I remember I got halfway through Elminster Must Die before becoming too bored to continue. It's one of the few books I have ever left unread, matter of fact.

Still, I might as well go back and give it another shot. Sounds like this payoff is going to be pretty important.

;)

Oh you just had to go and not spoilter tag that, didn't you?




...and I'd have looked anyway, so it doesn't matter.


So...hardcover? Softcover? Wasn't sure how this latest one would be released.

Judging by the fact that the name is a different color, the OP most likely tried out the poor man's spoiler by making it the same color as the background. He just didn't realize that there are a lot of different background/themes on this site.

It's a hard cover btw...

Manshoon is still bat**** cray cray. Shades make an apperance. Drow are getting slaughtered. The nobles of Cormyr are still a bunch of self important ****. Mirt of course is taking a bath in wine with two play pretties.

At chapter 6...

Count me jealous you've got your hands on that book!

I gave myself a gold star for quoting you and deleting the spoiler text without reading it. No more spoilers for me until I've read the damn book!

Just finished the book. All that I can say is WOW!!           








Show
The Simbul sacrificed her life to save Elminster. El goes on a rampage, he "kills" the black dragon Hesperdan, he "kills" the Chosen of Mystra, Manshoon, yes Manshoon was a wielder of Silver Fire at one time. El gives the Silver Fire that the Simbul gave to him to restore Mystra. Mystra lives yet again.

El even says to storm that a certain someone isn't dead.

I feel happier than I have in along time," she murmered. "What with Mystra restored, and Manshoon no more." "A Manshoon is not what he was," El corrected her. "He survives, after a fashion, and there are more of him. Like many a wealthy merchant who trades in a large handful of lands, he has many Manshoons." Storm winced at the pun and lifted a hand from her harp strings in the glade. "This is next, for me. And for you?" "There remains," Elminster said gravely, "the matter of Larloch."

Ed has already started "setting the Realms right." (I bought and read Elminster Enraged on Saturday.) He pushed more change in that novel than I really expected -- I think the decision for the Sundering probably caused that.





Show
Mystra has returned, and BTW, she is at least part, the older Mystra, based upon her self description.  Not sure how powerful she is. I do NOT expect to see The Simbul again; she had her heroic exit. Mansoon is temporarily gone; but stated to be likely diminished in power when he returns. Cormyr appears to be set up for a change, probably to a constitutional monarchy. Lots fewer War Wizards, and Storm was networking with nobles for a new deal. Mirt appears to be settled permanently in Cormyr. I don't think we will see Elminster again until the Herald is published.

Finished this one this past weekend.  Once it hits a point, you will not be able to put it down.  Must say it was about time for this to happen. Laughing

1479 DR, to my knowledge. A recent Ed quote mentioned as much.
