5.0 out of 5 stars A great book, October 19, 1998

This review is from: The Simbul's Gift (Forgotten Realms: The Nobles, Book 6) (Mass Market Paperback)

When I bought this book I assumed it would be terrible, but I found out that I rather liked it. I probably am biased but I thought the book was a very interesting book for a couple of reasons. First it offers the first and only look at the Simbul in a novel. Her personality as depicted certainly was nothing near what I imagined! She was portrayed as much more..human than I had thought her to be. The second factor is the interesting plot involving the Yuir elves and their gods. It is a very excellent book indeed.

After having read several source books to the Forgotten Realms campaing setting, I must say that I hardly even recognise the Witch- Queen of Aglarond. The book was entertaining but itdid not seem to fit with the campaign. Now I have to decide which Simbul I like the best...

3.0 out of 5 stars Dry, too many good stories supporting a bad one., January 3, 1998

I was a little let down by this one. Unfortunately, there just wasn't enough information on this new class of characters, and their history was somewhat left to the readers imagination. Furthermore, the smaller sub stories (like Red Wizards and such) were much more interesting than the whole story of the anciant race of elves. To bad, it had promise.
