Summary: Rumble in the Forest
Review: The second book of the Cleric Quintet begins with the elves of the nearby forest of Shilmista seeking the aid of the keepers of the Edificant Library. Not long afterwards the group of unlikely heroes sets out to save the forest. The rest of the book chronicles the exploits of the small group that ultimately serves as the deciding factor in the war in the woods.This book reminded me a lot of Siege of Darkness in the Drizzt series. The novel was a lot faster paced than the first novel in the series, Canticle. I would definitely say I enjoyed this book more than the previous one. However, I would not consider this a great novel. What I did like was the struggle for power in Castle Trinity. One thing Salvatore has a knack for is writing interesting villains. The intrigue between the evil forces truly is what drives the story. I would have said the same about the elves, but I have seen the same story in the Lord of the Rings. As for the rest of the forces of good, well its not all bad. Danica continues to be interesting and her fighting abilities are wonderfully portrayed. Ivan also continues to impress and his sarcastic attitude always makes me smile. However, Pickel is still the annoying dolt sidekick and dumb as ever. And Cadderly is what really pulls the story down. His constant whining is taken to an art form and it had me yearning for his demise through half the book. But fortunately, by the end of the book he changes his tune a little. He continues to oppose the taking of life, but he grows up and does what he can to help his friends. To me this novel, like the first, was a mixed bag. The battles scenes were much better in this book. But while the character interactions generally improved by the end of the book, parts of the book are just annoying to read. There is one thing that really bothered me. The fleecing of ideas from Tolkien does bother me and it is something I also noticed in Streams of Silver, written by Salvatore as well. I like most of Salvatore's books, but he needs to write his own story.

Summary: excelence
Review: This is by my opinion the best book in the series. After Cadderly deafeats Barjin in Canticle help is needed in Shilmista Forest by the elves. After failing to take over The Edificant Library Castle trinity decides to try to conquer the forest. so they send out the ogrillon Rangor and his troops. when they reach the forest Cadderly along with his friends are waiting. I won't tell to much but it ends in a magnificent showdown. One of the competetors being Rangor. If you've read Canticle i highly recomend continuing the series starting with the great book In Silvan Shadows.

Summary: Another fantastic Salvatore adventure
Review: This is just another great example by Salvatore of just how to write a fantasy novel. Yet again I found myself having to stay up late at night, to read the next page, the next chapter. It only took two or three nights to finish off, I just couldn't stop reading in case I missed something important. Cadderly is a totally believable character and his friends are a bunch of misfits who somehow manage to form a great friendship whilst in the midst of a horrific war. You cannot help but feel for them all and you find yourself cheering at their successes, frowning at their losses and feeling upset when they fight amongst themselves. Recommended without a second thought.

Summary: Salvatore does it again
Review: This was a wonderful book, I'm not sure what else can be said.
Cadderly, first of all, is one of the most unlikely of heros. He hates violence and while he was force to kill the evil priest Barjin in Canticle (the first book in the series) that moment haunts him constantly. He isn't the usual hero who knows that killing can be justified. Cadderly is the opposite, no matter how evil the opponents he is reluctant to attack... unless that being is thretening his Danica of course.
And that brings me to my second point, Danica and Cadderly. I have read all of Salvatore's books and never in any other series does he create such a mature relationship as there is between Cadderly and Danica. It adds a nice sense of need for action thoughout the book.
Thirdly there are the villans and semi-villans. Aballister stays in the backround while Druzil, Dorigen and Ragnor and his hordes try to overrun the forest of Shilmistra. Druzil and Dorigen use poor Kierkan Rufo (the same person Barjin used as his catalyst) Rufo is the semi-villan. I haven't read a review yet that say's he is a villan but he should be considered one. While his evil acts aren't always done of his own free will his never has the mind that maybe sacrificing himself could save dozens of others. His selfishness is what makes him a villan and his jealousy makes him a perfect scapegaot for the real bad guys. Everyone has read about a reluctant hero but the reluctant villan role isn't often played. It is a nice touch.
Now you might wonder why I only gave this only four stars and that is because though this is a great book and worthwhile read is does get tedious. For most of the book Cadderly, Danica, Elbereth (an elven prince) and the Bouldershoulder Brothers (who I just can't get enough of) are traipsing about the forest of Shilmistra, battling goblins and the like. At times there seems to be no destination but this problem is always quickly resolved. I'm probably just being picky, to tell you the truth.
Pick this one up, it is a good continuation of a great series.

Summary: Oo oi!
Review: Well this was quite an interesting departure from the first book of the series. I don't know why people are giving it bad reviews, but I thought it was great. Cadderly's life changes and all of a sudden he's in a forest, watching elves battle goblins and giants. The events in the first book still haunt him and affect how he considers his enemies. Cadderly is worth reading about.
All of the new characters are enjoyable to read about as well, and I found myself saddened by some of the elven struggles, thinking they would be annihilated. It is very interesting to read how the main character esteems himself, considering everyone around him seems to have a better use than he does. And once again, I cannot resist the Bouldershoulder brothers. I want a painting of Pikel with his pot helmet covering his face right over my fireplace!
I really got into the book later on, though, when Cadderly and his group are on the verge of truly being killed. Maybe I'm vulnerable and can't predict books like other people, but I had no idea what was going to happen.
A great read and justifies reading the whole series, in my opinion.
