Story
In ancient days, sorcerers sought to learn the One True Spell that would give them power over all the world and understanding of all magic.... The One True Spell was a woman, and her name was Mystra - and her kisses were wonderful. It is the time before Myth Drannor, when the Heartlands are home to barbarians, and wicked dragons rule the skies. In these ancient days, Elminster is but a shepherd boy, dreaming of adventure and heroics. When a dragon-riding magelord sweeps down upon him, though, the boy is thrust into a world of harsh realities, corrupt rulers, and evil sorcerers.

Story
When the goddess of magic was murdered, Elminster’s world shattered. Once the most powerful wizard in the world, immortal, beloved of the goddess of magic, and the bane of villainy, he is now a tired old man. He is powerful but mortal, and with all the enemies a man who makes a habit of saving the world tends to accumulate. To make matters worse, Elminster has needs - feeding powerful magic items to the Simbul, his lover, is the only thing that keeps her sane - but their increasingly risky collection leads his enemies right to him.

It can lay low a dragon or heal a wounded warrior. It is the most sought-after magical power in all Faern. And it is in the reluctant hands of Shandril of Highmoon, a young, orphaned kitchen-lass. Now she's on the run from half of the evil sorcerers in the land, not to mention their relentless minions. But with the help of a handsome young wizard, some rough-and-tumble Knights of Myth Drannor, and a certain old mage of Shadowdale, she just might manage to stay alive. At least until tomorrow.

So So
The narrator did an amazing job, like all the other books. However! The story or stories in this book, took a lot of self discipline to get thought. Very slow and uninteresting.

I wish I could have enjoyed this better
I liked this book and there were some cool scenes, but the story style kept getting in the way.
*spoilers that Elminster is in Hell in case the title didn't give it away*
We continue to have to assume he's done interesting things that we just don't know about because he's coming out of some scenario of action and into fixing hell portals right at the hop.
We are frequently hearing other stories as memories and then they're suddenly interrupted by the guest in Elminster's mind. No scene change mechanism to let us know this. Eventually you can catch on. EXCEPT then you're also not sure if they're stories of what's happening outside of Avernus, because that happens too - and somehow that's also interrupted.
I've also found this reader has their limits too. Scene transition devices weren't written very well, but so too is the lack of change in the reader's voice. A demon lord sounds like a human night, an ancient elf mage sounds like a demon maiden.
There's interesting short stories, sort of. However, they're often too short and too frequently interrupted to get anywhere. Even though Elminster is doing his best A Thousand And One Tales bit, I can't see how a mind-linked demon lord who's asking time and time again for specific things wouldn't have just given up on his prisoner and ended him completely. Instead our hero is a "worm like thing" who's limbs have been ripped off - again - and we go back in a circle.
I wanted to like the story. Don't get me wrong, there's some cool scenes. I just don't think it's the reader or the author's best work.
