A review by ghostmuppet
Canticle by R.A. Salvatore

4.0

I read this series when it first came out and enjoyed it then, but not as much as some of the other material i was reading at the time (which included Drizzt books, Dragonlance and David Eddings).
This is a light fun book, following a talented young priest in a library. The library is the target of a Chaos Curse, and the priests start to do weird things. Our hero, along with a couple of Dwarven brothers, a druid and a monk, help to save the day.
This is a pure D&D book, with some well known spells from the second edition being used (warp wood, healing etc). The characters are classic D&D as well, as well as the bad guys (imps, necromancers, skeletons etc).
All in all, this was a fun and still holds up today.
