Customer Reviews

Excellent, Read all of them

I love Greenwoods Elminster line. It is the best. YOu will never get bored with this one as the plot keeps building and twisting. Great read.

Another good book by Greenwood!

This book is the best one in the Elminster series. Ed Greenwood really showed the love Elminster has for Mystra. The Making of a Mage was my second favorite in the series. I started to read Elminster in Hell, but found it to be very very bad...its the only book I have ever quit.

Never Lacking

I have seen several reviews stating that this book was terrible, but I actually found it quite a liberating experience from the general ho hum fiction. This book forces the reader to not only read the words, but to understand them as well. in a likewise manner, the reader is brought to think about more that what is actually written; forced to think about what is not written. Deffinately recommneded for those who actually like to use their brains.

Great, non-stop action throughout the story

In this book he takes a well know man and shares how Elminster became the most talked about mage in farun.
