AMAZING TRILOGY!!!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
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!!!
A great introduction to the Forgotten Realms world

This book tells all abou the gods of FR and how they fell and why. I did not personaly start out on this series but if I had it would have saved me lots of time spent on trying to find out why certain things happend and so on and so forth.All in all this was a great book, it was a little slower than the other two books in this series (Shadowdale and Waterdeep) but compaired to the other many books I have read in the Forgotten Realms world.
Who says brand name books are bad?

Definitely a excellent middle book which I was surprised by since most middle books are slow and dogged. The adventures and skirmishes that populated throughout the book were highly entertaining and fantasy wise were realistic. It also shows how people could overcome impossible odds. The characters were especially good (like the three assasins) and the fighting great.
The second of a great trilogy.

Having read Shadowdale, I immediately acquired Tantras. I was just as thrilled with this book as I was with the first. The plot is ever changing, weaving around and taking the reader for quite a ride. I loved the description and life given to Torm's chosen city. This book really sheds a lot of light on the gods of D & D, as did its predecessor. The characters are great as ever, with a not unexpected but still eye-opening change in the party. A must read!
Once again, utterly terrific!

One of the most interesting books I've read. Very detailed description of the city. I was almost there! I was very happy with the continuation. Looked forward to the third.
