Another, more head spinning conclusion in the order of a hundred pages but with triple crosses and four different groups to track - 😬 - it's smarter than me! The double-double crossing has me wondering if that was necessary. I also took a massive break, which was a mistake. The two formerly bad guys do get some good exposure center stage. Ambitious, to say the least.

Clearly missing Alfred in this installment, but choc full of world building grit and grain for the D&D setting this didn't become. Perhaps too few new characters introduced as has been the format is another disappointment to some readers. We meet a few old cast members in order to turn pages to the big second act where it's All vs. Serpents 🐍
