But as it progressed I began to thouroughly enjoy it. Though it definatly reads more like a campaign module than a novel. It was also very interesting because it dealed directly with the gods. Something not a lot of novels do. All in all if your a little patient with the begining I think you will enjoy it. Heres a little bit of info on it :)*******MINOR SPOILERS******** The Tablets of Fate have been stolen! Ao has cast the gods of Toril to the earth untill they have been returned. The gods are forced to take on Avatars (Mortal Form). Magic is now unstable since the gods have begun to walk the realms. Cleric can only cast their spells if they are withing 1-mile of their diety's. The arcane weave is wild. Sometimes spells work, and sometimes they go haywire producing effects unimaginable and usually horrible. Bane & Mykrul: The god of strife and the god of the dead team up with the intention of returning to their kingdoms and destroying Ao. Mystra: Searches for a shard of power she had hidden with a mortal being before being cast from the heavens by Ao. Four mortals are drawn into the conflict. Kelemvor, a warrior with a dark and deadly curse. Midnight, a mage with a strange pendant grafted to her neck. Adon, a cleric of Sune. And Cyric the rogue. What will happen? Who will live? Pick up the novel and find out yourself. The Time of Troubles has begun!
