The Sorcerer: Return of the Archwizards, Book III (The Return of the Archwizards) ReviewCaution: Spoilers within my review, If you havent figured them out yourself, wise readers...

Ok, I liked the story. Given its scope, I should have loved it. I doubt if I ever read it again. Mystra's Chosen are too powerful and snotty for my taste! One, if not more of them should have died. Magical superheros belong in another setting. The formidable Shadowmages are easily defeated and quickly forgotten. What a shame...
At least the city of Shade was not totally destroyed. It wobbles in the desert twilight, precariously. The elves recover Evereska, predictably. Cormyr is left unharmed, and the Realms return to normal, right?! This is a classic case of boardroom writing with Troy Denning getting all the credit. He is not my favorite writer thus far. Perhaps he should try to take his time and write a good tale of the Forgotten Realms. I know he can!
I am not disappointed with the story. I think it could have been more carefully plotted and richer characterizations involved. I see Paul S. Kemp is resuming the tales of the Shadow magic. Perhaps he can do better. These fantasy novels are not a race for publication to see if they become best sellers. Let Troy Denning write Star wars novels, if he cannot handle the much loved Forgotten Realms!The Sorcerer: Return of the Archwizards, Book III (The Return of the Archwizards) OverviewThe exciting conclusion of the Return of the Archwizards trilogy.The Sorcerer concludes the Return of the Archwizards trilogy by New York Times bestselling author Troy Denning. Events in this trilogy will have great impact on other Forgotten Realms novels to come, and this particular title introduces elements of change to Forgotten Realms readers.In the blasted ruins of Tilverton, demons stalk the shadows.In Evereska and Cormyr, alliances crumble.In the sun-baked desert of Anauroch, an empire of darkness is established.In the soul of a tortured elf, the future is decided.From the author of The Summoning, The Siege, and Death of the Dragon (with Ed Greenwood), the Realms-shaking Return of the Archwizards series comes to a stunning conclusion!

The Summoning (Forgotten Realms: Return of the Archwizards, Book 1) ReviewAs a fan of the Realms and Troy Denning's books in general, I was eagerly looking forward to this book and in most regards it didn't disappoint.
The book features the return of the ancient Netherese, the escape of the Phaerimm and the endangerment of Evereska, all very interesting story areas that have been in my opinion been sadly neglected and underdeveloped in the past. In addition to these new elements the book also revolves around a tour of "The North" with the characters visiting many of the sites and areas that have been previously been bought to life in the D&D campaign expansions for the North (Dekanter, High Forest, Karse etc). To top it off the book is well written like all Troy Dennings books (though it definitely should have been longer- it needed an extra 100 pages at least to do the story justice!!), with good action scenes, strong plot and interesting characters, including the return of 'Malik' who has to be just about the funniest and coolest servant of an evil god ever featured in Fantasy.
The book also goes out of its way to incorporate the game features of the new 3rd edition game into the story, with the main character being a multiclassed sorceror and the action scenes also kinda reflecting the change in game mechanics (spells, skills etc).The Summoning (Forgotten Realms: Return of the Archwizards, Book 1) OverviewFrom the depths of the demiplane of shadow comes a new magic so mysterious it confounds even the Chosen of Mystra.From beneath the dune seas of Anauroch escapes one of Toril's most powerful and ancient evils -- the phaerimm.From Evereska, the last elven refuge on comes word of invasion.From nowhere appears a group of enigmatic sorcerers determined to destroy the phaerimm and save Evereska . . . for purposes known only to themselves.From the author of Crucible: The Trial of Cyric the Mad, Beyond the High Road, and Death of the Dragon (with Ed Greenwood) comes the most Realms-shaking event since The Threat from the Sea.
