That was a strong finish to the series. Yeah, the good guys really don't win, but we knew that was going to happen when the series started, so the bitter taste that leaves isn't as bad as it could be.
What I liked: strong battle scenes and evocative locations. The puzzle of Gromph Baenre trying to puzzle out the location of (and then destroy) the Lichdrow's phylactery was actually a lot of fun. The final battle of Pharun was exciting, and ingenious.
What I didn't like: Halisstra's fall was too abrupt. Descriptions of locations especially in the Demonweb Pits in the last half of the book were very confusing. The Pass of the Soulreaver was rushed and unfinished; especially Danifae's dream sequence there.
