Elminster Returns!
Elminster Must Die is the debut 4th edition appearance of one of the Forgotten Realms world’s most iconic characters, written by the creator of the original Forgotten Realms campaign setting. An instant classic, and a must-listen for every Realms fan.
When the goddess of magic was murdered, Elminster’s world shattered. Once the most powerful wizard in the world, immortal, beloved of the goddess of magic, and the bane of villainy, he is now a tired old man. He is powerful but mortal, and with all the enemies a man who makes a habit of saving the world tends to accumulate. To make matters worse, Elminster has needs - feeding powerful magic items to the Simbul, his lover, is the only thing that keeps her sane - but their increasingly risky collection leads his enemies right to him.

To be fair, this is the first book since maybe the second one where Elminster actually has challenges. We still get the power fantasy, Mary Sue, of course, but he's actually challenged in some ways.
Most of Greenwood's books seem centred in outside characters who kind of, sort of, have passing interactions with the title character. Usually interactions with him are to talk about who he's boned and how great he was that one time in that crazy situation (you know... the one we don't get to read about).
I'm going to finish off the third book in this trilogy set, but to be honest I'm getting tired of wasting my monthly free credit.
