Summary: Not bad
Comment: I enjoyed this book, fast paced high adventure type stories never fail to entertain. Gory? Compared to the genre's classics, stories about characters like Conan, Elric, Bilbo, Thomas Covenant etc... It beats the heck out of the watered down politically correct ... that passes for sword and sorcery fiction these days. This book is not a classic. But it's a good way to [pass] a few hours waiting for a bus or something.

Summary: Extreme Realms
Comment: If you've never read a Realms book before, then don't read this as a starter! This book is written so differently from other Realms books that it comes as a shock to fans - they either hate it or love it for its uniquness. It is extremely gory and descriptive, but what else should we expect from a book based on nightmares? There is adventure and plenty of mystery - not as fine-tuned as "Azure Bonds" but keeps readers on their toes. The plot and enemies are all-new showing us a very different side to the realms, staying out of the safe, well-run tracks of many FR novels. The Night Parade instead breaches boundaries into a side of the Realms you never dreamed you'd see. If you don't like change or "different", then perhaps you better work your way up to this book but if you embrace books that are often the odd one out, then this is a must-read.

Summary: An unfortunate choice for fans of The Harpers series
Comment: First of all, if a book is going to be part of a series involving a society, shouldn't the story be about one of the members? The only true Harpers throughout the novel were slaughtered in pointless melodrama. The phrasing and paragraph structure was redundant and slow and the only really moving scenes had nothing at all to do with the plot, if you consider being told that people were making noble gestures, as opposed to having the gesture described, moving. There was poinless slaughter, unfounded, unrealistic romanticized acts of self-sacrifice and so so many encounters that did nothing for the plot that half of the text could have been struck out for being irrelevant (except to explain why there were no Harpers in the novel). And since there was so much material that had nothing to do with the plot, the story dragged on beyond the bareable limits. This novel was an exercise in pain tolerance. All in all, The Night Parade has to be the worst novel that I can recall ever having read. A true and regretable waste of time.
