So far so good....It;s hard to beat a good pirate story...and this is shaping up to be a nice one.
I like Geren...he is far from perfect and nothing seems to come easy for him, so he is easy to be for him. Also good for him id the flirtation with the Sokol lady.....always got a feeling he would end up with Mirya....but this new lass has at least got his attention from sulking of his lost Elven love....also enjoy the ghostwise halfling ( he is well done), the Teifling Sorcerer and the Dwarven Sailing Master.(who seems to be more than he is)
And a trip to Zhentil Keep?? Very nice....just starting that, and looking forward to what is had declined into.

I wished Zhentil Keep had been explored more, but I understand why they weren't there long. Hopefully we learn more about it someday.
And How about that call back to Gamelon and his "flying ship"!! Great stuff there! Im sure The Sage will salivate over that page when he reads it. And I would imagine it will bring a bittersweet smile to Steven Schend's face as well! It good to see this book well grounded in Realmslore from the past. |

Unfortunately, given my current financial focus, I'll likely have to wait until Corsair is released in paperback before I can read it.
i waited for the paperback as well...but I suppose it has not made it down there yet 
I think you will enjoy it!
Sarth...Reminds me of you...so that makes for a fun read! |

Really enjoying this one...
I like Sarth (tiefling sorcerer) and Hamil( ghostwise halfling) more as the story develops. I saw the "flying"irate ship coming....but had not clue they would be going to one of Selunes tears for their hideout. Very cool! Only thing so far I dont love....Sergen's "uncertain" ending.....but that is what book 3 is for in a trilogy!
Oh yeah...and the Dwarven sailing master who I thought was "more than he seemed".....not so much. |

Whoops! Sorry Red, but I got this mixed up with Avenger, the third book of the trilogy. I do have a paperback copy of Corsair. I just simply haven't had a chance to read it yet.

Well...he is sarcastic...has red skin and horns....is a little brusque and carries a big magic rod that may be compensating for his lack of magical stamina  
But in a moment of seriousness...its mostly his quick one liners. Short and to the point. And he is always at hand when needed.
Altough it mentioned that his workshop is neat and organized, which strikes me as Anti-Sagified |

This is a good series.
I am eagerly waiting for Avenger.
Then Rich needs to do a backdrop article for the Moonsea Region. |
"These things also I have observed: that knowledge of our world is
to be nurtured like a precious flower, for it is the most precious
thing we have. Wherefore guard the word written and heed
words unwritten and set them down ere they fade . . . Learn
then, well, the arts of reading, writing, and listening true, and they
will lead you to the greatest art of all: understanding."

And another trilogy!
But I cannot understand why Geren would leave that ship and the two "starry compasses" behind. |

I'll have you know that I don't have any problems in THAT department!

That's definitely on the mark.
It was only yesterday that the Lady K remarked that she needed some kind of map to weave through the "stacks, papers, books, and other detritus" sitting in my library. |

I'm sure you will enjoy the book and the characters.
And by "map" is that code for a shovel and trash bin?? |
