5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome book - strong characters, strong plot, April 25, 2005

This review is from: Darkwalker on Moonshae: The Moonshae Trilogy, Book One (Mass Market Paperback)

This is a re-issue of the first Forgotten Realms trilogy written. It's a bit surprising they didn't keep this series in print longer. Honestly, this is one of the best FR books I've read.

The book opens with a fair where we meet the main characters; Robyn, Tristan, Daryth, and the moorhound, Canthus. As we get to know these characters (they are very deep - not exactly your infallible hero types) Kazgoroth makes his move to try to take over the Moonshae Isles.

Along the way, our heroes are pulled into the struggle. The action increases and a few more characters are introduced, which are each also interesting in their own way. I love how Niles makes his characters come to life - even the minor ones.

This is an action-packed read with deep characters - good and evil. This is a book that sets the standard for others in the FR realm - even among other fantasy novels period.

This is an awesome book - highly recommended.

This review is from: Darkwalker on Moonshae: The Moonshae Trilogy, Book One (Mass Market Paperback)

For anyone who will not read a book because it has a Forgotten Realms/Dragonlance logo above the title, this is the book that can break that prejudice. This is a good fantasy novel period. This is Niles at his best. The very first Forgotten Realms novel is full of great characters and even greater action. Though it is billed as a trilogy, this story is a stand alone tale. After it sold well, Niles write 2 more stories and TSR packaged it as a trilogy. If you enjoy this story and trilogy, it is followed by a sequel--the Druidhome trilogy.

Pequegnat (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Darkwalker on Moonshae (Forgotten Realms-Moonshae Trilogy, Book 1) (Paperback)

This is the BEST, "Forgotten Realms" series that I have read. The story transports you to a world of magic and adventure, entwines you in to the struggles of the heroes, and leaves you feeling fulfilled at the climax. What more can you ask for in a fantasy book?

OVERALL SCORE: (A+)
