Abyss by Troy Denning
3.0
So this book picks up all the disparate threads of story and plot and runs them all together. About halfway through this book I had to flop it down on my chest and try to figure out where everything is going.
I didn't succeed but it was fun trying to puzzle it all out and I have a few ideas, we'll just have to see how that all works out.
I think that this culmination of lines is why the last book wasn't great. There were too many disparate plotlines. The author knew that they were going to be revealed in the next book and they just had to take all the lines and keep them juggling and moving around without them really going anywhere.
I don't think that should have happened for an entire book, but I guess when you want things fast and are having 3 different authors write a continuous story at the same time you make sacrifices.
