I got them as a 5 in 1 volume. I thought that they rated as good but not great. Salvatore isn't my favorite writer, yet I seem to remember that i have bought about 12 of his books. For me, the Cleric Quintet ranks right behind the early Drizzt books. I enjoyed it for having a strong female protagonist, very good comic relief, and because it is one of the few books that has a cleric as the main character. To often in fantasy the cleric is relegated to the WWII stereotype, ie "Medic! We got a wounded man.". Then the cleric disappears until the next "important" character gets hurt. They were worth reading.
