The Shadow Spreads

The Time of Troubles had almost passed. The chaos of spilled blood, lawless strife, monsters unleashed, and avatars roaming Faern was reaching an end.

However, not so Those Who Walk in Shadow.

The dreaded and insidious Shadowmasters realize that they have one last chance to seize control while chaos wrecks havoc on all of the Realms, and in doing so seal the fate of not just their archenemy Elminster, but all of Mystra's minions as well.Darkness threatens to envelop all Faern.The shadows loom.

I am in the military and always busy. I had to take it in sections.

mediocre at best

much the same as the previous two books the writing in this was pretty darn awful. Ed Greenwood is an amazing World Builder but not so much of a novelist. I will say however, that the ending to this book was superior to the previous two so I'll give it an overall better rating. still pretty bad though.

A bit of a stretch

There is no real plot, simply turmoil without end or purpose. No cohesion between other books of the series, or larger Elminster saga. Voice acting was solid.
