Related Book Reviews Articles
When you are young and trying to figure out what you want to do in life, adventure is always an exciting possibility. That is what these young clergy, swordsmen, foresters and magi have decided they want to do. But how do you get started?
Florin, a forester, by luck, happens to save the King when he is attacked by outlaws. His reward is to receive a charter to become adventurers. Their first assignment is to go to the Haunted Halls of Eveningstar and report what they find. Seems like an easy task, but in the background there schemes going on to make sure they do not return.
Florin is the leader of Doust, Semoor (clergy), Jhessil (magi), and Islif (swordswoman. With their combined talents and skills they set off to their first adventure. There is a lot of fighting, running and bizarre events for them to experience. What seemed a simple task has become a fight for their lives and the kingdom. Someone is trying to stop them from discovering what is hidden in the Haunted Halls of Eveningstar.
Ed Greenwood has a superb start for his series “The Knights of Myth Drannor.” It is well written and keeps you on your toes with all of the action and mysteries involved, he still has made the story easy to follow. Besides the five adventurers, Ed has woven other characters into the plot to keep the suspense going. The next book, “Swords of Dragonfire” came out in August 2007 and I am hoping it will be as good as this book was.
