Reception

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]

gollark: What did the bots do? Surely they could be made to just not interact with each other constantly.

gollark: A highlight feature could be helpful.

gollark: I can make *my* bot open bidirectional communication links to any channel I have the ID of (which it's in) but I never needed to do this.

gollark: Well, no idea, I don't have very much information.

gollark: Hmm. That actually sounds reasonable.
