The best book in this series so far, but only enough to be okay.

Slightly more confusing than the previous vignette. And anyone that reads my reviews knows that I am not a super big fan (tho I have mad respect) of this author.
In this story we follow a group of individuals that are hired to help a suspicious benefactor chase down a woman he wants killed. We find out that it is Eidola, the kidnapped princess from Neverwinter. I finished this book a few weeks ago, and can barely remember it...
I feel like there is a lot of fighting on the ship, some humorous conversations, ghost ships and zombies...An ultimate backstab by their benefactor...
I'm not sure how this one connects to the other stories in the series...This story did not move the plot along much, but introduced another plot to end the life of Eidola.
But I am going to keep reading.

This one was awesome, the characters were a lot better than the ones from waterdeep, and Belmer is a fucking badass.

Best chapter in the series so far. Written by my favorite Forgotten Realms' author, of course. Realistic people and dialog. Pirates, ghosts, intrigue, what's not to love? Recommended.
