Elminster's Doom...
It was the eve of the Time of Troubles. The chaos of spilled blood, lawless strife, monsters unleashed, and avatars roaming Faern was still to come. Unbeknownst to mortals, the gods had been summoned together, and among them was Mystra, grown proud and willful in the passing eons. With the others, she was about to be stripped of her godhood. The secret of her power gave her an idea. She made certain preparations, looking always for one who would be her successor.... But until that person's ascension, her power must be preserved.
A lone mortal must carry the greater share of her divine energy until the power could be reclaimed, and it was the fate of this mortal to risk being destroyed or driven wild, involuntarily and without warning. This was the occaision of Elminster's Doom.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I thought this book was great. I know Ed Greenwood can be hit or miss but Shadows of Doom was awesome. The story is pretty tight and you never feel lost. Ed doesn't bounce around each chapter with different characters etc. This was my first Todd McLaren listen and I thought he did a really nice job. Ed throws in some wit and funny remarks that makes the characters come to life.Who was your favorite character and why?
It's a push... the two Harpers! These two Harpers are quested with protecting Elminster throughout this travels. It's lots of banter back and forth with kicking butt and taking names. I really enjoyed listening these guys talk to one another and the enemies throughout their romps. Hilarious.Which scene was your favorite?
No particular favorite (the battles are okay but it really is the in between time when characters talk to one another). Maybe the ending and what happened to everyone involved... there is a serious prize they receive.Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I really enjoyed this book and would read/listen to it all in one sitting.Any additional comments?
I have read a lot of Elminster books and other FR novel prior to this one. I do not believe you need that background to enjoy this novel but a brush up on Elminster might help.Entertaining and Funny
