Unique and great storyline for the Forgotten Realms shared setting. I really enjoyed the unique characters...and thought the main character in particular was one of the better post Spellplague characters created thus far - Torrin Ironstar. However, I thought some of the final developments in the story didn't really reflect how the story and characters were presented throughout most of the novel, almost as if the ending was rushed. Overall though, a good read.
The only thing keeping this from being rated at 5 stars is the unbalanced pacing of the book: the first two thirds of the novel plod along as Torrin investigates the cause of the plague, but the final quest to stop it seemed very rushed. Aside from this minor fault, this was easily one of my favorite D&D novels in a very, very long time, with a very strong conclusion.
Excellent read!
I really enjoyed the dwarf centric nature of the book, really felt for the main characters.
Nice portrayal of the gods as well.

Lisa was very much the tomboy growing up in Vancouver, British Columbia--playing in the woods behind her house, building tree forts, damming the creek, playing army with GI Joe dolls, swinging on ropes, playing flashlight tag, building models and go-carts (which she later rode down the street). She also liked reading science fiction novels from the 1940s, the Doc Savage series, and the Harriet the...more
