War cares little for the troubles of the aristocracy. As a terrible new weapon obliterates the age of courtly battle, an intelligent but plain princess and her companions--an addled young inventor and a kleptomaniac firebird--find themselves forced into a battle for survival in a suddenly very deadly world.

4.0 out of 5 stars
A fun ride,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Council of Blades (Forgotten Realms, The Nobles Series , No. 5) (Mass Market Paperback)
It wasn't quite what I expected from a forgotten realms novel. Thing happend in a tiny place of no outside importance. A place with strange, pompous, and sometimes rididculous rules of warfare.This book is hilarious. The vast majority of the book wil make you laugh. But along the way characters are developed. Make no mistake, there is a story here. There is drama, characterization, and plot, but humor underlies them all.

Not your typical FR book.,
By Jedidoug (Tatooine) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Council of Blades (Forgotten Realms, The Nobles Series , No. 5) (Mass Market Paperback)
Although not quite as polished as his Greyhawk trilogy, I still found this book to be quite enjoyable. It's not your typical FR novel, but considering how formulaic the line has become, this is a good thing. Kidd's stories include unusual characters, and the dialogue sparkles with wit. If you're looking for a standard fantasy novel look elsewhere. If you're looking for something engaging and different, read this.

Another fine piece by Paul Kidd. Sparkling funny fantasy.,
By ardashir51@hotmail.com Eric Hinkle (Northampton, PA, U.S.A.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Council of Blades (Forgotten Realms, The Nobles Series , No. 5) (Mass Market Paperback)
This is another example of what fantasy ought to be, but rarely is. There is just the right mix of humor, action, romance, and magic to make the book charming, but no one element overwhelms the others. It may not be Paul Kidd's best ever, but it's head and shoulders over most published fantasy.
