Title: awful. too bad they couldn't keep the series going
Review: The first book was excellent, and this one a major dissappointment. Pharaun has lost all his wit, Ryld has turned into a cardboard character and Quentel can sit in for the wicked witch of the west (her whip doesn't even make snide remarks anymore). The Dreagloth has turned into some kind of good samaritan and Ched Nasad isn't an amusing locale as backdrop. To add to all this, combats are skipped over instead of described in all their gory, spell throwing pyrokinetic glory. Who would skip combat descriptions in a FR novel?? This is where I get off the War of the Spider Queen train.
