In this third book of the Sundering series kicked off by R.A. Salvatore and the dark elf Drizzt, SCRIBE award-winning author Erin M. Evans thrusts her signature character Farideh into a maelstrom of devilish politics and magical intrigue that will have far-reaching implications for the future of the Forgotten Realms. As the chaos of the Sundering rages around her, young warlock Farideh faces a more personal turmoil wrought by a deal she made with a devil years ago. Hoping to protect her twin sister, she leaves everything she holds dear to assist a wizard in a scheme that pits the devils of the Nine Hells against the gods above. But when Farideh casts the spell to enter the wizards remote mountaintop fortress, she picks up a stowawaya Harper agent named Dahl who isnt so inclined to follow devilish demands. Dahl attempts to escape only to run into a village of odd people, lurking behind an impenetrable wall. Forced to gaze into the villagers souls, Farideh points out the ones who seem different, only to watch as the wizards guard carts them off to fates unknown. Are these villagers or prisoners? Are they blessed or doomed by the gods? As the wizards guessing game proves more and more diabolical, Farideh resolves to unravel his secretseven if it means shell lose her own soul to the Nine Hells. From the Hardcover edition.

Pickpick

Okay, so I'm rating this as a pick because for me it was but I want to emphasise that these books are probably only alright if you come in with an interest in #Forgottenrealms.

I had the same issue with this book as I did with the first in the sextet. Things splintered off into so many points of views that involved factions and history I was unfamiliar with. It also tied in with another series that I had not read.

Aliciaftw Maybe I'm just not intelligent enough for these books, but there was so much I was having to look up in the Forgotten Realms wiki in order to understand what was going on. I've switched to reading the #VaginalFantasy bookclub picks for Feb and I feel a bit relieved. I do like these books, but I'm appreciating something lighter. This particular book had the same strengths and weaknesses I've already mentioned in reference to the first two 6y
