[QUOTE="Goonalan, post: 8117229, member: 16069"] [B]#103 The Lost Library of Cormanthyr by Mel Odom (Lost Empires 1) Read 27/10/20 to 30/10/20[/B] [ATTACH type="full" width="186px"]128067[/ATTACH] And it's a corker, and what a relief after the last series- although, fingers-crossed the others in this series can get close to this one. There's a ranger (Baylee), but he's not a drow, and he has a good heart- and the skills to pay the bills, likewise his wizard mentor (Golsway) is too cool for school, and just ask anyone they'll all tell what wonderful people the pair are. The ranger is Indiana Jones, only with an Azymuth Bat (Xuxa) and she's sooooo cool- and with a telepathic bond with our hero ranger. There are Waterdeep watch style detectives- and they're cool too, especially Cordyan- a strong female that doesn't have to use sex to sell her authority, that's not to say she's not attractive. But y'know- smart first, which is switch up for some of these novels. There's a lich (Shallowsoul), and he's bad to the bone; there's a drow (Krystarn)- and she's a deceiver, and a bunch of hobgoblins with a semi-cool chief. The lost library is the treasure, and it's a far from straight chase to the end. There are cool places to visit, cool secondary and subsidiary characters (including pirates- I love a good pirate); there are great scenes- some of which I am going to steal- the next time my PCs are investigating a wreck I'm going to have a pod of whales turn up and scoop up the remains of the sunken ship. The story just works, there are no spare parts- a little marking time but all to good intention- we're building a nice guy here, one that the reader is going to want to win. He's a bit bond- with his various groovy skills and specialist tools- including the above mentioned Xuxa, who can read minds! It's just a very well written book, a great hook, great character development and rising tension and a beautifully thought out ending- I am gagging to see if there's a sequel to this one in the series, even if it is written by someone else- please be as good as this one. Probably in the top 10 of the 100 or so I've read so far. Mel Odom, I salute you. Great work. Read! Stay safe and well. Cheers goonalan [/QUOTE]
