Elminster: The Making of a Mage by Ed Greenwood

3.0

My first Elminster book. Pretty solid. I'm not the biggest fan of Greenwood's writing style. He tends to finish characters off rather unceremoniously. Of all the Magelords, the shapeshifter had the best characterization, and he only got a handful of pages. I couldn't get a feeling for any of the others. Best character moment was between the two snotty nobles and a guy we had barely just met who happened to be a friend of Helm's.
Best part of the book was Elmara.
