Description

As Liriel and Fyodor navigate the surface world to deliver a magical artifact, the drow elves beneath their feet plot revenge
 
Crossing the wide realms of Faerûn in search of adventure, the dark elf princess Liriel Baenre and her companion Fyodor find themselves in the barbarian’s homeland of Rashemen. They come bearing the Windwalker amulet, though the gift of a magical artifact does not guarantee a warm welcome—especially when it’s carried by a drow elf. In this land ruled by show more witches, Liriel must disguise herself lest she spark the people’s hatred of dark elves.
 
Yet from the deep tunnels of the Underdark, eyes glittering with malice are watching her every move, preparing for vengeance. And chief among them is the dark goddess who Liriel still unwittingly serves.

This book was pretty basic. It was simply an adventure story. There wasn’t growth or difficult decisions for the characters to make really; it was just a story of something that happened. It was relatively exciting, but it just didn’t have that spark that makes a really great book.
