Considering the replies posted here, some people might disagree with me quite strongly. I thought Prince of Lies was one of THE best Forgotten Realms books (probably ties with Finder's Stone) I have ever read - but I felt the Crucible was one of the worst. It seemed to me that the story ran away from the Author and also destroyed allot of what happened in Price of Lies

- the whole Mad Cyric vs. Kelemvor/Midnight thing. Also, the fact that Kelemvor turned into 'Mr Ice Dude' really got up my nose! What's wrong with a good Power being in charge of the land of the dead? After all, they had Myrkul for so long.
Over-all, I really think that Crucible had allot to live up to, and didn't quite make it.
Anyway, I can heartily recommend Prince of Lies - it's brilliant!
