Condemnation

Richard Baker tells the continuation of that bickering party from Menzoberranzan onto the surface world and then into the Abyss itself. While he does stick to the general tendencies of the main characters, the author also tried to push the boundaries as well - Pharaun and Valas became wittier than usual, while Quenthel actually became more bitchy - a little too much actually, unbecoming of a Mistress of the Academy. The use of teleportation and extradimensional travel at certain points in the story felt more like fast-forwarding shortcuts than probable means of travel. Still, it's a solid enough read and the plot overall is nicely done.
