It will be nice to see characters from this book again. |

Other than Blackstaff, this was the only book in the wizards series that totally captured me while I was reading it.
Kudos for an excellent book. |

I've wanted to read the book since I saw the cover, and I'm glad it lived up to the expectations. It's so nice when a new author (or an experienced author, I'm not picky) actually does his homework, and it's especially nice when they then just blend it in. The way the Tuigan were handled, the introduction of a new lythari culture, the hints of fallen empires, it was all nicely handled. I agree with whoever said above that game elements were blended in nicely so that they didn't hit you over the head with them.
It took me a while to decide what I thought about the flowering tree scene, since it at first seemed like a blatantly obvious Return of the King rip-off. I think the reason I finally decided I didn't mind was the hag character that played off the tree in the scene was so completely different from anything in Tolkien that it was ok. But if she'd been anyone else, I think I'd have disliked the scene greatly. |
Doggedly converting 3e back to what D&D should be...
Sigh... And now 4e as well. |

PPS. I wish you had put the phrasebook in the beginning because I didn't notice it until the end . :)
Duly noted. If it comes up again, I'll tell the editor.
Would just like to point out that Mark S. was true to his word here, as the phrasebook is at the beginning of "Sentinelspire".
KUDOS and as well Frostfell was an excellent read. Am enjoying Sentinelspire 80 pages in so far also. |

A nice book. I had fun reading it! It's good to see how a lesser wizard can still manage to rise above an impasse, with seemingly insufficient magic on hand, facing villains almost as old as time.
I have a question, Mark. I find that hag who sucked fish bones and wanted to eat the humans quite mysterious and interesting. Is she your own creation? Did she appear in other books? Why is she afraid of the belkagen? Can you tell me more about her?
