Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Excellent Anthology
This is a collection of 15 short stories Ms. Cunningham has produced over the years. Three of them are published here for the first time and the others have been published in various "Realms of" anthologies and Dragon magazine. I found this to be a very enjoyable collection and highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys the Forgotten Realms series.

I was thrilled to see some of the loose ends from Thornhold tied up in "The Knights of Samular." I was glad to see the good hearted but naïve Algorind come into his ... Read More
Rating: - It's... adequate?
Most of the stories are reprints; I'm going to just review the ones new to me (Dragon reprints, brand-new never-published-before stories).
I think I belong to the minority when I say that I never made a major fuss about the loose threads in THORNHOLD (largely because I found the novel rather indifferent). As a result, the short story "Knights of Samular" is probably wasted on me. Despite or because of this, it seems a little flat to me. The magical compulsion-to-dispel-doubts reads ... Read More
