The qualifications of a good book may well be one that I 'just couldn't put down', but in the case of Elminster in Myth Drannor by Ed Greenwood, it soon became a frightening experience to pick it back up again. To venture within the limitless, surprising, alien world of the true-blood elves of fair Cormanthor knowing that soon I would be forced to leave this mystical realm again and return here where no Mythal stands guard over our own prejudices and arrogant machinations. And where perhaps, no gods draw near to listen to our plaintive cries as well.
