It's crazy the amount of power halisstra now wields endurimg through eternal torment and servitude

I'm really digging this so far, I had forgotten about halisstras brother during the escape from ched nasad

Starting from the crescendo of the end of the war of the spider queen and seeing it from a different perspective is cool but the chess game between God's was awesome

Nooooo! The ending was good and makes sense overall but my favorite character got screwed.

Finally the demon army comes into play. I genuinely thought they would be a bigger part not that im disappointed

We're at the crescendo, i love that we also follow Gromph in Menzo through this

All the players are converging, no new deaths and I'm worried for the characters that don't make appearances in the legend of drizzt main entries.

There are already so many players that the demon vhaerun strong armed is easy to forget

"Keep allies within reach of your sword, but keep enemies within reach of your knife" - an old drow proverb

The Demonweb Pits , truly awful and truly disturbing

The bitch is back!!! We have our first loss on the team and an amazing comeback moment.

Oh we're cooking now

Of fucking course, it's always vengeance leading to a downfall when you already have everything you wanted

I'm glad big bag daddy gromph is back

Oh there is some weird stuff going on with this. I'm digging it.

Halisstra is taking center stage which isn't something I expected honestly. This series has me enthralled.

Halisstra switched sides quick and I was kind of hoping for a major character that becomes a werewolf but we'll see.

Well things are ramping up quickly. I don't like the group being split up but I'm intrigued to see where it goes. At this point I'm genuinely concerned I hadn't heard of some of these characters before because that could mean they don't survive the war.

I'm loving this, it really is game of thrones but forgotten realms edition.

I think this may be the first beholder I've seen in any of the forgotten realms books I've read

We're hitting a messy part of the series where the chemistry in the team is getting muddy and now they're splitting apart. We've not got multiple gods in the mix.

We're back on the surface and of course everyone is starting to go for each other's throats. Pharaun's prophecy is intriguing and I have zero clue where the next 3 books in the series will be going.

All of the characters of course reaching the same city at the same time and gearing up for war even.

I don't like the change in halistras attitude regarding dinafae. I feel like it might be because of the author changing between the two books but it is a little jarring

At least we have some idea of the overall bad guys and we've reached the world above

I've really grow to love these characters despite them all being evil ( at least relative to the Companions of the hall) including the 2 newcomers. I'm really invested to see what becomes of them all after this, should they survive.

I'm really digging this one, Ched Nassad is incredibly intriguing after all this time in menzo. All the characters are growing on me exponentially and the overall story is ramping strongly.

Ched Nasad sounds absolutely gorgeous and I would love to see more from there. I'm really starting to like Pharaun and god help me, Quenthel.

I do love how we got an "origin" story of sorts in the first non to bring them all together here. Makes me nervous liking some of these characters as i dnd recall any of them showing up in the drizzt series ( not counting quenthel of course)

I had been wondering how Gromph and quenthels game would end...

It's honestly refreshing to read a story with no heroes, no good guys. Not a single morally just character at all and it is exciting.
