Good Forgotten Realms anthology but not the best........2004-05-21

This book is good if you havn't read any of the other Realms books. If you have all ready red the other books don't bother to read this because there is only one new story in it. The extra story is still good because it is writen by r.A. Salvatore.
The best story is by Christie Golden and its about Jander Sunstar who is an elvish vampire. Every short story I have read about Jander has been exelent. The only real complaint I have with the book is the stories from The Realms of the Deep. Those stories wern't very interesting and couldn't hold my attention.

Basically a bunch of repeats, but one new story.......2003-11-23

I bought this book primarily to get the R.A. Salvatore story that appears in it. This story is the only first-appearing story in the collection. The others are all reprints of stories that have appeared in the various "Realms of..." anthologies over the past decade or so. I will only review some of the other stories, since they have all appeared previously.

"Empty Joys" by Salvatore is the final story in the book, but I review it first since it is the only new story. This is another tale of Artemis Entreri and Jarlaxle adventuring together. In this case, they join up with a band of highwaymen. Salvatore gives some tantalizing information regarding the nature of the relationship between the two fighters, giving some insight into how they regard one another. It seems that Jarlaxle might not be quite so trusting and cavalier toward Artemis as some readers might have thought.

"Rite of Blood" by Elaine Cunningham tells a story of a young drow female being subjected to her test of adulthood. The exposition was a bit long compared to a very abrupt resolution, but the treachery and deadly efficiency of the drow is driven home. My favorite part of this story is the mention of the drow Jarlaxle, suggesting to me that this story takes place further in the past than Salvatore's works. Other of Salvatore's characters appear and are good to meet again from a different writer.

"Elminster at the Magefair" by Ed Greenwood is an okay story, though the end is just unsatisfying. Again, there is great characterization and development early, only to suffer a brief conflict and resolution. Basically, Elminster is tricked into collecting a particular item, later being attacked in something of a robbery attempt. But the reader is left wondering about the backstory of the robber and the item(s) he was after.

"And the Dark Tide Rises" by Keith Strohm is a good story. A young man is lured by a sea elf to the shore and tasked with a mission. After completing his mission, he manages to get into some trouble trying to revisit said elf. The end is a pyrrhic victory at best. This story was very well-written, with good characterization and exposition.

"The Rose Window" by Monte Cook is just great. A priest acquires a special window for his abbey from another being torn down. He and his assistant begin seeing things in the glass, and things get progressively worse from there. Cook did a great job of writing a Lovecraftian story in the Realms setting. The ending makes it so rewarding.

"Red Ambition" by Jean Rabe is a good tale of some Red Wizards of Thay. The typical backstabbing and underhanded reversals of this treacherous group are all highlighted. However, though they are skilled at deception, are they the best? Rabe gives a good accounting for those who might think otherwise.

"The Greatest Hero Who Ever Died" by J. Robert King is another winner. Telling of a scheming and murderous plot that brought low a well-respected knight, King draws in the reader with a god plot and good characters. The tale takes place in a lonely tavern on a cold winter's night, told by a traveler. The tale takes place in the not-too-distant past, with something of a twist before all is done. Another great ending.

Excellent Anthology.......2007-08-06

This is a collection of 15 short stories Ms. Cunningham has produced over the years. Three of them are published here for the first time and the others have been published in various "Realms of" anthologies and Dragon magazine. I found this to be a very enjoyable collection and highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys the Forgotten Realms series. One caveat, while these are all wonderful tales if does help if the reader is familiar with the Forgotten Realms, especially Ms. Cunningham's works. Here is a listing of each of the stories in the anthology and a little bit about what I thought of each.

#1 - The Knights of Samalar - This story helps to give some closure to the events of the final Harpers novel "Thornhold". This was an excellent story with an intriguing cast of characters. While "Thornhold" is one of the few books by Ms. Cunningham that I have not read, it stood well on its own.

#2 - The Bargain - This story takes place following the events in "Elfshadow". Danilo Thann and Arilyn Moonblade are great characters because they both have such intriguing histories. I enjoy Danilo's and Arilyn's banter, it makes for a very enjoyable read.

#3 - Elminster's Jest - While this is not a short story, but a ballad, it is still very entertaining. It kept me giggling for quite some time.

#4 - The More Things Change - This story gives a little history on my favorite of Ms. Cunningham's characters, the moon elf, Elaith Craulnober. It goes back and gives the reader and little insight into how Elaith came to be who he is today. Think, "Batman Begins" in a very condensed form.

#5 - The Direct Approach - This story centers around Lirel, the drow from the "Starlight and Shadows" series. I am not as familiar with this series as I am the rest of Ms. Cunningham's work but it was entertaining none the less. I really enjoyed the ending. Word to the wise, never under estimate a scantily clad barbarian with a really big sword.

#6 - Secrets of the Blood, Spirits of the Sea - This was probably my favorite story of the series. I have always enjoyed "origin" type stories where we find out how a particular race came to be. I found myself really caught up in the story and thought the ending, while sad, was fantastic. After reading this one, I immediately went back and read it again.

#7 - The Great Hunt - This is another story featuring Elaith and Arilyn. This time Danilo is absent and you get to witness the interaction between Arilyn and Elaith. On the surface they seem polar opposites but they have more in common than they care to admit.

#8 - Speaking with the Dead - This is another entertaining story involving Danilo, Arilyn, and Elaith. This time Danilo comes to Elaith's rescue. I enjoyed the scene where you get to see a little of Elaith's persona behind the cool facade.

#9 - Stolen Dreams - This the same story as "Speaking with the Dead", but from another characters point of view. You get some interesting back story on some the nobles of Tethyr.

#10 - Fire is Fire - This was the darkest story in the anthology. I love first person narration and from what I have heard it can be difficult to pull off, but Ms. Cunningham does a stellar job. The story is told from the point of view of two combatants in the siege of WaterDeep (for those of who have not read City of Splendors, I highly recommend it) that are battling each other. The ending left me speechless for a few moments. Tales of war are not as glorious as they might seem.

#11 - Possessions - Ms. Cunningham penned this as her first and only ghost story to date. It is certainly dark and rather depressing. I enjoy stories where the ghost doesn't realize he or she is a ghost until later. This is also a story of actions and their consequences with a nice spell battle to boot!

#12 - A Little Knowledge -What would you do if you knew the potential outcomes to every situation? These characters are from the counselors and Kings series. Again, I am not as familiar with these characters as I am with others but that did not detract from the story whatsoever.

#13 - Games of Chance - This story features Elaith again. Aside from "The More Things Change", this is my second favorite Elaith tale. You get a little taste of the rage that Elaith keeps chained away inside him. He releases a little in this story with deadly effect.

#14 - Tribute - This story takes place long before WaterDeep was established. It was a great story with the "maiden dragon sacrifice" theme but with a twist. Scenes from the movie "DragonSlayer" came to mind while I was reading this story.

#15 - Answered Prayers - This is another story featuring Lirel and her companions. I enjoy stories where characters grow. I am definitely going to finish the Starlight and Shadows trilogy get more back story on these characters.

Average and disappointing at the same time.......2007-07-08

The Best of the Realms III is a collection of short stories by Elaine Cunningham set in the Forgotten Realms. There are a total of 15 shorts in this anthology, three of which are brand new. The others have all appeared in either other Wizards of the Coast anthologies or Dragon magazine. As with past anthologies I will say a little bit about each story, but won't go into too much detail - mainly due to the time it would take to fully review each story.

The stories that appear in this anthology are:

#1 - The Knights of Samalar - This story is billed as the story that is supposed to tie up loose ends from the novel Thornhold (Harpers Series #16). This is an OK story. It feels as though it jumps around too much. The Characters are largely as I remember them. This story may suffer, due o the fact that it's a continuation of a story first published in 1998, so lo of events in it were foggy to me. 3 out of 5

#2 - The Bargain - This is a fun story to read. This is how Danilo should act. The pace of this story is spot on. As with most Danilo stories there is some humor mixed in as well. Not much in terms of character development, but the overall story does have a mission and accomplishes that mission very well. 4 out of 5

#3 - Elminster's Jest - This is one of the `stories' billed as new for this anthology. Sadly, it's not a story at all. It's a one page song. I honestly have no idea why this was included, maybe just to say another piece of the anthology was `new'. 1 out of 5

#4 - The More Things Change - A very interesting story involving Elaith. This story gives the reader quite a bit of background information on him in a short time. This story focuses more on character development than plot. While the plot is ok, it feels as though it plays second fiddle to Elaith's development. I would have loved to see a full length novel based on these events. 4 out of 5

#5 - The Direct Approach - This is a story that focuses on Liriel. I had a hard time really grasping the plot of this story. I just wasn't that interested in the events, or the second character that was introduced. The more I read it the more apathetic I became. 2 out of 5

#6 - Secrets of the Blood, Spirits of the Sea - This may very well be my favorite story of the anthology. It accomplishes many things, and explains a great deal about the Realms. Of course, this may or may not be true, being that the story is told as a story. The main character in this story is very good, and there aren't many wemic characters in books or stories. This story was a very good journey. 5 out of 5

#7 - The Great Hunt - Not a bad story, but the ending was very clichéd. The characters are the same fare from most of Ms. Cunningham stories. There was a moment in this story that could have advanced one of the characters, but sadly it wasn't taken and the story became flat. 3 out of 5.

#8 - Speaking with the Dead - Decent story with a good twist at the end. The characters largely held true to their past actions in previous stories. A solid plot and sub-plot. There is nothing really earth shattering with this story, it's just a solid story and mildly entertaining. 4 out of 5

#9 - Stolen Dreams - This story is essentially the same story as above, but from a different point of view. My biggest complaint with this one is if it's written to be the same but from a different point of view - it should cover the same time frame. Sadly, it comes up short. It almost feels as though there are a few pages missing. A solid story and characters, but I just feel like something was missing. 2 out of 5

#10 - Fire is Fire - Ms. Cunningham states this is her favorite story of this anthology. While mildly interesting, having a story told from dueling points of view, it by no means captured me that much. While interesting in spots I feel it could have been much better. Certainly, an interesting idea, but the end product is merely average. 3 out of 5

#11 - Possessions - In the blurb before this story, Ms. Cunningham states this is a dark tale and a ghost story as well. I think that does this story an injustice as it forces the reader to go into it with a preconceived notion. While this story is an average story, there seems, at times, to be a really good story hiding beneath it's surface. It felt incomplete and the ending seemed rushed and disjointed to me. Nothing special about this story. 2 out of 5

#12 - A Little Knowledge - This is probably my second favorite story of this anthology. It's a solid story, with a definite plot. The characters are well written and I didn't have a hard time becoming interested in them. I really enjoyed how the plot didn't seem forced, it just happened. Overall, a fun story to read. 5 out of 5.

#13 - Games of Chance - To me, this was just an average story. Some of the events in this story made next to no sense to me. It was like they came out of the blue for shock effect. Even then though, they weren't that shocking, they were more confusing. Elaith's character in particular did some things that didn't make much sense. 3 out of 5

#14 - Tribute - This is another of the stories that is billed as brand new. However, at three and a half pages, it's barely worth reading. This story came across to me as some one saying "Hey, we need another two story, pound something out quick." There really is no purpose to this story and I am not really sure why it is included here. There's not much chance for a reader to connect at all to anything here. 2 out of 5

#15 - Answered Prayers - This is billed as the long awaited story of what happened to Liriel after the Starlight and Shadows trilogy. While the writing is good and the characters are solid. I had a hard time connecting with the events of the story. Especially the end of the story when Liriel casts a spell... those entire events seemed wrong and forced. Also, Liriel didn't seem like the character I remember her being during the previous trilogy. Not a bad story, but it is certainly not the best that this anthology has to offer either. 3 out of 5

As a whole this anthology is average. There are certainly a few very good stories, Secrets of Blood, Spirits of Sea and A Little Knowledge, but there are also (in my opinion) some clunkers as well, Elminster's Jest comes to mind. The variety of stories is decent, yet it seems it could have been so much better. I feel slightly cheated on a couple of the stories. But, such is life.

As far as anthologies go, this one is about average. The vast majority of the stories can be found in different anthologies and the two `real' stories (I don't count Elminster's Jest as a story) do not necessitate purchasing this book. If you're a fan of the Forgotten Realms and have yet to read all these stories it may be worth it to pick it up, but if you already have the other anthologies you may want to check with a friend or the library.

One of the Realms' Best.......2007-06-15

As a long time fan of Elaine Cunningham, I was delighted to see the release of this collection. This anthology was every bit as enjoyable as I had hoped. Catching up with some of my favorite characters from all of the Forgotten Realms was a real pleasure, as was revisiting the tales I had previously read in other anthologies.
I was thrilled to see some of the loose ends from Thornhold tied up in "The Knights of Samular." I was glad to see the good hearted but naïve Algorind come into his own and the treacherous Sir Gareth revealed. I also loved the additional information on Ashemmi, one of my all-time favorite personalities in the Realms.
"Answered Prayers" was an answer to my prayer that I would get a chance to see what became of Liriel. This story was fun, I particularly enjoyed the way Liriel handled the situation with the hunters. Also, Liriel's companions piqued my interest and certainly left me wanting more. Most important though, we see where Liriel is 10 years after Fyodor's death and how his death has shaped her life up to this point and the tough decision she has to make.
Elaith Craulnober adds much to any tale and these are no exception. "The Great Hunt" gives us a rare glimpse of Elaith actually using magic, an ability that he often keeps hidden from others. This story also shows the depth of feeling Elaith has for Arilyn Moonblade, the daughter that should have been his. In "Games of Chance," we see Elaith's continued struggle with the moonblade that rejected him, and his hopes and fears for his daughter Azariah. This story further examines the dichotomy of Elaith's character and reminds us of how truly dangerous he is.
"Fire is Fire" first appeared in the Threat from the Sea Antholgy and still stands as one of my favorite stories. Reading this one again was a joy, the dual perspective of the sahuagin warrior and the young mage was excellent. Seeing through the eyes of the sahuagin was an interesting experience, and to me it was quite amazing that Elaine could so easily step into such an alien mindset and make it feel real.
Elaine Cunningham is an excellent author; the Songs and Swords, Starlight and Shadows, and Counselors and Kings trilogies are some of the best published in the Forgotten Realms setting. Her short stories are excellent, and this collection brings together the best of them along with some new tales that give us the opportunity to catch up with old friends.

It's... adequate?.......2007-06-01

Most of the stories are reprints; I'm going to just review the ones new to me (Dragon reprints, brand-new never-published-before stories).

I think I belong to the minority when I say that I never made a major fuss about the loose threads in THORNHOLD (largely because I found the novel rather indifferent). As a result, the short story "Knights of Samular" is probably wasted on me. Despite or because of this, it seems a little flat to me. The magical compulsion-to-dispel-doubts reads like a plot device designed to save space; the info-dumps about how Sir Gareth might've avoided detection all these years sound almost word-for-word like the author's answers on message boards. I feel I'm not reading a story so much as an author's Q&A via the characters' mouths.

The author notes that "Possessions" is "such a dark tale that some people have difficulty equating it with the mild-mannered soccer mom I appear to be." Errr. I mean, yeah, it involves death and horrible magic and necromancy, but I can't say I find any of the descriptions or the story as a whole particularly disturbing. Most of it's pretty standard fare, actually. I must be missing some hidden core of darkness and the fault, I'm sure, is entirely mine. I'll go play some Silent Hill 3 now and muse over it while watching an explicit cutscene of the protagonist regurgitating a god fetus.

"Stolen Dreams" purports to give a "different point of view" and, while I suppose it does do that, I can't say I've learned any new insight to the story that adds to what I learned from "Speaking with the Dead." All that "Stolen Dreams" shows is what I already know from the other short story and DREAM SPHERES: Sophie/Isabeau is a selfish and nasty brat with no redeeming qualities whatsoever. The author's introduction cites the "six blind men with an elephant" parable, but I'm not sure this retelling -- while interesting -- adds anything to the picture. It's the same blind man, at best, and he still think the elephant's head is a pot.

I found it mildly amusing that a scene in "The Great Hunt" where Elaith describes and dresses Arilyn's shoulder-to-elbow wound is almost word-for-word identical to a scene in Elaine Cunningham's other title, SHADOWS IN THE DARKNESS where an older elf, Ian Forest, does the same for the protagonist Gwen (yes, it's also "not as bad as it looks"; yes, it's also a shoulder-to-elbow gash; no, there're no severed arteries or damage to the muscles, either). Wouldn't have noticed if I hadn't just recently reread it, but there it goes.

"Game of Chance" is, for me, the most satisfying one of the bunch and one of the few that can stand alone and feel complete. It deals with the concept of manipulating magic with non-magical mechanism, and I always enjoy magic versus pseudo-science conflict in fantasy. The dynamics between Elaith and his hitherto undeveloped daughter Azariah are curious, and beg for a further story, which unfortunately probably won't happen.

"Answered Prayers" is my second favorite in the anthology. It's entertaining and it adds, I think, a new insight to the character of Liriel, though I can't help but feel that the theme of boorish thug accosting/sexually harrassing a female character in a tavern and then challenging her to a duel is getting a little stale (see "The Bargain" and ELFSHADOW).

The editorial work on this anthology is, incidentally, on the abysmal side. The table of contents lists all the wrong page numbers and typos abound everywhere.

Truly Ed Greenwood, for better and for worse........2005-09-14

While Best of the Realms Book II contains some interesting tales, it is mostly for fans of both the Forgotten Realms and Ed Greenwood's writing. Where the stories themselves are intriguing, a casual reader may quickly and easily find themselves lost due to Realms concepts and terminologies which are not explained. This is compounded by Greenwood's writing style which is excessively fanciful, with adjectives and adverbs used recklessly with every turn of phrase. While Greenwood is far from a bad author, neither is he easy to digest.

Authoring aside, the short stories themselves differ greatly in theme and genre. This is refreshing and is exactly what I like in an anthology. Sadly, as is Greenwood's penchant, several stories seem written solely to spotlight the characters he created, most notably Elminster and Storm. Other than examples in character study, these particular tales fall deathly short on substance. Luckily, Ed Greenwood has the whole of the Realms to write about and this is where his stories truly shine.

The best reason of all to read this book is Ed Greenwood's new tale 'The Long Road Home' which gives us a glimpse at the rough times the kingdom of Cormyr went through after the fall of it's beloved King Azoun IV. As a fan of the Realms, I found the subject inticing and the story was one of the few I felt real satisfaction after having read. It is also one of the more accessible stories for readers fairly new to the Realms.

The Best of the Realms Book II contains both exhilerating and exasperating stories. While some felt as if they were drifting aimlessly (and at times very slowly) towards a lacklustre finish, several had me truly entwined in the telling until the end. I only wish every end was fulfilling.

The Master of the Realms.......2005-07-28

This book contains a nice selection of short stories written by Ed Greenwood, the creator of the Forgotten Realms. This is a curious collection of shorts. Some of his best short stories are included in this collection, while others are but strange and wondrous oddities. This is an eclectic but satisfying mix. The short story seems to be the ideal fit for Greenwood's writing style. These are excellent stories that paint a beautiful picture of the Forgotten Realms, and the folk who call it home.
