Summary: It would be five stars, but for the ending....
Review: I thought the writing was excellent, classic Greenwood. The story was engaging, the characters vivid. The seven sisters really shine in this work. I had thought from the title and earlier rumors about the book that the history of the sisters would have been explained better. Instead, the book focuses on a modern day (for the Realms) conspiracy. The ending was confusing, since the entire book focused more on how the conspiracy was going than on the sisters. In the beginning they seem to stumble upon an evil group, and by the end we learn this massive effort and all its resources are for one purpose which barely ties in! I won't ruin it, but be warned.

Summary: Ed Greenwood's descent into senility
Review: I'm truly sorry to report this, but this is easily the worst book I have ever read, especially when you consider that I loved all of his other books. Spellfire was his best, dwarfing all his other works, but this book seemed to be written by a child, with seven uninteresting plotlines pasted together with flour and water rather than crazy glue.

Summary: What first year editor ripped this book up?
Review: I've seen enough hacked up stories by editors to wonder if this doesn't qualify. The story builds up just fine, but doesn't fit at all with the ending. As a matter of fact. You could burn the last 20 pages and not miss the ending at all. What's there is no good. If it was meant to be a big surprise they at least need to put a little foundation in there to support it. And the cover summary isn't even really accurate. It almost feels like someone rewrote the ending and changed up a couple of characters a'la'gatekeeper or something. Wonderful book if you skip the ending, and Ed Greenwood has had some outstanding novels to date. So, for the fan, worth the buy. For someone looking at Greenwood for the first time, go buy Cormyr or even the Elminster stuff.

Summary: Seven Sisters Under the Microscope
Review: It's a book for those interested in the characters of the seven sisters; otherwise the suspension of disbelief is precarious and a dissapointment awaits at the end. Ed Greenwood has written much better, unfortunately the seven sisters can really only collectively be found in this collection of novellas.

Summary: The Seven Sisters rock
Review: Silverfall I have to say ranks right up there with my other favorites such as the Dark Elf Trilogy. If you just sarted to look at Forgotten Realms and have heard of the seven sisters but not read much about them then I suggest you get this book. You will get to see all 7 sisters at their best. If you have seen and read most of the books about Forgotten Realm then you should already have bought this. In simple terms to all this is a most buy.

Summary: Silverfall Not for the Newcomer
Review: The history of the seven sisters led me to buy this book, and I had high hopes of discovering the mystery, and attraction that surrounds them. The book was a muddled disappointment, and I was just happy to be finished with it. The story immediately grabbed me, but then i am a sucker for the Drow. The thought of Drow infiltrating, and attempting to take over a town through magical guises was original. Sadly the story gets bogged down in too many characters, and an over abundance in the claok-and-dagger. The ending I thought fell flat, and left me very disappointed in the resolution of the story. If you are a Greenwood fan then my review is moot, but if you are a first timer to the words of the Forgotten Realms. Please pick another book, and not this one.

Summary: The Seven Sisters
Review: This book is a good source of information about the seven sisters if one is not familier to all their dealings. One thing I disliked about this books was that it was somethings confusing in story line. Otherwise I love the book. It kept moving and that is what I like to see happen. This is a good book for anyone wanting to get a little more information about how the 7 work together to get things done.

Summary: Leaves you wanting to read more!
Review: This book keeps you wanting to read more, because no where is there such a complete book on the seven sisters. The book ties itself together nicely, and also has a good ending that wasn't so predictable. You never know where the story will take you next, or who new will show up, and that's why it's lke an awsome adventure. Also some famous Forgotten Realms characters show up here and that's another reason why I like it.
