[QUOTE="Goonalan, post: 7863082, member: 16069"] [B]#030 The Fallen Fortress by RA Salvatore (Cleric 4) Read 26/11/19 to 27/11/19[/B] [ATTACH]116226[/ATTACH] Book 4- and that was quick, I got through this one in just two days- tbh that was for two reasons, firstly because it was great (and a real easy read) and secondly because I was as sick as a dog (with man-flu) and so just got home from work, ate food- took meds, and then to my bed to read-sleep-read. It's Cadderly versus Aballister time, and also time for the "I am your father (Luke)" scene- but we'll get to that. First up the gang's on the move again, and this time Shayleigh (Elf Bowkiller) and Vander (Firbolg Bigsword) are with the home team, and they're both great- normal, but great. The Bouldershoulder's are really starting to rack up the catchphrases, Danica is back to believing in her man, and Cadderly has got the bit between his teeth (the chosen of Deneir) and at the beginning of the tale suitably crazy-eyed (and crazy-talking) mad with it. Thumbs up. I dare anyone to take a drink every time Shayleigh fires her bow, I've no idea what size her quivers are ("Oo Oi") but she's chain-smoking arrows throughout, and there are (as usual) some great fights in this one, and with much more variety. Nice insights in to the action of various beasties. Here's a question- Was it a White Pudding in the snow when Aballister's Manticore and Chimera double act got stuck in to the guys halfway up the mountain? But it's the bad guys that make this one- Aballister is suitably bug-eyed mad Wizard, heading out to his man-cave/shed/extra-dimensional-show-home to fetch another monster from his menagerie to fling at the fast approaching home team. The Ghost/Revenant of Ghost is great- in truth I wanted more of this guy, he's the Zombie-looking killer from your nightmares; and then there's Fyrentennimar, the ancient Red Dragon, he's a blast- "Humble Priest." So, there's a trek to Castle Trinity, we're on the offensive, stopping en route to wake the Red Dragon and destroy Ghearufu (nasty artefact used by Ghost- last book) and in the process to put an end to the Ghost/Revenant of Ghost's wandering. Then in to the Talona fortress proper, and then pretty much a rolling maul of fights, scraps and melees for the last 100 or so pages. It's a tiny bit samey-same but the guys always seem to be moving forward, and there's new things to discover around every corner in Castle Trinity- cool traps, billions of evil humanoids, self-harm/poisoning Talona Priests and a variety of other nice things to look at. Dorigen, who has been hinting at things for a good long while, finally makes her decision to do the right thing. Then there's Aballister versus Cadderly, and you should have figured out by now how the action is going to play out, but it's very satisfying- I hope the earth opens up and swallows him... It all just works, and sings a lovely song while it's doing it, although that might have been the medication kicking in. Read! [/QUOTE]
