Series: Finder's Stone #1
The first book in the Forgotten Realms "Finder's Stone Trilogy" this is actually an above average entry in the Realms books. With a compelling story and a great cast of secondary characters, plenty of mysteries to unravel and a satisfying ending, it's a light and fun read.
The main character, Alias, is a badass woman warrior with a mysterious past that gets unravelled as the book goes on. I get the feeling that this was possibly not imagined as the first of a trilogy, because the book does add up to a full story and wraps up quite neatly at the end, but that also makes it more satisfying as a read.
It's typical of D&D books that the central characters form a party, and this is no exception, we get a warrior, a thief/bard, a paladin and a mage, but all of them are quirky enough to make them fun. The warrior is an amnesiac, the bard is not a bard really but a halfling thief with dubious morals, the paladin is a lizard who speaks through smell and the mage is actually a merchant who dabbles. You also get dragons, ancient gods and dark rituals. Fun!
TL;DR: 7/10 Read it!
