Summary: It's not bad, but not great.
Comment: I recently picked this up after waiting for it's release since the second book came out. Richard Baker does a great job describing the details of the surface world and the Underdark. It seems to me he skipped parts and didn't describe battles, but flashed forward to after something happend. I don't know the reason why, but I found it slightly annoying. This book is a good read, and is worth it for those who have read the previous 2. The storyline is good, and the characters are developed quite well. He follows well to the rules of the AD&D world and does a masterful job in describing spells being casted.
Definetly a good book for those already involved with the storyline. Looking forward to the next book, too bad its not coming out sooner.

Summary: Great story, mediocre writing, unforgivable editing
Comment: After the first two books I was sure I was reading one of the great fantasy series ever concocted. Storywise I still believe I am. Beyond that, everything's starting to decline.
While I have heard many good things about Richard Baker, I don't think I will go out of my way to read anything else of his now that I've seen a sample of his writing. It seemed as though they were trying to include to much in this one book and he subsequently didn't give any of it enough attention. It reads like he was either rushed or too lazy to give it the time and attention a story this great, or any story really, deserves.
What ever the reason behind the books lack of content, there is NO excuse for the pathetic editing. For a first edition book, a comma here or a puncuation mark there is forgivable (and there have been a couple I've caught in this series). INCLUDING PARTS OF THE ROUGH DRAFT IN THE FINAL COPY IS INEXCUSABLE! Mistakes like talking to characters who aren't even in the scene, causes the readers attention to be distracted by the writing itself rather than engulfed by what is written.
READ THIS BOOK THOUGH, THE STORY'S GREAT and skipping books in in this series will only leave you lost and greatly diminish you're enjoyment of the series as a whole.
Rating: 4
Summary: Good but slow to get there
Comment: This is a good book but generally long winded as the previous one was. A good read if you have the patience. Over all I would suggest it to any of R.A. Salvatores or Richard Bakers Fan's.
