Explanation During Books Dawn of Night (Forgotten Realms: Erevis Cale #2)
First off, this series is one big story - which is great for me because I'm a binge-reader and want to keep the party going. And as you'd hope, it gets better with each fast-turning page - clearly headed towards a big finish... It's unusually dark and sinister, full of gruesome creatures, with magic more powerful and varied than should be possible. One minute you're above ground, the next down below, sometimes jumping between planes ... Talk about suspension of disbelief- it reminds me of how I felt as a kid at Disney World, except now that I'm older and my innocence long lost, the Realms is a much better fit... And this story is more than just another day in The Realms - it has more intensity than the War of the Spider Queen series and that is saying something... Paul Kemp must be considered a writer's writer - If I ever become a writer I will be sure to let you know. As a reader, I am not sure what else I would want or could expect from a fantasy series... If you're on the fence about reading this series, not sure whether or not to pull the trigger, then listen to me very carefully... close your eyes and listen to the sound of my voice... you are getting sleepy... very sleepy... Can you hear me? Yes? Good... I want you to read this series... read the Erevis Cale Trilogy... Ok, when I count to five I want you to wake up and go buy the books - One... Two... Three... Four... Five. Wake up!Define Containing Books Dawn of Night (Forgotten Realms: Erevis Cale #2)

Second book in this D&D trilogy I picked up after reading The Godborn by the same author. I feel lukewarm; the main characters are all dark and brooding edgelords that end up blending together a bit, they are super-serious all the time and easily offended by banter, female characters are barely existent and poorly handled and villains are saturday morning cartoon-y. I think teenage boys would definitely be the target audience. There's a memorable encounter early on in this book 2 and plentyOnce again Paul Kemp manages to provide us a great, amazing book. For me this is one of the most interesting storylines in the forgotten realms universe. The first one had already been excellent and this only continues that tradition. The characters are very relatable, being different amongst themselves. The story's pace is only a bit slowed when Cale and friends are in the shadow plane, but the writing is pnenomenal, because i found myself drudging along those chapters as the characters drudged
Enjoyable fast paced action fantasy with lots of magic and combat. One thing I really like about this series is the main characters are a couple of priest/rogues, a blackguard assassin, and a psionic ranger which is certainly not the usual fighter or wizard protagonists. It's a fun change of pace.
Great stuff! Very glad I stuck with the trilogy after the not-so-gripping first entry, Twilight Falling.A couple of "oh come on" moments keep the book from being a five-star affair, like his becoming instantaneously and completely unreasonably smitten with the tavern wench. If there was a 4.5 star rating, it would have it. Unfortunately for Erevis, I round down motherfucker.

Dawn of Night by Paul S. Kemp- This is the second book in The Erevis Cale Trilogy. The first is Twilight Falling and the last is Midnights Mask. However, the first appearance of many of these characters are found in the Sembia: Gateway to the Realms series. There is a short story in Halls of Stormweather anthology entitled Resurrection and the second book in the series entitled Shadows Witness. Then after this trilogy, the story continues in The Twilight War trilogy (Shadowbred, Shadowstorm, and
Totally fell short for me. I really liked the first one. I got about half way through this and quit. The writing wasn't horrible. It's just that the plot just didn't make any sense. The charachters had no reason to be in the situations they were in or make the choices they did. It read like a steamrolled D&D game.
