Here's my first review!
The making of mage Author Ed Greenwood
The Making of a Mage is a book for strong fantasy roleplaying fans, and then especially for those who love the Forgotten Realms setting by TSR. The book tells the first part of the story of Elminster the most powerful magician in the world. He starts out as little boy after a terrible tragedy in the family, and finds himself on the road to becomming a mage. Off course, this is not a easy road, and the young Elminster is constanly being challenged for his choice in "profession". Among other trials he is transformed into a woman! We follows him into his first encounters with the godess of Magic, Mystra, and the start of their special relationship. Well, as I said do you love the Forgotten Realms you probably will enjoy this book. Greenwod is an exellent game designer (maybe the best) but as an author he becomes to simple. It never becomes exciting and you feel that you always know what will be on the next page.
