That was so darn better than the previous PoR books! Action without the dragging descriptions, the main heroine is likable, nice character development. Oh, and after going through the hell of the previous trilogy, written by a different author... wow

This has a lot of good ideas, but also a lot of things where I question how well they would work in a game with actual players.
For example, half the cool stuff is way too high-level for the players to interact with, and while judicious use of "the world is not your theme park, sometimes there's stuff that you just have to leave for other adventurers" can do a lot to make your world feel lived-in, the level of use here makes me wonder if it won't just feel like "so why are we even here, then" instead.
The main plot also kicks off via the characters finding a portal with an unknown destination and jumping through it, and while there are a few reasons given as to why they might do this, I think it will be a hard sell.
The idea of being the heroes working in the background of a larger adventure is fun, though, and if you can get player buy-in it might still be a fun adventure.

An entertaining dungeon crawl with exciting information about Myth Drannor in the back. Definitely a must have for a Forgotten Realms campaign.
