Resurrection (Forgotten Realms: R.A. Salvatore's War of the Spider Queen, Book 6)

?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 Faer?n, 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

A more than adequate effort by Kemp to finish up a complex series

Unlike many of the other reviewers here, I thought Paul Kemp did an admirable job of wrapping up The War of the Spider Queen series. With a mostly predetermined plot and outcome, he was seriously limited as to the number of options he could use to tell this story. His descriptive writing...

Resurrection(Forgotten Realms)

A great book, very well written. The plots and sub plots keep one fixed reading this book until the end. Great and almost non expected final main plot when the spider queen chooses her avatar between tree great drow females.

Kemp's very disappointing ending to a great series....

I was very disappointed in seeing Kemp advocates the survival of the least interesting characters (of males and females) of the whole series. SPOILER ALERT:I was particularly annoyed with Pharaun's end since he was one of the few character (maybe also Hallistra) I would have liked to read about...

Good and then bad and disjointed - this final edition was all over the place

To start, I really wanted to like this book. In fact, for the first 2/3 of it I truly did! This book had me thinking 4 stars until it took a complete turn toward the disconnected skips and hops. The last 1/3 of the book doesn't flow well and feels very disjointed with minimal resolution. It...

Dissapointing Finale

I hate this book with a passion. I hate it because it destroys everything the previous ones have weaved so carefully with blatant disregard to good storytelling. Why? Instead of clevery creating an unexpexted, yet clever resolution, finally paying off on all the setups, it squanders all its...

Here, good = stupid

This was a very disappointing ending for an initially exciting series. 1) No one familiar with the Forgotten Realms expected Lolth to be defeated here. However, at the end of Resurrection, everything is 100% back to business as usual for the drow city of Menzoberranzan.2) I didn't expect good to...

What's all of this complaining about?

I just finished Book 6 of this series and I'm wondering why there is all this complaining about people being disappointed? Of course, everyone is entitled to their opinion and such, but face it - this is DROW society we're talking about - the ending isn't going to be like so many of these happy...

not a bad conclusion

After reading all six books, this was not the best book, but nor was it the worst. I liked it for what it was, a conclusion that you knew was coming and there really wasn't a way to change it. Kemp did pretty well keeping the suspense going even though as a reader you knew what was going to...

Lacks Sympathetic Characters

Having different authors write each book in the series is a creative approach that mostly works, technically speaking. However, by the end of the series, I was left disappointed by the fact that all the protagonists were self-centered and deceitful. Call me old-fashioned, but I still believe that...

You've got to be kidding me

Wheter this was Paul Kemp's fault or Salvatore's does not matter. Whoever was behind it should be ashamed. You're better off just imagining what happens after book 5, and saving yourself the disappointment of this AWFUL ending to the series.
