5.0 out of 5 stars
against most reviewers' opinion, a great book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Red Magic (Forgotten Realms: The Harpers, Book 3) (Mass Market Paperback)
As other reviewers have mentioned, this isn't quiet up to the standards of Elaine Cunningham's forgotton realms books, but I don't quiet think it is fair to use extraordinary great books as a standard for comparison for every book. This is a pretty good book- perhaps not a eternal classic, but so few are- and i find it a good read every so often. If you like forgotton realms books, you should immediately buy this. If you don't, than make your own choice. But no one should criticize this novel...

4.0 out of 5 stars
A good enjoyable read,
By Water Monkey "Marc B." (Santa Clarita, Ca.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Red Magic (Forgotten Realms: The Harpers, Book 3) (Mass Market Paperback)
I don't know what all the fuss is about; Jean Rabe has penned a good Harpers book. There are no earth-shattering revelations and your not going to find any truisms here (which is the case with most fantasy novels).The characters are constructed fairly well. The villians are truly the most developed characters. I found myself anticipating what would happen to the villians more than I did the heroes. In fact, if this weren't a Harpers book this could have made a nice starting point for a villians series. To me the story reads like a good translation of a D&D module (unlike "Against the Giants"). The characters are vibrant and colorful. I enjoyed this book and I most people would also enjoy it.

Excellent villains,
By A Customer
This review is from: Red Magic (Forgotten Realms: The Harpers, Book 3) (Mass Market Paperback)
I thought the strongest point of this book was the villains and the treatment of magic. The story was relatively fast-paced, and the villains were complex. I recommend it.
