This book actually reminded me of The Once And Future King. The book is seperated into different times of Elminster's life as he is growing from a sheperd boy into a mage. Each section seemed like Elminster had to learn something about life before he could transition into the next section of his life. It was nice to see the character of Elminster grow and adapt to the different situations thrown at him, but most of the other characters are forgettable. Over all it was a good read.
