About this listen

It is the time of the great elven city of Cormanthor, when the Heartlands are home to barbarians, wicked dragons rule the skies, and the elven people trust no one. Wizards and warriors alike threaten their civilization in vain, arrogant, and ignorant quests for glory.

Thus it was that Elminster was guided to Cormanthor, the Towers of Song, where Eltargrim was Coronal. There he dwelt for 12 summers and more, studying with many mighty mages, learning to feel magic and know how it could be bent and directed to his will.... It is recorded that when the Mythal was laid, and Cormanthor became Myth Drannor, Elminster was among those who devised and spun that mighty magic.

Elves and wizards

Plot:
Pushed on by his god and lover, Elminster finds himself in an Elven kingdom that isn't too found that a human has intruded upon their fair city. One of the greatest mages in the Forgotten Realms; Elminster has to deal with xenophobic assassins who now magic on an instinctual level. In order to survive he is going to have to learn elf magic.

My main problem with this book is the time frame and the distance between this book and the first. Elminster is one of the most powerful wizards in this game and while it could be debated that the first book was a reasonable genesis for the character, we lost a lot of years and we don't get much of a magic system.

This book focuses not really on Elminster but on the culture and xenophobic society of the elves of this world as well as the first mythal, an account of an epic level spell.

What I liked: I managed to finish it.
What I don't like: I suppose that it is a decent addition to the wizard's saga.
