Lisa Smedman

Not necessarily my favourite in the series, but at least a bit nicer of an ending than War of the Spider Queen had. My sample size is small, but it seems to me that 'dnd books' suffer so much from the curse of 'being dnd books' that it takes a lot of strength out of the narrative. Still fun to read!

Fun, for sure! Lots of interesting pieces moving around, and eminently readable.

I liked the setup for this series, and the characters are all fun. I am extremely predictable in that Q'arlynd is of course my favourite, because I love horrid little wizard men.

Decently strong writing, especially compared to some of the other FR books I've read.

I think this might be my favourite one of the series - Smedman does an amazing job with the characters arcs in this and the overall quality of the writing is a lot higher.
