Articles: Fantasy Book Critic reviews The Shadowmask: Stone of Tymora Book 2
|
|
For those who found The Stowaway a bit of a disappointment, The Shadowmask promises to be a much more engaging read. Cindy Hannikman, writing for Fantasy Book Critic, describes The Shadowmask as much more balanced between action and information gathering. Even Drizzt's cameo appearance is more of a key role than a peripheral one.
You can read the entire review here.

Articles: RA Salvatore: A Tale of Revenge
|
|
Authors of tie in fiction -- especially that written around Dungeons & Dragons, always seem to be asked one question: "Do you game?" In the case of RA Salvatore, the answer is definitely "Yes". In this interview, rerollz asked RAS just what he looked for in an MMOG and what he felt were the best methods for delivering the storyline in game.
More than telling a story, I look for an MMO to give me a world that makes sense, remains consistent, and allows me to suspend disbelief easily. In other words, a world that, when I’m playing, feels like I’m really there. [RA Salvatore]
So what happens to someone who crosses RAS on a quest? Read more to find out.

Are you someone who tends to do a lot of their book shopping via Amazon.com? If so, I'd like to direct your attention to a frequently forgotten resource right here on LE: the Store.
The LE Store connects right to Amazon.com and contains books, video games and other odds and ends that might interest you, but the real magic is in the url. Go to any book in the store and click on the Amazon link, then look up at the address bar. Do you see that part on the end that says "/councilofelro-20"? Every book, every video game bought from a link containing that bit contributes money to help defray server costs for this site. With server costs running around $300 US a month, every little bit helps!
Using the LE Store to do your Forgotten Realms book shopping enables you to contribute to the upkeep of this site without costing a penny extra. Magical indeed, no?
