AMAZING TRILOGY!!!,
By
This review is from: TANTRAS-AVATAR #2 (Mass Market Paperback)
Definitely a great fantasy epic and one of my personal favorites, The Avatar Trilogy- Shadowdale, Tantras, and Waterdeep, is about the Time of Troubles when the Gods walked the Earth (in this case Toril). The books are so incredibly well written that the reader feels that they have been transported to another plane of existence and are actually present among the characters, seeing what they see, feeling what they feel, sensing what they sense. The authors have truly outdone themselves and have presented us with a masterpiece of literature the likes of which we have seen only in JRR Tolkien's work, RA Salvatore's The Dark Elf and Icewind Dale trilogies, and in authors Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman's Dragonlance Chronicles and Legends trilogies. Love, honor, bravery, magic, and heroes are all about. In conclusion, it's what Fantasy reading SHOULD be. A GREAT trilogy indeed and a "must read" along with James Lowder's Prince of Lies and Troy Denning's Crucible: The Trial of Cyric! DON'T MISS IT!!!

An okay Realms books ever.,
By A Customer
This review is from: TANTRAS-AVATAR #2 (Mass Market Paperback)
This story is very interesting. I think it has some of the best charecters i've ever read. Its cool that they put the gods into the story. Without the gods the story would be pretty boring. The main person in this story is Midnight a female mage who is Mystras chosen. She doesn't really do much in this story. They should of made Adon the main charecter because not many storys have a cool cleric in them.

The Search for the Tablets of Fate Continue!,

This review is from: TANTRAS-AVATAR #2 (Mass Market Paperback)
This books is a major improvement over Shadowdale. I got into this book alot faster than it took me to get into Shadowdale. I think most people who had gripes with the previous novel in the series would agree. The author has definatly improved since then.My only gripe in this novel is how Cyrics attitude change is so sudden. It should have been a gradual thing but it it not. Heres some info on the book **Spoilers if you have not read SHADOWDALE!** At the end of Shadowdale Mystra was destroyed. Lord Banes Avatar was blow into a bloody pulp, and Elminster was sucked into a rift and killed. Now Midnight and Adon are on trial for the Murder of Shadowdales sage. Kelemvor who we have found is cursed to turn into a Panther if he tries to do anything that is not in his own best interest cannot do anything. Cyric has changed drastically, he thinks himself better than all in the group. Bane takes a new avatar and with the help of Myrkul continues his quest to regain the Tablets of Fate. The Time of Troubles continues!
