The Temptation Of Elminster (1999) - Plot & Excerpts

En esta tercera entrega de la serie sobre Elminster, la narración es muy episódica, apareciendo varios personajes secundarios que ocupan más o menos el mismo número de páginas que Elminster (puede que más) y que finalmente realizan bien poco para el desarrollo de la trama.Una lectura interesante en ciertos momentos, pero que está muy lejos de la primera entrega, Elminster: La Forja De Un Mago, lo que no es decir mucho.{Más detalles de la serie en mi reseña del cofre inicial: Elminster: La forja de un mago, Elmnster en Myth Drannor y La tentación de Elminster}

This book moves the story of Elminster ahead several centuries. He begins in stasis trapped in a tomb freed he finds magic has become unreliable and must survive on his wits and the skills he picked up earlier in his life. Elminster undergoes further magical training by my a wicked sorceress named The Lady of Shadows. He becomes her court wizard when she takes over the realm of Galadorna. This book isn't so much about Elminster vs some evil, it is more about the effect Elminster has on his surroundings, and he becomes aware of how important his role is on the Realms

What do You think about The Temptation Of Elminster (1999)?

For me, personally, the plot just bounces around way too much, involving too many random characters that in the end server barely any purpose whatsoever.
