5.0 out of 5 stars The Darkwell, one of the best books I have read!, July 17, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Darkwell (Forgotten Realms, Moonshae Trilogy, Book 3) (Mass Market Paperback)

This is perhaps one of the best books I know of! It has a touch of everything, from violence to magic to romance and even sadness. It follows the adventure of the young King Tristian Kendrick, the Druid Robyn, whom he is in love with and his best friend Daryth, an assasin by trade. The setting is the Moonshae isles, after the darkwalker wars have passed, yet evil still stirs! An amazing book that shows that the forces of good dont all ways win! Nothing short of Brilliant! There are some scenes you will want to read again and again! Love, betrayl, war, scandal and magic. A massive combination!

This review is from: Darkwell (Forgotten Realms, Moonshae Trilogy, Book 3) (Mass Market Paperback)

Definitely a great fantasy epic and one of my personal favorites, The Moonshae Trilogy- Darkwalker on Moonshae, Black Wizards, and Darkwell, brings to life the little known Moonshae Isles set in the magical world of Toril. The books are so incredibly well written that the reader feels that they have been transported to another plane of existence and are actually present among the characters, seeing what they see, feeling what they feel, sensing what they sense. The author, Douglas Niles, has truly outdone himself and has presented us with a masterpiece of literature the likes of which we have seen only in JRR Tolkien's work and RA Salvatore's The Dark Elf and Icewind Dale trilogies, and in authors Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman's Dragonlance Chronicles and Legends trilogies. Magic, Gods and Heroes are all about. A GREAT book indeed and a must read if you love Fantasy and especially if you love the Forgotten Realms! DON'T MISS IT!!!

This review is from: Darkwell (Forgotten Realms, Moonshae Trilogy, Book 3) (Mass Market Paperback)

I have read this series many times and it is still as good today as it was the first time I read it, almost 15 years ago.
I think the plot is one of the more interesting in the fantasy genre. Tristan and Robyn along with many other interesting characters are trying to defend their Isle/Goddess from the attacks of an evil god and his minions. I enjoyed the fantastic creatures, especially the little Psuedodragon as the comic relief.
I hope they re-issue this series so more people can enjoy this wonderful story filled with werewolves, unicorns, sea creatures, magic and intense battles.
Find it or borrow it! A must read.
