So-so,
By A Customer
This review is from: SHADOW STONE (Mass Market Paperback)
The novel starts off not exactly as a typical FR novel; it reads more like a generic fantasyland. The feel of the Realms atmosphere is sadly rather lacking in the beginning. The book doesn't leave a lasting impression, and frankly it was a tedious read rather than entertaining. The prose and style are not that bad, though, hence the three stars. But it's not a book I'll read a second time. One thing. Richard Baker seemed to have made an error - he called the language of the elves "Tel'Quessir" (!) instead of Espraur. Tel'Quessir = The People, as in the elves, not the language. *sighs*

Not quite worth your time or money...,
This review is from: SHADOW STONE (Mass Market Paperback)
I didn't even finish this book. I got about six chapters into it and had to set it aside because the boredom factor had set in.The beginning of this book was believable enough-but it was very slow. Things seemed to take forever, and the plot kept going around in circles. The characters, most of them, were very detailed and had good lives, descriptions, etc.; but I was not fond of this plot. I am not one to continue reading something if the crisis has not set in by one hundred pages into the book, and it doesn't in this book. It is about the same length as all the books in the Cleric Quintet by R.A.Salvatore, but nothing starts happening until after 100 pages...in those books, the crisis happens only about 50 pages in. Maybe you'll like this better than I did, and maybe I'll go back some day and finish it-or at least try to.

good standard story,
This review is from: SHADOW STONE (Mass Market Paperback)
I read this story directly after barely surviving Elminster in Myth Drannor and found it rather refreshing to know that there are still some "normal" folk around. You accompany the wizard Aeron as he learns and matures and unlike Elminster doesn't spring almighty from somewhere or else. The college of magic though was transplanted directly from the American educational system to the Realms. Quite obvious I think, at least if you only know colleges from American television series. Overall well worth reading.
