This ended what I found to be a so-so series. I may have felt differently had I started with a different Elminster series and had a little more background info on the setting, as this didn't feel like a trilogy one can easily jump into. I play D&D so I know of the Forgotten Realms setting, but I frequently felt the need to look some things up for clarification. Overall entertaining, I may give this one another try after reading some earlier Elminster stories.
Terrible. All three books in this trilogy are so awful it's hard to decide which one is the worst. But, my nod goes to All Shadows Fled. It's bad. This author is a good writer. He writes well. But the awful content, ridiculousness, predictability and banality of the characters and story outweigh any positive measure good writing provides. Do not read this book or the others in the trilogy. They're bad. If you want better Realms reading, stick with early Salvatore, Boyd and Kemp. Avoid Greenwood's books. I've regrettably read five of his and they're all terrible. Also avoid Denning's Avatar series. They're also terrible.
adventurous
funny
mysterious
tense
fast-paced
mostly not very good, but the one chapter with Storm at the dinner bumped it up a star

How did this ever get published? Scattered, confusing and at times none existent plot. Too many characters to keep straight. Awkwardly written.
And why is this a trilogy? It has nothing to do with the first two books, except featuring some of the same character.
Worst novel ever.
