Description
The devastating War of the Spider Queen comes to an end, giving birth to the greatest horror the Realms has ever knownThe Spider Queen lives again, but something is different—something her priestesses can hear in the winds, feel in their spirits, and see with their own eyes. The Demonweb Pits, removed from the Abyss to take its place among the lower planes, is more horrifying than anyone has ever imagined. Teeming with feral spiders bent on ripping each other to pieces—killing, eating, show more and killing again—the blasted landscape of Lolth’s personal hell is still forming.
Quenthel Baenre, with the tattered remnants of her expedition continuing to plot against her, crosses that spider-infested killing ground in hopes of answering the call of her reborn goddess. If she can make it to Lolth’s side, can she even imagine what plans the Queen of the Demonweb Pits has had for her all along?
Danifae Yauntyrr—a former battle-captive of House Melarn—has followed Quenthel into the Pits, but even the hellish conditions cannot distract her from her true mission: kill Halisstra Melarn. While Danifae contemplates vengenace, the very target of her burning hatred is not far behind, following her own hidden agenda. Halisstra holds the fabled Crescent Blade, a sword she believes will grant her the power to kill Lolth herself—but only if they find her before she fully completes her own mysterious resurrection. show less

I do not know why i for some reason expected anything resembling a happy ending from this series but it is AN ending for sure. Loved the stuff with the yugoloths, that was very cool - Corpsehaven is an entire Vibe and I adore it.
Absolutely no-one in this series had a good time, they were all awful and nothing nice happened for anyone. It's still a fun read, though, with lots of cool magical things happening and horrible awful locations to inspire you.

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.
Overall, a fairly good book to end the series. There are plenty of windows for follow on books. Not all of the ends were tied.
Personal shot: To me, Pharaum and Danifae seem to be the best image of a Drow. A bit disappointed but glad that Pharaum got his.

Nice conclusion of a great series. Especially Pharaun was a great character.
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!
The War of the Spider Queen finishes up.
Basically everybody in the group dies except three females. One who becomes the new Lolth, one who returns as high priestess to Menzoberranzan and the final one who becomes the Lady Penitent, a slave to Lolth.
Lots of fighting and magical battles and such.
