome but in actuality they were quite realistic, they contained real human qualities and real human flaws, and thats what made this book so great. The hero's are not of your near demi-god proportions and thus it makes it all the more interesting to read about them trying to overcome the perils of the book, and because of this aspect you actually don't know that everyone will be alright in the end such as in an RAS book. And finally to top off the five star rating goes to the quite enjoyable, foppish demi-human of the book. Its nice to see a character such as that portrayed with some intelligence rather than completly feral characteristics. Read this book, I don't think you will be disapointed.

Realms getting better and better

Okay so first of all, Lynn Abbey is a woman.I was a big fan of Ms. Abbey's previous FR book, The Simbul's Gift, and was really excited to see her writing in the Realms again. I was NOT disappointed. Lately the whole FR line has been getting better and better after a real lull there. Beyond the High Road, Death of the Dragon, the whole Threat from the Sea, Sembia -- some of the best fantasy out there. And The Nether Scroll is right up there. I loved it and even the most passing FR fan will too.
