Canticle (The Cleric Quintet #1)
#1 - I love Salvatore's work - I loved the Drizzt series and his work on Amalur and I have no ill feelings towards him AT ALL
#2 - I have grown up on D&D and understand fully the game and its mechanics and everything within, having following since second edition
#3 - over 50% of the books I read are fantasy genre
I could not get into this story - none of the characters had any life to me and the whole thing just seems like a waste of pages (or download in my case) and I am confused.
Every time that I wanted to quit, I told myself that it was Salvatore and it would get better - all the way until i hit the final page - what a colossal let down and a waste of my brain pan -
Sorry folks, but I cannot support that which I do not like, nothing against the author, but I do not like this book in the series.
I read this series when it first came out and enjoyed it then, but not as much as some of the other material i was reading at the time (which included Drizzt books, Dragonlance and David Eddings). This is a light fun book, following a talented young priest in a library. The library is the target of a Chaos Curse, and the priests start to do weird things. Our hero, along with a couple of Dwarven brothers, a druid and a monk, help to save the day.This is a pure D&D book, with some well known
can tickle?Anyway, this was a breezy fantasy summer read from RA Salvatore. The book's saving grace is that much of the book was battle descriptions. The book's biggest weakness is that much of the book was battle descriptions.So, there was a bunch of fighting. The main character conveniently had just enough of the right supplies and luck to beat the bad guy in the end.A hero with a yo-yo. I wish that were original.Maybe I'm being too harsh on ol' Cadderly ... we'll see in the next book.
This is the first book In Salvatore's Cleric Quintet series. I actually heard him speak once, and he said that he didn't want to write a book about a cleric, but about a monk (hence Danica being a monk). Interestingly enough, this series turned out to be one of his most popular.It starts out in the Edificant Libarary, a place for monks, bards, and clerics to study. Cadderly, an orphan who has lived his entire life at the library, is a scholar with an appitite for creating new devices (so much
Cadderly for the winCadderly immediately became one of my favorites when Drrizt and friends made thier way to the Edificant library (I even named a WoW character after him). So to start reading a whole series based on his exploits makes me very happy and this book does not disappoint. Cadderly is ingenious little priest with a budding relationship with Danica a beautiful young monk. Both live in the Edificant library a vast repository of learning for all goodly folk in the snowflake mountains
I don't think I even finished it. Main character is a TOTAL Gary-Stu. His character flaw is that he cares too much. I just couldn't keep reading anymore.
Canticle is the first book in the series by author R.A. Salvatore. The story follows a young priest named Cadderly, as he tries to contain a horrible cursed (aptly named The Most Fatal Horror) which has been unleashed on his library (and home). Cadderly doesn't have much help except from a pair of dwarfs, his girlfriend who is a warrior monk and a druid. Together they must battle hordes of the undead in the catacombs below the library in order to try to put an end to the curse.. but there's more

I really wanted to like this book. I play a cleric in Dungeons and Dragons, I've read one or two of Salvatore's other books and enjoyed them well enough. So I was really hoping this would be a book that really got deep into the cleric mindset.It did not.Everything about this book felt flat and lifeless. It really did feel like somebody took a dungeon master's notes and put them in novel form, but without any life or detail or anything to draw you in. The characters never seem to be at risk whichI read this series when it first came out and enjoyed it then, but not as much as some of the other material i was reading at the time (which included Drizzt books, Dragonlance and David Eddings).
