These books sucked, I'm just going to come right out and say it.

Maybe if I would have stuck to one story line instead of doing them all it would have been better.

I still remember some creature coming up from the water or sewer and things from another world, and it seemed like the folks at Wizards of the Coast were really reaching in '97.

I'd pass on these, and feel lucky you did.

Not a bad read, it’s full of action and brings at least part of the story to a close.

My biggest issue is that the books are so short and there are so many characters it’s difficult to feel anything for them, so when bad/good things happen I’m just kind of ‘meh’ but still a fun quick read (it only took me 5 days because I currently reading far too many other books).

Its better than the previous, and zeb cook does a good job prose wise, but the book feels burdened by the events choices and character moments that happened in the last book, and let me tell you those were not great. I would describe this book as a drowning man trying to reach the surface with the lead book beings a lead weight around his neck

I enjoyed this chapter. I'm a little unhappy that the next chapter is unavailable. It's out of print or frelling expensive ($40 - $80) for a 90 page chapter...I recommend chapter 7 and wish I could get 8. Good luck if you want to read the whole thing; I'd just like to read it and it would be great if all 9 were on Kindle. On to the last chapter!
