Troy Denning is the New York Times bestselling author of Star Wars: Tatooine Ghost and Star Wars: The New Jedi Order: Star by Star, as well as Waterdeep, Pages of Pain, Beyond the High Road, The Summoning, and many other novels. His most recent Star Wars novel is Star Wars: Fate of the Jedi: Vortex. A former game designer and editor, he lives in western Wisconsin with his wife, Andria.
The Return of the Archwizards trilogy is a critical work in the Forgotten Realms universe. Aside from being exciting and well-written, involving a truly epic scale without resorting to "Mary Sue" characters, the series studies the events leading up to the return of Thultanthar to Faerūn. Furthermore, the author's coverage of the climate-manipulation initiatives of the magocratic city-state are important if one is to understand the vastly different social, political, economic, and environmental conditions prevailing in the region in the Faerūn of one century later.

This review is from: Return of the Archwizards: A Forgotten Realms Omnibus (The Return of the Archwizards) (Paperback)
I've read Troy Denning's books before and loved them so was looking forward to reading this trilogy. It started well but as I got to the end of the first book it was slowing down, I'm now trying to get through the second book and I feel that its long winded on the description when it should be moving the story along. If I had read the book from the library for example I definately wouldn't have bought it.
