Such a great book. It definitely had its flaws, but still a great entry in the series. Necromancy is not my favorite of the arcane arts in fantasy literature, so maybe that's why I wasn't blown away by it. The ending was really good though.

With a bigger picture of the epic 7-book story unfolding, the third world tells of a dark and grim story of a mistake that led to disastrous and far-reaching consequences. The mood in this book is superbly portrayed.
As the Death Gate Cycle books progress they get better and better! I loved the character development of Haplo and Alfred. Both are drastically different from when the series started. They are learning that the worlds are not so black and white. Can't wait to see where their paths lead. I am very curious about the dog after certain events in this book and hope that the later novels provide answers to many questions I have about the creature now.
There was a big gap where I left the book for a bit. Haplo needs to ease up on his prejudice and he seems to be making those steps. Slowly. Very slowly.
