The Tain

Overall I really enjoyed this novel. It pulled me into the Myth universe again which I've been out of for a while and made me want to play. It made me question motives of the "Light" and the "Dark" in an enjoyable way.

I felt the ending was a tad sudden. I actually thought I must have missed something and went back to make sure I didn't. I guess I was just looking for some hidden plot from the commander or Phelot.

If you enjoy reading and you enjoy Myth you should read A Shade of Gray.

Spectacular!! This story is what Myth III should have been. Awesomely inter-weaved with the known M:TFL & M:SB Campaign Histories and Lore, while expanding into the "unknowns" of the aftermath of the war and Soulblighters demise.

The story is written as alternating Journal entries from Oderic, (from the Shiver level), and Seven Star Wolf, it proceeds at a good pace while keeping you totally engrossed.

Very well written with excellent portrayls of personalites by the characters we all know and love.

*Monday September 14, Covenant,

The sky threatened us with its leaden grayness for an entire week, yet still the rain did not fall. The feeling of the coming storms was palpable for days.

A couple hundred thralls were waiting for us at a crossing on one of the Ire’s tributaries. The platoon’s three dwarves dealt with them almost on their own, largely thanks to a field of satchel charges that the thralls heedlessly crossed. A dwarf is every squadron’s greatest asset and most fearsome liability. Lone wolves, sadists, calculators of mayhem, every one of them I've met-- even Andvari, who was a mathematician of all things.

In platoons, the dwarves tend to pair up and ignore everyone else. Bromi and Bjarni are brothers, so it comes as little surprise that they fit the common mold. Telling hasn’t found his way into their good graces yet, and I can’t tell whether that’s by his own choice or not. In any case, most of the thralls went down in a show of flame and fury, and the footmen from Kearney’s squad finished the job.

The soldiers went to work cutting willows in the shallows to make a way for Phelot to cross. We assumed the fighting was over--it was so long since any of us last saw a wight that we didn’t think there were any left. The first one came up in the middle of one of the wood-cutting crews. Two men are dead, and several others were saved only by the healing magic of the elder Herons.

There were a few others, but we saw them in time and shot them down. The crossing was still putrid with decay, it’s waters numbing to the touch, when we finished the raft and got Phelot over the shallow crossing.

We’re in the ruins of Covenant, and it’s fortunate that there are a few roofs left in this city, because the rain is coming relentlessly, finally unleashed from the roiling sea of dark cloud that loomed over us all the way here. There isn’t much for us to do but wait it out.*

A Shade of Gray is a MUST_READ for all Myth lovers. :o)
