[QUOTE="Goonalan, post: 8319194, member: 16069"] [B]#129 Shadow's Witness by Paul S Kemp (Sembia 2) Read 24/6/21 to 26/6/21[/B] [ATTACH type="full" width="185px" alt="IMG_3255.JPG"]138942[/ATTACH] Now that's more like it... Maybe I'm a simple soul but this is exactly the sort of thing that I want to read here, although let's get a few caveats in first. I may have skipped it but Erevis Cale looks to me to be a middle-aged, or at least 40-something year old feller, and so his love/obsession with the very young Taz seems, well... I understand what the author was aiming for but... creepy. Obviously times have changed but still, I almost don't get how this part of the story got retained, Erevis (surely) could have been a father figure with very little lost. So, ignore this stuff as best you can, if you want. Also- "Dark!" I equally like and dislike the way in which the author has turned "Dark!" into the catch-all epithet used to describe all situations that are vaguely, well... "Dark!" "Dark!", is just what people say in Selgaunt (and maybe further afield) although maybe it's just the cool folk that say "Dark!", street slang- that kind of thing. I even have a favourite "Dark!" from the novel, the "Dark!" in question has more L's in it, and you are going to have to read it to find it. So, the rest... The rest is the best Forgotten Realms novel that I have read for months, there's Erevis & Jak, there are villains- including Yrsillar, the demon, and a few of his lesser shadow demon chums. The demons are very cool- and having read this I now have a better way to describe the wounds and hurt they cause- love that. Same for a bunch of other things, in fact this is basically a scenario (or version) of something I want to stat out and try to run/DM. Nice plot, nice enemies, great environs- rooftops, thieves guild, sewers, Avernus et al. The way that Erevis finds the light, I mean- "Dark!" and becomes a Champion of Mask. This is all just so wonderfully take-able, what I have read here will change my game- which is exactly what I want from these books. I'm also can't wait to get to the other Cale books now, so this one did its job- and then some. Read- a "Dark!" cracker. Stay safe and well. Cheers goonalan [/QUOTE]
