Summary: Better Than the First
Comment: The first book in this series (The Summoning) is worse than this book by a good margin, but there are only 5 five stars, so I have given them both a 3/5.

Denning still doesn't explore the points of view of any of the other characters, even Ruha (who, admittedly, it IS nice to see again after the Parched Sea and the other novel with her in it, I can't remember the title), who he wrote a whole novel about. However, Galaeron's shadow conflict is a little less ubiquitous, and it is far more interesting than the first, mainly since there is a little more at stake in this novel than there was.

The shadows are obviously gathering for the war between the Shadowvar and the rest of Faerun, and the Shadowvar will hopefully lose. They are a bunch of selfish, greedy s who really should be taught to function in the context of the rest of the realms. Someimes they remind me of the Colonial British.

Anyway, it was a decent book, better than the first, and I am now working through the third apace. If you read the first, you should read this as well. If not, don't punish yourself.

Summary: Good but not great
Comment: This was probably the worst of the three return of the Archwizards books. I really think the "Bad guys" needed much more character development. I did spend a lot of time trying to figure out who the real enemy was. Overall I suppose it was worth reading, if for any reason it would be to know the story line and how it plays out. If you are a forgotten realms junky like myself it is a worthwhile read.

Summary: This book is awful!
Comment: This book is awful! It is the worst D&D book I have ever read. The plot is slow, confusing, and boring. The characters have no focus. I could not even finish reading the book because it was so bad. Troy Denning has written some good stuff in the past but he has lost his touch with this series.
