Book Description

February 7, 2006
“Finding someone to finish a series after five novels from five different authors is no easy task. He’s got to be willing to find all the open roads the others have left for him. He’s got to do his homework, and quickly. And given the quality of his predecessors’ work, he’s got to be good . . . Enter Paul Kemp. Whew! Writers like this don’t come along every day.”

–R.A. Salvatore
The New York Times best-selling author of The Two Swords

THE SPIDER QUEEN LIVES AGAIN

But something is different, something her priestesses can hear in the winds, feel in their spirits, and for a select few see with their own eyes. The Demonweb Pits, removed from the Abyss to take its place among the lower planes, is more dangerous, more horrifying than anyone has ever imagined. Teeming with feral spiders bent on ripping each other to pieces– killing, eating, and killing again–the blasted landscape of Lolth’s personal hell is still forming.

Quenthel Baenre, with the tattered remnants of her expedition continuing to plot against her, crosses that spider-infested killing ground in hopes of answering the call of her reborn goddess. If she can make it to Lolth’s side, can she even imagine what plans the Queen of the Demonweb Pits has had for her all along?

The final novel in an epic six-part series from the fertile imaginations of R.A. Salvatore, and a select group of the newest, most exciting authors in the genre. Join them as they bring an end to a devastating war, and give birth to the greatest horror the Realms has ever known.

Danifae Yauntyrr, former battle-captive of House Melarn, has come too far to stop now. She has regained her freedom after years of servitude, but has yet to exact her revenge. Though she has gained much, grown in both power and ambition, and enjoys the protection of the powerful draegloth Jeggred Baenre, Danifae still needs to kill Halisstra Melarn. But how can she when she’s followed Quenthel and Pharaun into the heart of Lolth’s reformed domain, a hellish world of demonic spiders bent on eating each other, and anything else stupid enough to get in their way–including the chosen vessel of Lolth herself.

While Danifae wonders how she’ll ever take vengeance on a woman she left behind on the surface of Faerûn, the very target of her burning hatred is close on her heals. Halisstra has come to the Demonweb Pits with a very different agenda. In her hands she holds the fabled Crescent Blade, a sword she believes will grant her the power to kill Lolth herself–but only if they find her before she fully completes her own mysterious

More About the Author

Paul Kemp enjoys good beer, good wine, good company, and a fine scotch every now and again. He writes sword and sorcery and space opera and works very hard to make them a fun ride.

He is a graduate of the University of Michigan-Dearborn and the University of Michigan law school. When he's not writing , he practices corporate law in Detroit. Yes, that does make him a tool of "the Man," for which he shall bear everlasting shame.

He hopes you enjoy his novels.

4.0 out of 5 stars A solid, if expected ending to a depressing story January 11, 2010
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I'm not surprised there's a lot of negative reaction to the ending of this series. It's depressing as hell. I wager most of us didn't really think anything would change for the Forgotten Realms when the dust finally settled, but we were all holding our breath in hopes of seeing the bitch get whacked.

I'm not overly a fan of depressing endings, but they can't all be giant sunshine puppy rainbow fests. The writing was solid in my opinion, and some of the points other reviewers dislike (such as characters dying with little fanfare) are some of the stronger points in my eyes. People don't always die in the form of epic poetry in the arms of their lovers leaving behind profound least words. Sometimes when you play with fire enough you eventually get incinerated and left for dust without a second thought. Life's kinda that way, and the Drow have always been a subtle, realistic lesson about the hollow ends that await for those who live by the sword.

Notably, some of the ways in which characters dealt with their own chaotic moral struggles were very resounding. Taking a step away from the usual "I WEAR BLACK AND AM BAD" mentality typical of the genre, the writer delved into the realm of real human emotion, pain, and struggle with what is true or right. The final betrayal of one of the key character was disturbingly similar to the thought processes found in the real world where belief that one must protect themselves by striking first becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. We see the real motivational feelings under the surface of some of the bad guys. Not only the raw aggression and egotism worn as armor, but also squishy desperation and fear on the inside.

Overall, I enjoyed the book even if the ending was bittersweet and left me wanting to punch some one in a black hat. The examination of evil was refreshingly handled, which won it some points in my book.

3.0 out of 5 stars All's well that ends okay.... April 30, 2005
Format:Hardcover
Well, I must say I did enjoy this series of books, but the way the whole thing ended was a bit disappointing. It seemed to offer more questions than it acutally answered. I was mad that my favorite character had to die and was even madder than another character died in a way in which he should not have been killed. He was meant to die a "different" way. There were a few storylines for earlier books in the series that never got resolved. I look forward to the possibility of this story continuing in another saga, but we'll have to wait and see I guess. All in all, I found the ending to a great saga to be a little thin...

5.0 out of 5 stars A couple disapointing parts but overall very good March 2, 2006
By Brando
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I don't see why everyone dislikes this novel so much. Yes big changes were hinted at throughout this whole series and did not really come thought at the end, but does it always take a huge change in the realms to please people now? The drow are such a cash cow for novels now they could not possibly kill of Lloth and possibly alter the structure of Drow society and the image of the drow. *****spoiler***** i knew from the start of it that Lloth was going to remain basically the same at the end of the story. One of my favorite parts of the novel focused on Gromph attempting to slip into the drow house, if you read it you know what I am talking about but i don't want to spoil everything.

I thought Paul Kemp did a great job writing this novel. You have to remember that he had to follow the storyline and did not have free rein to do whatever he wanted. Even if this novel disappointed you I suggest checking out Kemp's Cale trilogy and his work in the Sembia series.

*****spoiler******

I only things that mildly upset me was the death of Pharuan and that Jeggred lived.
