Review # 1 was written on 2017-05-23 00:00:00 Ward Orndoff Another addition to my forgotten realms fandom. I will reiterate that I am committed to reading all of these books...but they are not as exciting to me as they once were. It is becoming more of a struggle. Alas, I will continue... I have enjoyed learning about a more obscure region of the FR world with this series. And, of course, a country ruled by wizards makes for a good setting. I like the Jordani class concept, and think that it would be fun to build into an actual roleplaying game. And I always enjoy Cunningham's over the top high fantasy. Where this book is lacking is in the plot and the flow. I am not clear on the characters' motivations. And, therefore, am not as invested in the story or outcome....but I guess that's not always why I read these books.

" "Enlightenment, while often annoying, is something I value.” "...fish around. You know—trim the bait into bite-sized bits but hide the hook.…” "you should never call anything a last resort.’ It’s like daring the gods to prove you wrong. No matter how bad things get, they can generally manage to come up with something worse.”
