La plaga de conjuros ha llegado a Faerun. El Tejido se está deshaciendo. La magia se ha descontrolado. En mitad de este cataclismo que sacude al mundo, Drizzt Do'Urden tendrá que replantearse todo aquello en lo que creía y, peor aún, tendrá que volver a librar batallas que ya creía ganadas. Cuando la plaga de conjuros se enfrenta a los restos de la piedra de cristal, surge un mal más antiguo, oscuro y amenazador. Drizzt necesitará toda la ayuda que pueda conseguir, como la de Cadderly y los clérigos del Espíritu Elevado, quienes también se verán sometidos a pruebas para las que no están preparados.

Much better than the Pirate King!(Which I could not even finish). ( )

Only perseverance, determination and stubbornness got me through this book. I recalled many times while reading this book the joy I used to have at reading the earlier books. Now after all this time 3 major characters get killed off just like that? To say nothing of the actual story itself which I found... boring. :( ( )

In the third book of the Transitions trilogy Drizzt and his friends faces a dreadful mighty enemy and much more.... the world itself torn apart from an another plane. Yes, the ending might be a shocker, but overall I liked it..... ( )

Oh, this book made want to throw it into a wall! This whole Transitions series was so infuriating to me! I feel like Salvatore doesn't like his characters anymore and is writing them out of obligation. I'm sorry, but I really don't like all the extras the Companions of the Hall of picked up like Cadderly, those annoying as heck dwarf brothers, Entreri or Jarlaxle (who I feel like this is character Drizzt was supposed to be originally). It seems that every novel in this series has ended with the bad guys winning. More realistic? Yes. What I want in my escapist fantasy novels? NO!

SPOILERS!

And I really hate how Regis and Catti-Brie met their ends. Catti-Brie has a brief scene, then gets taken out by magical energy and spends the rest of the novel as a useless MacGuffin. Regis doesn't even gets a scene at all. Just goes crazy and dies. You couldn't give them some honor in their deaths at all, Salvatore? Again, realistic? Yes. Good? NO!!

END OF SPOILERS!

Honestly, I haven't read any Drizzt books since this one. I can't bear it. I know deep down I'm being a petulant child who hates change, but too bad. I don't want any more from a world like what this one has become. ( )
