Excellent ending of this 6-book series, each by a different author. Kemp is definitely one of the better ones as he managed to stay true to each of the characters, the plot, and the overall theme.
The story flows very smoothly from the start, building up tension, and picks up speed towards the end, shooting to a conclusion. The author has a flair with describing scenery and situations, and kudos to staying true to the characters, most especially Pharaun - back to why I really liked him in the first place. What happened to him at the end... well, let's just I was disappointed, but the little maybe-not hook that was added in was a superb touch.
Also deserving special mention are the parts that focused on Gromph were also very nicely told and described; a very refreshing and interesting part of the tale.
The motivations and plot twists all stayed true - the drow to their ruthless nature, and Lolth to her chaotic nature. The nature of chaos, alluded to by Lolth her self in the story, is what many people totally missed when reviewing or commenting on the last few chapters. The visions, their motivations, their abrupt ends, the senselessness of certain acts... that is the very essence of what is means to be a follower of Lolth.
