Required Reading

Life is complicated enough without getting into hotwater with federal agencies so: TAKE NOTE Many things I review I received at no charge in exchange for an honest review. Consider this as informing you that ALL things I review may have been gotten at no charge. Realistically about 40% but in order to keep things above board just assume that I got the stuff free. I do not collect information on my readers. If cookies or other tracking stuff is used on my blogs it is due to BLOGGER not ME. Apparently the European Union's new rules state I need to inform you if cookies are being use. If they are it isn't byu me, consider yourself INFORMED.
Words like, “sponsored,” “promotion,” “paid ad” or even just “ad” are clear ways to disclose that you’re being paid to share information and links so BE AWARE that some of what I write can be described as an AD by the government. BTW I will NEVER say a product is great, super or even acceptable if it isn't, whether I got it free or NOT!

Elminster in Myth Drannor by Ed Greenwood




Mystra, Elminster's personal lover and god has made him her chosen and sent him on a quest.  A major problem with this is that Elminster has no idea what her eventual goal might be and therefore does a lot of painful floundering.

Elves bring new meaning to discrimination and prejudice.  It appears that the Elves are mankind's KKK.   The prejudice is exemplified by their myriad ways of trying to kill Elminster. 

The book delves into the political maneuverings and Machiavellian behavior of  elven society.   Greenwood seems to revel in describing the magical events and their often gruesome execution.

This is the second book in a series and Greenwood uses the book to further educate   Elminster.   I liked that personal growth was not limited to just spells and sword play but character and patience were extolled as well.  Elminster looks to be a protagonist that will be enjoyable to follow.

This book also abounds in spell casting, shape changing, sword play and thievery.  

I really enjoyed it. 

Web Site:  none I could fine but here is his Facebook link.
This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
