Summary: Weak conclusion to a poor trilogy
Review: A group of nobodies goes through a series of adventures and then rises to the highest reaches of power - in other words, basically every other fantasy novel that typifies the worst of the genre. Such predictable tales, when well-written, are enjoyable, but this is just more of the same old, same old. Not recommended.

Summary: The Search for the Tablets of Fate Draws to a close!
Review: Amazing! It's hard to believe how good this book turned out after the rocky start with Shadowdale. This is a great story, a must read for anyone interested in the Realms novels. Can't wait to read prince of lies and the Crucible now :)*Spoilers if you havent read Shadowdale & Tantras* Bane and Torm are dead. Having destroyed each other in a battle at the end of tantras. Cyric is on a murderous rampage following Midnight, Adon, and Kelemvor with hopes of retrieving the Tablet of Fate they hold. Mykrul sends his men...err Zombies after Midnight, Adon, and Cyric. He has also dispatched Bhaal, god of assassins after them. Hoping to get the tablet they have as well. Midnight, Cyric, and Adon traverse across the realms trying to get to Waterdeep, Elminster, and hopefully find the last Tablet of Fate so they can restore the order in the realms. Gods will die, new gods will arise. The Realms will never be the same again. The Time of Troubles draws to an end!

Summary: you didn't expected this...
Review: an ending like this is why you bothered reading all three books. it is an ending of unbelievable happening, and a total chaos - anything you ever dreamed can happen. cheers to the writers who had the guts to make their own rules, and write lines you read again ans again and again...

Summary: Nice for beginners or younger readers
Review: An enjoyable, casual reading book. This book easily appeals to a wide variety of readers, but seems to be targetted to younger readers. I feel this book, and the whole series for that matter, was written in a fluent literary fasion with nice wording, but lacks maturity and often gets repetitve, dwelling in factors that no one wants to hear.On a positive note, the plot is very original and deserves praise for the thought that went into it. If you are a fan of dragonlance or any of the forgotten realms books, go out and buy this series. If you have a tendency to throw books out the window in frustration, or cringe at the thought of reading something you could have written in highschool, I would stray from this style of fantasy literature.

Summary: AMAZING TRILOGY!!!
Review: Definitely a great fantasy epic and one of my personal favorites, The Avatar Trilogy- Shadowdale, Tantras, and Waterdeep, is about the Time of Troubles when the Gods walked the Earth (in this case Toril). The books are so incredibly well written that the reader feels that they have been transported to another plane of existence and are actually present among the characters, seeing what they see, feeling what they feel, sensing what they sense. The authors have truly outdone themselves and have presented us with a masterpiece of literature the likes of which we have seen only in JRR Tolkien's work, RA Salvatore's The Dark Elf and Icewind Dale trilogies, and in authors Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman's Dragonlance Chronicles and Legends trilogies. Love, honor, bravery, magic, and heroes are all about. In conclusion, it's what Fantasy reading SHOULD be. A GREAT trilogy indeed and a "must read" along with James Lowder's Prince of Lies and Troy Denning's Crucible: The Trial of Cyric! DON'T MISS IT!!!

Summary: Marvelous Fantasy Novel!
Review: I am a voracious reader of all kinds of books and I must say this one truly suprised me. A lot of fantasy novels are quite predictable but this one was surely not. The ending made the entire trilogy worthwhile. Richard Awlinson, for those that don't know, is a pseudonym for the Avatar project for TSR. Troy Denning actually penned this book (published back in 89) setting the standard for the Forgotten Realms novels as well as the fantasy genre in general. Most likely, this will win the coveted Goochie Award for this year in the fantasy category and will be a major competitor for the big prize! My hat is off!

Summary: The Trilogy, not just this title...
Review: I found the Avatar Trilogy to be quite enjoyable. Particularly for gamers of the Forgotten Realms campaign setting this set of books is a must read. Aside from that, I didn't think it was bad at all, in fact I think Kelemvor Lyonsbane is possibly one of the more interesting characters I've read about in FR novels to date. He has some very interesting quirks that I will not mention to those who plan to read the book. It's an easy and quick read, the story flows well, with perhaps one slow point. Descriptive enough to give you a picture of whats going on but not overboad with wordiness and details. Cyric's story could have been done a bit better. It seems like some pages are missing, the reader never gets the full story behind what makes Cyric do what he does. Some shallow references but all in all, if there is a drawback to this series, that would be it. And it is in fact a major flaw. Make sure you read this trilogy in order.
