And a very necessary change, i would say. When i've started the Starless Night i already knew the ending more or less clearly. I wanted a novel that will prove interesting from the very beginning till the end, and somehow i chose the right book. Elfshadow is one of my favourite (others are Elminster The Making of the Mage, Elminster in Myth Drannor...)

I wished on the seven sisters
Bring me the wisdom of the age
All that's locked within the book of secrets
I longed for the knowledge of the sage...

Depends. Do you like Ed Greenwood's style in general? |

Hmm.. Hard to tell. I have only read spellfire and I didn't like it very much (I mean 3 dracoliches?) |

It's good to know that when we get bored of the same old, same old that there are other authors we can rely on. Especially in the Sembia series, which makes it one of my favs. The different authors have various writing sytles, which is highly effective in portraying the different scenes and characters of the Uskervern family jumping from novel to novel, making it a good read. |
