Summary: Not the best of the series, but one truly good book!
Comment: Finally, Arilyn, Danilo and Elaith are back. I was not disappointed. Elaine Cunningham's novels often evolve around mystery, intrigue and plotting, and this one is no exception. The plot is very deep and complex and will grab the reader's attention. We finally see the relationship between Dan and Arilyn evolve (although I must confess I prefered it when they were bickering in Elfshadow, hehe), and The Serpent is back, so we can expect some exciting events ^_^. I was thrilled with the development of Elaith's character, especially near the end. The addition of Thorhold characters was a good idea too (so reading it isn't recommanded unless you read Thornhold, as well as the previous books with Arilyn and Danilo obviously). A sequel to this novel is needed. How about bringing back Lucia Thione, and showing how Elaith prevails with the forest elves? }=)

Summary: What deadly webs we weave...
Comment: "The Dream Spheres" find us once again embroiled in the intrigues of Waterdhavian society, and who resides in the eye of this tempest? Of course, Danilo Thann, Arilyn Moonblade, and Elaith Craulnober. Elaine uses this book to delve deeper into the ugly underside of the Waterdhavian nobles, and their mercantile endeavors. As always, Mrs. Cunningham displays her wonderful gift for developing and "growing" characters, the development of all three of the previously mentioned players is completely natural-especially if you have the luxury of witnessing it over the course of her other titles (Elfshadow, Elfsong, Silver Shadows, & Thornhold). As a previous reviewer stated, they felt too many "side characters" graced the tale; I disagree completely. These characters were important to the overall intrigue of the tale, additionally, several of the roles would then have to be filled by miscellaneous new and unknown characters; is it not better to have an emotional investment in those characters that appear, and to know what they entail? I would, however, be lacking if I failed to lend criticism on the following point, I must say the final encounter with the master behind all the ugliness was less than I'd hoped for. I would have liked to see a grander, less swift wrapping-up of things. But again, she leaves us in the prime location for another riveting tale...On to Tethyr!

Summary: Just couldn't get into this....
Comment: Mmmm.... I admit, this is my first book in this series, and I just could NOT get into it. I have difficult caring for a character who steals for a living without serious just cause. The concept of the dream spheres seems like a thinly veiled cautionary tale on the dangers of drugs. I don't know... It just did NOT work for me. Perhaps the others are better. Until then, I'll give this series a pass.
