Query: Can't take this too seriously...

This was my first exploration into the whole Forgotten Realms deal. It's very much "low fantasy," violent and brutal without many characters to simpathize with. The writing is not good at all, but the story is still interesting, and you still feel for the characters. This is not an equal of the Lord of the Rings at all; imagine Tolkien crossed with a comic book, and this is what you get. The fight scenes do more to conjure up images of playing a role playing game than they do actual fighting; there is not the sense of realism here that there is in other fantasy.
