Bury Elminster Deep is a novel in which the Spellplague and death of the goddess Mystra have left Elminster bodiless and taken away his ability to use magic, while he must try to prevent Lord Manshoon from conquering the kingdom of Cormyr.

Reception

[edit]

John Ottinger III from Black Gate comments that "Greenwood has played a little too long and a little too roughly with his best character. Elminster is losing form and therefore losing interest for the reader. Bury Elminster Deep is monotonous and boring."[1]

Bury Elminster Deep received a positive review from California Bookwatch, which called it "a top pick for any fantasy collection".[2]
