Elminster: The Making of a Mage

Forgotten Realms: Elminster, Book 1

By: Ed Greenwood

Narrated by: John Pruden

In ancient days, sorcerers sought to learn the One True Spell that would give them power over all the world and understanding of all magic....

The One True Spell was a woman, and her name was Mystra - and her kisses were wonderful.

It is the time before Myth Drannor, when the Heartlands are home to barbarians, and wicked dragons rule the skies. In these ancient days, Elminster is but a shepherd boy, dreaming of adventure and heroics. When a dragon-riding magelord sweeps down upon him, though, the boy is thrust into a world of harsh realities, corrupt rulers, and evil sorcerers.

With patience and grit, Elminster sets about to change all that. The result of his labors is a world reborn and a mage made.

the narrator sucked and the sound wasn't better

How did the narrator detract from the book?

The narrator did a poor job with voices and names, and was hard to understand at times.

Any additional comments?

The audio quality was terrible!

Fantastic!!!

This was hard to put down. Would give it 5 stars but the narrator reads a little faster than I like. Makes some the action sequences hard to follow in my opinion. Incredible story though. A must read for Forgotten Realms and D&D fans

DnD nerd

loved it, Brings so many characters to life. Makes alot of the rpg's make much more sense.

One of the better FR novels

I'm impressed by Ed's writing here. There's a lot of great FR lore in the story. Compared to other, much cheesier FR stories, this one outshines them. Looking forward to Elminster in Myth Drannor.

MUST READ! OR LISTEN TO RATHER !!!

I can not rightly explain to you how awesome this book is. if you are a can of D&D and love magic then this is for you
