Plot summary[edit]

Elminster has been rendered bodiless and unable to perform magic by the Spellplague and the death of his goddess Mystra. He tries to find a way to stop Lord Manshoon from taking over 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]
