Required Reading

Life is complicated enough without getting into hotwater with federal agencies so: TAKE NOTE Many things I review I received at no charge in exchange for an honest review. Consider this as informing you that ALL things I review may have been gotten at no charge. Realistically about 40% but in order to keep things above board just assume that I got the stuff free. I do not collect information on my readers. If cookies or other tracking stuff is used on my blogs it is due to BLOGGER not ME. Apparently the European Union's new rules state I need to inform you if cookies are being use. If they are it isn't byu me, consider yourself INFORMED.
Words like, “sponsored,” “promotion,” “paid ad” or even just “ad” are clear ways to disclose that you’re being paid to share information and links so BE AWARE that some of what I write can be described as an AD by the government. BTW I will NEVER say a product is great, super or even acceptable if it isn't, whether I got it free or NOT!

Elminster: The Making of a Mage by Ed Greenwood


This puts new swash in buckling.   Elminster is driven by the untimely deaths of his family and set on a path of vengeance by the demise of his folks.   This is a coming of age in a magic laden society where gods walk the earth and shape changing is ubiquitous.

This is the first book in a series and Greenwood uses the entire book to develop the skills and character of  Elminster.   I liked that personal growth was not limited to just spells and sword play but character and patience were extolled as well.  Elminster looks to be a protagonist that will be enjoyable to follow.

This book abounds in spell casting, shape changing, sword play and thievery.  

I really enjoyed it.  (Hopefully that is not a reflection on my character.)


This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
