Summary: Definetly the Best Forgotten Realms book I've read...
Comment: This book is great, the character development is very realsistic in my opinion. Contrary to another review, I would say that the Knights of Helm vs Native Mazticans conflict is nail-biting. It does not represent the Invaders as any more "Civilised" than those they attack. They are described as having a "washed out" appearance, "strange, sprouting" facial hair and also carrying a rank odour. In the way that events are told, I myself interpreted the book as saying that the conflict was unfortunate, and more the fault of the evil worshippers of the Maztican War God. Another brilliant factor would have to be a secret conspiracy element which definetly does not rip of history.
This is by far the most well-developed Forgotten Realms book I have ever read, although some humour wouldn't have gone amiss.

Summary: bad bad bad
Comment: The historical aspect is a rip-off. Names are changed, but the premise is totally unoriginal. Also, I felt betrayed when the characters who started out as 'cool' turned out to be crazy, violent individuals who suddenly didn't make sense in the story or world such as a Dwarf who didn't have a problem with his army slaughtering children. The general who we're supposed to hope succeeds leads an army of child/women killers. And, the whole trilogy seems to say the evil guys are OK because they're the 'civilized' ones. There are plenty of better Forgotten Realms novels out there. Save yourself some time and skip this series.

Summary: Page Turner
Comment: I found Ironhelm to be a book that was extermely hard to put down. Right from the start it immerses you in action and adventure. The main plot was easy to guess, as this novel seemed to be based on the Spanish invasion of Mexico. Historical boredom is spared, however, with the lively infusion of magic and fantasy. Although true to the Forgotten Realms setting, it adds a new and original continent. My only complaint is the brief details in some parts of this book. This lack, however, keeps the book fast paced.
