Ed Greenwood isn't my favorite Forgotten Realms Author, but I make it a point to read all the FR Novels. To date, I've read 90% of them, and most were great reads. Elminster's Daughter was kinda slow, and boring, but picked up near the end, but one thing made me scratch my head when I finished the Novel--Why was it entitled "Elminster's Daughter" ? True, his Daughter is in it, but she is the secondary plotline. Most of the novel revolves about the possibility of Vanghedehast retiring.

Also, in all of Ed Greenwoods novels, he seems to enjoy having the females appear nude and fall in love with Elminster or some such thing. In my opinion, this book had no substance like his previous novels.

If you want a truely GREAT story, read the Forgotten Realms new series "The Erevis Cale trilogy" Book one, "Twilight Falling" and Book Two, "Dawn of Night". Both are probably the finest novels in the Forgotten Realms series!
