I purposefully read it, to see if there was anything redeeming about it. I was very disappointed. Man who prated about honor, and women who must remain veiled, and camels and water shortages and revenge strategies.
It was really not the stuff I was looking for! While this book was enjoyable for the most part, I really felt as if it was missing something throughout the story.. Its hard to say exactly what that something is, but I just wasn't fulfilled after this Harpers novel.
More detail should have been provided in some instances and the background characters were too predictable the sheiks and the Zhents. There's something else though that left me with a bored feeling throughout much of the novel.

I guess everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but I was surprised to see this novel getting an overall 4. One person found this helpful. I had high hopes for this book as I really love the theme of the desert and nomad life in the forgotton realms setting,,However the story here is VERY slow and overly repetitive,,there are almost no fantasy elements in this novel at all..

I look forward to more from the series. I had a hard time finding ANY of the Harper books when I was on the hunt to finish my Forgotten Realms collection and then 4th edition happened Denning hadn't quite hit his stride yet i've read his later works MUCH better it is still a wonderful introduction to a part of the Forgotten Realms that many of us have never seen, or played in.
Being able to read a good-quality edition of this out-of-print book is a rare treasure for me, especially for such a reasonable price.
Great for a short story and easy summer read. See all 27 reviews.

I wish this novel took place in Calimshan or Raurin. After that, whether through his choice or the editors his FR novels just kept adding bad ideas to the Realms. I really liked Ruha in this book, and I thought he actually covered the Zhentarim really well.
The reviewers comments on Lander are sadly on the mark, he was so bland I forgot his fate. Denning was best with non-Western fantasy societies, I understand he was part of the Dark Sun team and that he wrote an interesting Planescape novel. I wish they had turned him loose on Kara-tur novels, instead of Faerun. You can use facts to prove anything that is even remotely true. Originally posted by Hawkins quote: Originally posted by Dagnirion quote: I like Dragonwall but the ending, the parts after the Shou and Tuigan conflict is resolved, felt rushed, ill-considered, and unrealistic.

But the stuff prior to that made up for it. The sad thing is, I think Denning himself would have prefered to write Kara-tur novels. Marc Senior Scribe Posts. Originally posted by Dagnirion Ruha, who had basically no support in leaving the Anauroch and making it to Sembia, a completely foreign land, somehow did, and even somehow became a Harper, despite not knowing anybody.
The Parched Sea
The Harpers, in turn, sent an agent to incite the desert people against this. Ruha glimpsed this man, and from that moment she wanted him. She cast an enchantment to make him love her, but he would not forget his mission and died in battle. Ruha made no lament, for jackals do not mourn the death of any man. Yet, having tasted the fruit of love, she had no wish to return to her oasis and live alone, so she stole the agent's silver pin and left Anauroch to find others like him. And that is how Ruha came to the Harpers. I'd be akin to, contemporary, a Bedouin woman leaving her home in the Negev, eventually making residence in France, where she becomes a member of the Freemasons, dispute being a complete stranger in her new home, knowing nobody, not knowing the language, not being familiar with the customs, and so on.
Published on December 3, I did not like at the end that a main character was killed off tho. Kerrigan Seeker Germany 31 Posts.

The Harpers, guardians of liberty throughout the Determined to drive a trade route through Anauroch, the Zhentarim have sent an army to enslave the fierce nomads of the great desert.
Ruha never enchanted Lander to love her, as far as we know. Edited by - Lord Karsus on 29 Apr Kerrigan Seeker Germany 31 Posts. Well, that's Maliks character, isn't it?

I just finished reading this novel. Overall, I thought it was a good read, and helped define and set the feel of life in Anauroch and with the Bedine. The death of Lander at the end of the novel seemed forced and unnecessary. The primary protagonist other than Ruha being taken out by poison the night before the climactic battle? I guess I was expecting a happier ending to the novel, such as they succeed in destroying the Zhents, and Lander takes Ruha to Sembia, or even decides to stay in Anauroch with her. Overall, a very disappointing and bitter way to end the main protagonist and the story along with it.
