5.0 out of 5 stars
The Utter East!, May 22, 2011
This review is from: Errand of Mercy (Double Diamond Triangle Saga) (Mass Market Paperback)
Errand of Mercy is the fourth of a series of nine short books, known as the Double Diamond Triangle Saga, set in the Forgotten Realms. Roger E. Moore picks up where James M. Ward and David Wise left off with The Paladins, the second book in the series. The magical portal from Undermountain leads to Eldrinpar, the capital city of Doegan, one of the Five Kingdoms of the Utter East; a region of Toril unfamiliar to most.
Roger E. Moore introduces a new and very interesting character, Ikavi Garkim, who is the Doegan mage-king's right hand. Moreover, the author does a great job of providing the region's legend and lore throughout the book, especially in dealing with the arrival of the Ffolk, the Fallen Temple, and the bloodforges, while his exceptional descriptions help teleport the reader to the Forgotten Realms, among the characters described.
In short, Errand of Mercy may very well be the best book in the series thus far.
