I finally got around to finishing this series. I took a 4 year break inbetween the 2nd and 3rd book, so the plot seemed a bit jarbled and characters seemed to be just tossed in for flavor. Often enough, the books in Forgotten Realms need to have a bunch of loose ends tied up at the end of a ser...

While on a quest for answers about the mysterious cloak bequeathed to him, Teldin Moore tries to help a dragon take control of the great ship Spelljammer before a major battle is ignited. Original.
I generally have very positive things to say about Elaine Cunningham’s literature, and Tangled Webs is no exception. And, no, this isn’t because of “fanboyism”, or whatever one might call it. There is a reason that Elaine’s novels are almost universally regarded as the cream of the crop of Forgot...
