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.Mention About Books Midnight's Mask (Forgotten Realms: Erevis Cale #3)

Even though I have a huge collection of books that I have not read, I still feel pulled to some of my favorites and simply have to re-read them. Midnight's Mask was one such book. I read this book when it was first released and while I remember several parts I had forgotten many of the details that made this book shine. Midnight's Mask concludes the Erevis Cale trilogy. Throughout the series Cale, Riven, Jak, and Mags have each grown in their respective roles, but to me, it was Jak Fleet, aWhole trilogy is written in style of true sword and wizardry. In last book reader finally have great face off and all the characters are well acquaintaned. Priests powers are also more exploited in this book and makes magic display even more enjoyable
(potential spoilers disclaimer)...From Gnoll trackers (TF) and Skullport slavers (DoN) to pirates on the Inner Sea, and Netherese ruins (MM), this third book in the trilogy of Erevis Cale is not lacking in action or suspense by any stretch! A sentient kraken?! Yep. Loved it.Once again, I will emphasize that Paul does a fantastic job at making your care about his characters (love or hate). In my view, this book got a little more gritty and also re-introduced a love sub plot for Cale - more
The conclusion for Erevis Cale wrapped it up nicely. I still think this trilogy should have been released as one long book, as opposed to 3 short ones. The books very much read like it (of course you could say the same for Lord of the Rings though that series had more obvious breaking points, but i digress). Erevis gets a couple more boons in power, including a really cool scene where he teleports through shadows an entire ship plus crew. He has temptation to fall into potential evil through the
For some, a place is home. But for men like us, people have to be home. And not just any people. Friends. The friends who live through the changes with us, who grow with us.Strength can move only mountains. Ideas can shake worlds.(he) has more angles than a prism. Nothing is bigger than the personal.
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
One of the more epic series that I've ever read. The Sojourner is a foe that could walk into any part of Faerun and destroy it. It's utterly hopeless to try and stop such an indomitable foe. Cale finds his chance to defeat the Sojourner when he's at his weakest while feeling sand between his toes.
