[QUOTE="Goonalan, post: 7864336, member: 16069"] [B]#031 The Chaos Curse by RA Salvatore (Cleric 5) Read 28/11/19 to 30/11/19[/B] [ATTACH]116453[/ATTACH] Book 5- and a bit of a surprise, a nice surprise mind you. We start with the usual crew of good guys doing their thing- tying up the loose ends after the last jolly in to Castle Trinity, Cadderly wants to recover the ancient Red Dragon's hoard- he has big plans for the Edificant Library it seems. Also tagging along is Dorigen (ex-Mage of Talona) who has latterly seen the light (although she's been mulling over her decision for the last two novels) the ex-evil Wizard is looking to serve her penance and (if possible) start again. Then... then... we stop following Cadderly (and the Bouldershoulders) and instead get to meet and greet (again) Kierkan Rufo, who thanks to Druzil (and his own stupidity/arrogance) has made changes in his life, he has Feng Shui'd the heck out of his existence and reinvented himself as a Vampire. Nice! All this and more courtesy of the Most Fatal Horror, that works too. Then there's Dean Thobicus, and the rest of the Den & Og boys- who are about to get their world turned upside down, and undead-out. Then, surely a bit more Cadderly- after all, he's the hero of this story/quintology… but no! Then Danica (my love, my love) and Dorigen pitch up at the Edificant Library and it all gets a little bit frantic, and glorious. Rufo at last grabs the nemesis mantle, and starts acting all dark and brooding- at bloody last, huzzah! I didn't guess that we would be going here, and that the annoying bastard Rufo- who I have been hissing at (as much for his lack of backbone) for the last four novels, would at last grab some power and turn out to be the End of Level Bad Guy. I really enjoyed this. Then, of course, in the last 100 or so pages its Cadderly (& Deneir) & the Bouldershoulders (joined by others) versus all of the undead Priests (= Vampires/Spawn, and Zombies), Druzil the Imp (easily outclassed, as usual) all in the thrall of the afore-praised Rufo. As usual it's a corker- although with some samey-same here and there, the Dwarves are just plain indestructible, but hey... that's been the way for a good long while so I'm not going to start complaining now. The Bouldershoulders, of course, get to steal the show- at least every now and then, their comedy double act has reached titanic proportions- they're giving it 110% on the slapstick, and now with even more one-liners- I'm waiting on their new Christmas DVD. Spoilers- Pikel is a Doo-dad, Danica and Dorigen die, and Cadderly lives happily ever after- although the price he pays makes all of the other struggles he faces in the five novels pale in to insignificance. Read! A very good series of novels, you should probably read these too, there's certainly plenty that I'll keep in mind for my game. [/QUOTE]
