I would say this book is competently written.
It's hard to rate this book because I was really not interested in Lucien and really only read it to read about the Aeor arc through the Tomb Taker perspective as a whole (as well as the Mighty Nein).
This book didn't really make me care any more or less about him as a whole. If you were already interested in him, then this book should be just fine for you.
If anything, I'd say there was a missed opportunity to flesh out the Tomb Takers a bit more. This book is presented as snippets of Lucien's journey and he does seem to treat the Tomb Takers as a sort've found family as dnd parties are oft to do. The only problem was that we have one mission with them all together, then plot drives them apart and then its the aeor arc where Lucien has gone full cult leader. The evidence was there, just would've liked to have seen it more, especially with Cree.
The character Brevyn was okay, I think her role in the story is a bit cliche though
