Description

The race to understand the secrets of Lolth’s silence—and the future of drow civilization—continues in this third War of the Spider Queen adventure

From the burning sands of Anauroch to the limitless labyrinth of the Underdark, an epic quest for the Spider Queen takes one startling turn after another. Powerful forces are at work to find answers to the question on every drow’s mind: Where has Lolth gone? Will she return as something greater than what she was, or has she abandoned her show more drow children forever?
 
Though priestess Quenthel Baenre and her Menzoberranzan companions have learned much during their search for the truth, they must now rely on the aid of a rival priest named Tzirik. He agrees to inquire about their missing goddess—but only after they bring him the Geildirion of Cimbar, a secret book of lore from Myth Drannor. With no choice but to trust Tzirik's word, the group races to retrieve the book before Menzoberranzan suffers the same fate as Ched Nasad . . .

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.
Continuing to enjoy this series and the stakes ramping up. Love to see various machinations and schemes coming to fruition! Absolute chaos!
the group tries to find a wizard of another god to help them. He does, but betrays them and allows his god to enter and try to kill Lolth.

No real desire to read the rest of the series. The drow are just horrible. Backstabbing, no trust, no hope. No race could have gone on like that for real. It would have imploded or torn itself apart.
The story continues... and nothing really happens that surprises you. Feels like an in-between book setting up stages for the next book.

Las fuerzas alineadas contra Menzoberranzan empiezan a cobrar forma, y la amenaza a la civilización drow es más terrorífica de lo que nadie imaginó. Desde las impenetrables sombras de la Antípoda Oscura hasta los rincones lejanos del Mundo de la Superficie, el camino hasta el secreto del silencio de Lloth es tan impredecible como mortal. Asociados con dos drows que podrían ser las últimas supervivientes de Ched Nasad, los exploradores de Menzoberranzan han descubierto muchas cosas, pero por cada respuesta que encuentran surgen un millar de nuevas preguntas. Deben buscar a un clérigo rival con la esperanza de que acortará el camino hasta la misma diosa, pero ¿puede un elfo oscuro confiar en otro elfo oscuro?
