As someone who has been a big fan of Wizards of the Coast and before that TSR fiction. I have to say that I was more than a little thrilled to be reading another book by Troy Denning. He is truly one of the best authors that Wizards has working for them. This book is definitely a prime example of truth of that statement. From the beginning there is no time to sit around and consider the world or what’s going on. The beginning was fast paced, but never made you wonder what was going on for too l...more

Immensely satisfying.
Set during the Era of Upheaval, The Sundering is a multi-author event chronicling the adventures of Faerûn’s heroes, from those just Chosen to some of the Realms' most enduring characters. Troy Denning’s novel, The Sentinel, is the penultimate entry in the series. As such, it is suitably thrilling from beginning to end.

The Sentinel is a fun fantasy tale that sets a band of heroes on an adventure to save the world. A watchmen, a noble, a thief, and a murderer must deliver the eye of an orc god to rescue Toril from Shar’s destruction. Along the way, they fight Shadovar, orcs, ghouls and zombies, crossing oceans, forests and even the Underchasm itself. The characters keep things interesting with their shifting motivations. However, saving the world comes at a high price, and author Troy Denning keeps the reader g...more

Recommended to Sean by: Wizards of the Coast and NetGalley
As an authorized early reviewer of novels, I have read some truly terrible sci-fi/fantasy books before. I am happy to say that this book does not go down that road! From the very beginning of the story, the action hits you hard and at a fast-pace, keeping time with the underlying theme of the invasion of Cormyr by the Shadovar. At a time when dead Gods abound all over the world, they are slowly starting to rise again. This is showcased very well when you are introduced to the Chosen, the select...more

The Sentinel by Troy Denning is the fifth and penultimate book in the multi-author series, The Sundering and, like the previous book, The Reaver, is very reader friendly. Unlike the first few books in the series, there is no need to have read previous books by the authors to fully appreciate the story. It also finally gives the reader a better picture of what the Sundering is – the world is splitting apart and various gods, both dead and alive, are jockeying for power. They have chosen humans to...more

This is my new favorite book in the series. Primarily, that's because it reads like a classic high fantasy adventure--good vs. evil (though with plenty of shades of grey in between), a group of companions on a mission with Shade warriors and orcs trying to prevent its completion, magic of various kinds at play--and I never really felt like I needed to know the underlying story thread that connects all of The Sundering books. That said, for the first time I actually felt like I was seeing some of...more

I've read every other book in the Sundering series so far, and they've all been good, so I had high expectations for this book. I have to admit-I am more than a bit surprised that every book in the series has been enjoyable...when every book in a series is written by a different author, I generally don't care for them much. Let's face it-the theme changes, the tone changes, the characters often change, and the continuity from book-to-book is virtually nonexistent.

With each book, the stanzas at the beginning become more fun to read and remember how they relate to the previous books plus try and guess how they’ll relate to the current one. This book has yet more Chosen moved into position to try and stop Shar and the split between the worlds. Great fight sequences and more than enough enemies trying to stop a band of four companions on a great trek. High fantasy at its finest. And I have to wait how long before the next book?
