About this listen
The pall that had descended over the North is gone, and a new day has dawned on a victorious Mithral Hall, but no matter how bright things seem on the surface, Drizzt and his companions know that what lurks just under their feet remains steeped in evil and charged with unimaginable power. The dark elves of Menzoberranzan, including the powerful Archmage Gromph, aren't done with Drizzt yet. And consumed by their own power struggles, feeling backed into a corner, the drow may just be desperate enough to call on demonic forces from the deepest reaches of the Abyss and unleash a disaster even the Underdark could never have prepared for. Archmage has everything Drizzt's fans crave: action, adventure, characters that resonate with equal measures of warrior spirit and deep compassion, and no shortage of wicked dark elves!

Entertaining. Makes me want to roll some dice
I got this book as a Daily Deal offer. I'm glad I took a chance. I much prefer Adult Fiction fantasy (RR Martin, Rothfuss, Erickson, even Sanderson), but reviews are pretty good. Why not? Good decision.
This book is excellent at continuing to flesh out Faerun, and includes some scenes on other planes. It has all of the things I love with Fantasy RPGs - goal-oriented action, real(istic) characters, and fantastic monsters and magic.
When I play D&D, I plod through the 'plot", eagerly anticipating the next encounter. This book taught me the utility of good RPG intrigue. The story has plenty of encounters (a few chapters are straight-up battles), but packs the tale with politics/maneuvering by demons, gods, wizards, and kings. Such a story is at risk of being overwhelmed by character motivations and "Historical" events. Rather, 'Archmage' has a great pace, not bogged down with detail.
The biggest drawback is all of the names and places...maybe not so great if you're not familiar with the Forgotten Realms...but Salvatore makes a relatively standard quest plot breathe.
Victor Bevine is a good reader, though nothing special. Professional performance with only a couple of annoying accent choices (Balors shouldn't sound retarded).
I give this book a solid 9 stars out of 10. I will be continuing this series.

acceptable background noise
as title says.
decent delivery, but the story is trash and makes no sense. don't get me wrong, this many books in in this series, it's obvious it's repetitive background trash, but this is exceptional. There multiple characters that break from their historical behaviour/arc. The drama/story development is a little forced. there were so many more ways to build drama and develop story, and other interesting twists to touch on, which simply aren't given time.

Worst book I ever tried
It’s just so terrible. Not one enjoyable moment, not one funny joke, not one clever move. Truly terrible in every way. Avoid this book like the burning trash pile that it is.
