So is anyone else reading this novel? I'm loving the story and the writing style Lisa Smedman uses to tell her tale. But what strikes me the most is that we finally get a Dwarf centric novel. Id recommend this to all FR fans because it's a great read. I'm curious on others thoughts of the novel.

Hi Caolin,

I think the story and writing is great too. It is a real old school style FR novel - Ed Greenwood was not wrong in his recommendation of the book!

I just finished the book and all I have to say is AMAZING!! That final chapter made me mist up in the eyes a bit. And it had some nice juicy lore about where the Dwarves came from.

Bravo Lisa bravo! This was one of the best Realms novels I've ever read.

It was a great stand alone novel. It was a nice change of pace to have a dwarf novel. I also like how Lisa Smedmans "dark" elves made an appearance.

I'm reading the novel right now. I'm about 2/3 of the way through and really enjoying the book. Echoing what others have said, it is nice to see the dwarves in a starring role in a book that centers almost exclusively on them and their gods.

I've just got my copy. I really can't wait to start reading it. The Realms is still in dire need of quality dwarven-based fiction.
