Narration To Books Midnight's Mask (Forgotten Realms: Erevis Cale #3)
If you love spending time in the Forgotten Realms then there is no reason I can think of why you wouldn't love the Erevis Cale Trilogy. Many people in the Forgotten Realms Facebook Group consider this series to be among the best in this crazy magic-filled world. For me what sets The Realms apart from other worlds is its copious amounts of magic - there's a spell for everything and a dweomer for everyone. If you haven't spent time in The Realms you might find all this sorcery a tad indulgent on the part of the writer, but this is not the case - this world just happens to be a bit over-the-top, and for me, it's a perfect fit. I love the wands. And I love traveling between planes. Because this world and its magic system are so established, you have a lot of resources at your fingertips if you get lost or confused - the Forgotten Realms Wiki on Fandom for instance. And the character development does not suffer - I teared up plenty - the friendships were as real and meaningful as anywhere else. The odd-couple pairing of Cale and Riven was well-executed and I will never forget them. They reminded me of Hadrian and Royce from Michael Sullivan's Ryria series - or rather, the other way around because Erevis Cale came first! Kemp is a master storyteller and an adept writer. He seems to always find just the write words and phrases. I found myself looking up words that I had never heard of and yet they always perfectly fit the context. I can see why writers hold him in such high regard - this reader certainly does. And the good news is there's another series with Erevis Cale - The Twighlight War series.Rating About Books Midnight's Mask (Forgotten Realms: Erevis Cale #3)

I liked the reason for the Sojourner's grand plot although I was quite annoyed with Cale's reasoning for his dogged pursuit of the bad guys. I was also quite annoyed with the reason for Riven's betrayal. That is some confidence our heros had to program Riven that way when the whole thing could have been thwarted in book 2 and poor Skullport could have been spared! Overall, I was entertained and even though there were a few plot points that bugged me, I was still very happy to be reading theThe epic fight against the Sojourner and his Slaad children is finally in reach! With alliances running amok like a tangled spiders web, and arcane energy being ripped straight from magical sights, the Sojourner is all the while getting closer and closer to his ultimate, and mysterious, goal. Meanwhile, Mask fuels Cale's spirit with more and more secrets, piece by piece, as he slowly loses himself in order to make room for the power to take up the title of 'killer' once again. Full of battles

...feels. So many feels.Darn you.Great end of the trilogy. It felt...final, though I assume their adventures continue, individually.Damn, I almost want to find the previous books that go with the characters, since there were so many references to them.
The final book of this trilogy proves to be a very satisfying conclusion to the trilogy. I rather enjoyed it, especially as it builds up towards a finale. The loose ends are all nicely wrapped up, except for the bits that foreshadowed even more to come.The story has an overall "dark" tone to it, even more so than the first two. I guess this ties in really well with Cale and Riven entering more and more fully into the Mask's service. You follow each of the two character's growth and
I really enjoyed this whole series, but this book was especially good! Kemp does an excellent job fleshing out the area of Forgotten Realms that he has his characters in. His characters are flawed perfectly, adding complexity and a touch of realism to a highly fantastic setting. As stated by the author, he writes really good bad guys. The Sojourner and the Slaadi are all really well done and consistent. I will say that I typically dont like this kind of endingI dont want to spoil anything, and I
