WHAT'S THAT? While I really liked many of Ed Greenwood's contributions to the Forgotten Realms, "Silverfall" is the ultimate failure. The whole story - when one can call it a story at all - is implausible from the first to the last word. The charactes have not even the faintest depth. The Seven Sisters are the Chosen of Mystra, and are therefore beings of tremendous power. Each of the sisters usually has her very own personality and her very own motivations, as well as being quite intelligent and sometimes even wise. In "Silverfall" they are simply a bunch of arrogant fools. They are running about without rhyme or reason and rush headlong into every trap and every danger set for them, missing not even a single one. Half of the time they are surviving their foolishness only because they are the great and mighty Chosen of Mystra. The other half of the time its sheer luck and one must wonder if they are secretly also the Chosen of Tymora (the goddess of luck). Why the Seven Sisters must constanly be unclad is also beyond me ... but that's another story. Everyone who "knows" the Seven Sisters from other sources should give this book a wide berth and keep them in mind as they deserve it.
Hope and Displeasure I hoped to find the history of the seven sisters. Nothing special or new was found in this book. The second point is that it is a very short book with very big letters.The plot is nice, but the changes between the seven sisters acting is not that good, especially if you dont know who the seven sisters are, what they do or what they think.
The Seven Sisters, in the eyes of the creator Ed Greenwood gives us the definitive stories to the seven sisters, no matter how differently they are protrayed in other books, after all, Greenwood is the creator of the Forgotten Realms, so there is no arguement there.
The storyline is a complicated and carefully constructed plot, but it is not the essential reading for beginners in the Forgotten Reals world, Greenwood sometimes mentions things that needed to be looked up, and also does not explain other things fully. The scenery changes fast and furious, and this could cause some confusion for the not-so-careful reader, it is a book to be studied over. These are some of the reasons why it is not one of Greenwood's best publications.
Other than that, the characters are fine themselves, although one or two of the Sisters may seem a little "odd" at first (for example, Sylune and the Simbul.), but the reader quickly adopts to the style of the story and is "assimilated" neatly into it, this I have to give Greenwood credit for.
All in all:
Readability: 9 out of 10 Style: 10 out of 10 Storyline: 8 out of 10 (a bit corny in some places)
The Seven Sisters This book is a good source of information about the seven sisters if one is not familier to all their dealings. One thing I disliked about this books was that it was somethings confusing in story line. Otherwise I love the book. It kept moving and that is what I like to see happen. This is a good book for anyone wanting to get a little more information about how the 7 work together to get things done.
Where's the ending ? Well like many others I have been waiting for the story behind the 7 sisters. The way Ed has brought them together was very well done. The magic battles were fantastic. I found it hard to put down during these parts. But I found the ending incomplete. One minute things are happening and the next it's all over and happily ever after. Where'd they go from there, what happened in Waterdeep, Skulport and Scourburn. Maybe I should be patient and wait for the next installment, which I hope there is one.
