Elminster: The Making of a Mage by Ed Greenwood

3.0

Interesting read to get an idea of how Elminster started and some lore about Mystra. First part of the book is more fun (~before Myrjala is introduced) than the last part in my opinion, because at some point, it felt like some kind of DragonBall trope of "almost dying a lot, than becoming more powerful" (without really becoming more powerful that much) over and over.
Still enjoyed it a lot and I was actually impressed with the gender switching thing and how it was handle. I'll definitely be reading the next one soon.
