Got a copy early, and I have to say, I absolutely consumed this book.
It is an awesome read, and is a good transition as well.
Great job, kudos, huzzahs are due to Mr. Kemp, and I eagerly await his next foray into the Realms.

Been waiting on this one myself. I'm a huge fan of Kemp's and I can't wait to read Shadowrealm. Thanks for not spoiling it  . |
Anyone who likes to read something that's really dark and gritty and completely awesome ought to read The Night Angel Trilogy by Brent Weeks. You can check out a little taste at www.BrentWeeks.com I should probably warn you, though, that it is definitely not PG-13 :-D
He also started a new Trilogy with Black Prism, which may even surpass the Night Angel Trilogy in its awesomeness.

| Seconded and thirded. And fourthed. :D :D |
My latest Realms-based short story, about a bard, a paladin of Lathander and the letter of the law, Debts Repaid. It takes place before the "shattering" and gives the bard Arion a last gasp before he plunges into the present.http://candlekeep.com/campaign/logs/log-debts.htm |

It was well worth the wait (even though I got it almost a week early), and I hate when others read novels before I do and then ruin it for me, so don't worry about me spoiling it.
How about a teaser though? Mask....hmm.... |

| You could always put teasers in "beige" (pull it down from the color menu) so people who want a spoiler can see it by highlighting it, and those who don't want to be spoiled don't have to. |

I have the same problem with the temptation- along with being impatient and lacking self-control, I just NEED to know... even hidden spoilers would be too much for me |

| didn't think that mentioning Mask would be a "spoiler", since he's been a mainstay of all of the Erevis Cale novels. Shoot, I didn't even hint at anything. |

I didn't say that was a spoiler, I was just making a general suggestion for the future. |

I hope those of you with an interest in the novel find it worth the wait. To me, it felt like it took forever for December to come.  |

-I know and thats why I hate you!!! (JK)
-I got Plague of Spells today  , but the guy at the Borders Store wouldnt give me Shadowrealm!!!
-Yet, I did get all three Erevis Cale's books, and Evermeet Island of the Elves. (I figured if LK and Markus like it it should be good! )

-Well its about Elves. Now if it was about some good ol'Dwarves now that would be outstanding. Hey my first ever D&D character was a Dwarf.

picked this up today at my local borders. It was not on the shelf with the rest of the Fr, dragonlance and other sci-fi/fantasy. As I was leaving, peeved about having to brave downtown holiday and 5 o'clock traffic with no results, I spotted the novel in the "stocking stuffer" section by the door. I got me my copy  |
