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.
I read the entire "War of the Spider Queen" series back to back, so it's hard to rate each book separately. Set in the familiar forgotten realms universe, the characters encounter perils that get more dangerous as the series progresses. Filled with the distrust and backstabbing that has come to be expected with drow in this world, there are still occasional moments of tenderness and soul searching, making this a very worthwhile read.
The various quests continue and nobody dies. Good reading pace and interesting settings and encounters. Better character development makes it more interesting than previous books in series.
I loved this book. It was at first loaned to me by a friend and I feel in love with this story. The way their personnalities are written made this even better. I loved this!
