Rating: - Delving further into woodland mysteries
The second book of the Cleric Quintet picks up where Canticle finished. Elbereth, prince of the elves of the woods of Shilmista, comes to the Edificant Library seeking information concerning enemies who have been entering his woodland home. While he leaves with little extra knowledge, he does go with Danica (a monk), Cadderly and Rufo (both priests of Deneir), who go to help the seemingly arrogant elf.
When they get to the borders of Shilmista, they realize that the battle has already ... Read More
Rating:  - Volume 2...
While a some elements of In Sylvan Shadows seem to be, ahem, borrowed from Tolkien, there are also concepts that the fantasy genre at large could do well to to emulate. Take Rufo - he's not "OMG pure evil!!!", he's just a coward. Cadderly struggles with his humanity more in this volume, whether his mercy is a strength or a weakness. And, if nothing else, it's very nice to read a novel where the climax is not a dramatic duel (although there are plenty of those) but a healing spell.
Rating: - Oo oi!
Well this was quite an interesting departure from the first book of the series. I don't know why people are giving it bad reviews, but I thought it was great. Cadderly's life changes and all of a sudden he's in a forest, watching elves battle goblins and giants. The events in the first book still haunt him and affect how he considers his enemies. Cadderly is worth reading about.
All of the new characters are enjoyable to read about as well, and I found myself saddened by some of the elven ... Read More
Rating: - Salvatore does it again
This was a wonderful book, I'm not sure what else can be said.
Cadderly, first of all, is one of the most unlikely of heros. He hates violence and while he was force to kill the evil priest Barjin in Canticle (the first book in the series) that moment haunts him constantly. He isn't the usual hero who knows that killing can be justified. Cadderly is the opposite, no matter how evil the opponents he is reluctant to attack... unless that being is thretening his Danica of course.
And that brings ... Read More
Rating:  - Rumble in the Forest
The second book of the Cleric Quintet begins with the elves of the nearby forest of Shilmista seeking the aid of the keepers of the Edificant Library. Not long afterwards the group of unlikely heroes sets out to save the forest. The rest of the book chronicles the exploits of the small group that ultimately serves as the deciding factor in the war in the woods.
This book reminded me a lot of Siege of Darkness in the Drizzt series. The novel was a lot faster paced than the first novel in the series, ... Read More
