Summary: A worthy sequel to Spellfire...
Review: ...as another trashy book. Shandril and Narm get married? I only got to page fifty this time. My goodness... they just keep on getting worse. In some respects this book was a lot better than its predecessor, i.e. the writing style, but my god, I don't need to read any more about some demigod saying, "Oh a thousand is nothing, look!" and then burning them all up. Another waste of money and trees.

Summary: one of the worst novels ever written
Review: Dungeons and dragons novels are usually bad, but this one is exceptionally bad. This novel features bad prose, irritating characters, and unbelievably stupid villains. Take for an example the beholders. These monsters are supposed to be inhumanly smart, yet they keep shooting magic at Shandril, who absorbs it and shoots it back them. They keep doing it until they entire pack is destroyed. The novel is mainly fighting, interspersed with poor dialogue. How does one feel when reading it? '"Tired. When I said I was sick of endless battle," Shandril told him grimly, "I meant it."'

Summary: Spell fire ? Bone fire ...
Review: For young readers who enjoy burning, blasting and a very predictable storyline ... I would never have succeded to fill up so many pages with SAME darn thing ...Leave it be.

Summary: Hardly worth the paper it's printed on...
Review: I don't know why I bothered after I read Spellfire and hated it. I guess I was just deperately hopeing that Greenwood manage to redeem himself...after all he is responsible for the Forgotten Realms you think he would have a lick of talent. It seems being a good game designer and a good author are two totally different subjects! This book is like any bad hollywood sequel in movies, it is basically the same as the first story with a slight change of scenery and a little time has passed. Points I would like to make are...Shandril (the heroine) is far too powerful and far too weapy! She spends about as much time crying as she does in combat, and combat never lasts that long when Shandril is present. She just wipes everything and everyone out (as if her existing powers werent enough she grows in power throughout the book). I ended up rooting for the bad guys in the end because I wanted her and her husband Narm dead. Narm is the next character I would like to chew on. I have never read of a more weakling mage character. Greenwood would have been well advised to see to it that Narm developed some magical abilities throughout the book so that he didn't always hide behind his woman. He ends up causing more trouble in battle then solving anything! The Knights of Myth Drannor are pointless characters that only appear in the book inorder to save Shandril and Narm from their own stupidity! I asked this question after reading Spellfire and I ask it now. Why was this book ever reprinted? Next time I spill something in my house, I won't run for the paper towels, I'll start tearing pages out of Spellfire and Crown of Fire to clean up the mess. At least then I would feel like I got my money's worth.

Summary: Great!! but...
Review: I have a few gripes w/ this book. First of all, Narm is one of the most annoying character ever. Couldn't he have been, just slightly less... whiny, whimpering and wussy? ^_~ Seriously, it's not too bad. I love the Hidden House, and how the characters interact. I just think the little morale Shandril yells at the lich and Narm's weakling attitude were too much. Aside from that, I really enjoyed it. It's even more action-packed than the first one.

Summary: I could hardly stand to read it
Review: I know, I know that sounds bad, and heartless, but I swear it's true. Compared to Ed Greenwoods other books this one is just plain bad. Shandril is just too godlike and Narm, well he's just a battery for her infinite powers. The thing isn't even well written, characters say things that are just plain wierd. Alas go and read an Elminster book instead.

Summary: Hardly worth the paper it's printed on...
Review: I read Spellfire a while back and chanced upon this book at a local bookstore. Knowing exactly what I was getting into, but knowing I had to find a resolution, I bought the book. Everybody in Faerun seems to know the waif of a girl, Shandril, who throws jets of flame out of her eyes, ears and fingers, and half of them want her power for their own. She is on the run through the whole book. She outruns and outkills every army of Zhentarim she meets up with and manages to get her weakling husband killed two more times. Yes, implausible and inhumanitarian, yet it's what keeps you going. Now, in the previous book we meet all sorts of interesting characters from the Forbidden Realms. There is the comedy duo of Torm and Rathan, the all powerful Elminster and the host of evil Zhentarim. Most of them make a quick show in the book, but are mostly scenery added to entice. Sorry, no more dragons, it would seem she killed them all. What the reader might overlook is that from first to second book, only a minimal amount of time has passed, so the main characters cannot have progressed as much as desired. They are as they were in Spellfire. I think maybe the heroine could have cried a lot less; it might have endeared her to me more. I think the unworldly husband, Narm, could have died less and helped more. Maybe even a tad bit of RESOLUTION would have helped. Is there going to be a third? I mean, they never quite make it to their destination. Not hoping, only curious. There is some nude scenes in this book, so it is PG-13. Buyer Beware!!

Summary: A Good Sequel to Spellfire
Review: I thought this book was better than most other people judging by their reviews.It builds the characters back grounds & shows their maturing.I'm partial to the Harpers & Knights of Myth Drannor who keep popping up to save the day.Read SPELLFIRE first then this book,it will make more sense & together they present a good story.Others mention how weak Narm is as a magic user,in the first book he was in AD&D terms a first or 2nd level magic user,in this book he casts a lightning bolt spell,(that's a spell you can only cast at 5th level or higher)He's gained 2-3 levels since the first book,not to shabby... Not everyone can be Elminster or Khelben Blackstaff....
