Summary: Mortalis
Review: RA Salvatore has done it again :-) Mortalis continues the story started in the Demon War Trilogy... his Drizzt D'Urden books are still my favorite, but if you're an RA Salvatore fan then you definitely have to get this book!! And then again, even if you're not, buy this book and become one!

Summary: An Accomplishment
Review: Salvatore continues on from where he left off in more than one way with "Mortalis." From a basic storyline standpoint, "Mortalis" continues the saga of Honce the Bear and its reluctant hero Jilseponie. However, from a standpoint of Salvatore's development and maturation as a writer, this book could be considered a continuation of "Spine of the World." The book was harshly criticized by some as being slow and without direction, but that was because it dared to break the fantasy mold of seek and destroy the evil villain. There is not obvious villain in "Mortalis."It isn't easy to read a book about hopelessness and despair caused by plague, but Salvatore attempts it and succeeds. This book is a bridge that will be followed by the rest of the Demon Wars Saga and it succeeds in allowing his characters to develop in to real people. Drizzt made him famous, but the characters in this serious are what Salavatore should hope to be remembered for. Not just the big characters like Jilseponie and Elbryan, but the secondary characters as well. Start from the beginning of the series and pay extra attention to Francis and De'Unnero. They are true masterpieces.

Summary: Salvatore's Masterpiece !
Review: Salvatore continues to amaze. Every new book somehow manages to surpass the previous one. With Mortalis, Salvatore has proven that he is not just a great fantasy writer - but a great author -period. It takes effort not to devour it in one sitting. This is a story to be savored! I have been reading fantasy for most of my life, since first discovering The Lord Of The Rings. In my opinion, with the possible exception of David Gemmell, Salvatore has no competition - he is in a league of his own.

Summary: Really really bad
Review: Shallow, shoddily written (this guy has NO ear), and strictly for the fanboy set.

Summary: Salvatore's best work? It just might be.
Review: Sojourn has always been my favorite Salvatore book, but Mortalis may soon take replace it. The power and emotion in the words of this text are unbelievable. Also, Salvatore has once again delved into deep philosophical questions in a way that forces you to ponder the questions as well. It is clear that Mr. Salvatore poored his heart and soul into this book and I recommend it to any who come across this review.

Summary: A World Gone Dark.
Review: This book is amazing. When RAS comes out with a new book I put down whatever else it is I am reading, and this book once agian showed me why. The overall feel of this book is very dark. A plague grips the populace creating turmoil and causing the helpless and leaderless monks to shut the doors of their abbys. Pony is offered the position of leader of the church and baron of palmaris, but spiritualy lost over the death of both her husband and unborn child she retreats to the north. And the plague folows in her footsteps. A new "people" is dicovered in the wild westlands by a explorer and his band, but only one returns alive to tell about it. The inner struggles of all the characters is as much a page turner as RAS wonderful fighting scenes. There are unparalled acts of heroism in this book and not one involves a sword. Once you start reading this it is hard to stop, even for sleep. If your not a RAS fan then you will be after this book.

Summary: About this Book
Review: This book, like the first and third Demonwars books, does an exceptional job of capturing the readers attention. The book focuses a lot upon a plague, very similar to that which swept Europe, though that does not seem to deter from the story being told here. Within the pages, you have a story about The Church, which already has been displaced because of the loss of their Father Abbot, trying to keep itself together. On one hand you have those who want to stay safe within the walls of their fortress like Abbeys, and others who wish to administer to the victims of the plague, under risk of becoming infected themselves. The book is very well written and decidedly more dark than the other books in the series which which haven't been very happy go lucky to begin with. Though, it is definitely a tale worth listening to, especially in the many ways that the plague does echo our own history. This is definitely author's finest work since the first book in this series, possibly even The Dark Elf Trilogy.

Summary: Riveting
Review: This is one of Salvatore's greatest books to date. He truly put his soul into this work , and you truly feel the pain of Jilseponie as she tries to get over Elbryan the Nightbird's death. A lot of loose ends are tied up in this book (although they are opened again in Asendance), and it makes you feel pretty content to see that everything just might work out for the best.
