Publisher Description
In the streets of Waterdeep, conspiracies run like water through the gutters, bubbling beneath the seeming calm of the city’s life. As a band of young, foppish lords discovers there is a dark side to the city they all love, a sinister mage and his son seek to create perverted creatures to further their twisted ends.
And across it all sprawls the great city itself: brawling, drinking, laughing, living life to the fullest. Even in the face of death.
City of Splendors is set in the most important city of the Forgotten Realms setting: Waterdeep, city of intrigue and secrets. Its authors are considered to be among the most authoritative figures writing in the Forgotten Realms setting. This novel is their first collaboration.

Really Fun Book, Questionable Narration
(3.5/5) City of Splendors is one of my favorite Forgotten Realms reads and, as such, I have enjoyed listening to this audiobook on my work commutes for the content alone. However, the narration of this rendition is unfortunate. Not only is the narrator incredibly monotoned who offers no semblance of enthusiasm for the story she recounts, but her mechanical recitation mixed with her near-laughable depiction of male characters is enough to (almost) ruin the atmosphere. Alas, when it comes to audiobooks poor narration is something that must be expected and mentally overcome.
