I am very much anticipating this novel and it's fellows to follow it. Thay is one of my favorite regions and has been since I first discovered the Realms, and the fact that RLB is the author makes me want it even more.
I was excitied that we get got to see some of Szass Tam's obvious magical power as well as his cunning. I was just as confused as Homen by his reactions to their inglorious retreat over the river. What are his plans?! |
And if the PCs DO win their ways through all the liches to Larloch, “he” will almost certainly be just another lich (loaded with explosive spells) set up as a decoy, with dozens of hidden liches waiting to pounce on any surviving PCs who ‘celebrate’ after they take Larloch down. As the REAL Larloch watches (magical scrying) from afar. Myself, as DM, I’d be wondering: “Such a glorious game, so many opportunities laid out before your PCs to devote your time to, and THIS fixation is the best you can come up with? Are you SURE you’re adventurers?” -Ed Greenwood

almost finsihed this opus.
After have read Red magic, I did not really wanted to read more about Thay, its wizards and its vilains.
But I was surprised in a good way. I discovered realistic people, real Thayans. I do not see Thay as a only lair of bad mages anymore.
I just found some words difficult to understand -those which are linked to undead thematic- but the manner Richard writes is easy to read for a "non-English-language-born" reader.
According to me, a great novel.
Thanks to Richard Lee Byers for it.
Now, I go to read the 30 last pages and I will enter the sequel in few days. |
