A decent, but not great story of Elminster's early days, before he became an adventurer/hero/mythic figure. At this point Elminster isn't all-powerful. The writing is good and the story is interesting, particularly for Forgotten Realms fans. ( )
the beginnings of the mage known as Elminster. A huge hero in the forgotten realms lore, I gather. This book didn't so much read as it was almost a script for a D&D campaign. Given, Ed did make up D&D, but still. This was more 2D than a Terry Brooks book. So if you want a brainless magic read, this is the type of series for you. I shall be reading more Forgotten Realms to see if they are all like this. Might depend on the author I guess. ( )
Silly fun... not particularly well written, but his notes in this edition explain that he wrote the whole thing in a few weeks under some crazy deadline. You can definitely tell. Just all over the place. I'll probably read the second one to see where it goes... ( )
This is another of those enjoyable stories that takes a young person who doesn't know what he's doing and becomes something beyond his potential to save the world. I enjoyed this book and I think anyone who likes Forgotten Realms will also like this book. Solid Read. ( )
