Synopsis: |
A blood witch is planning on taking over a forest and then some towns, or something. She fools the local oracles who have foiled past plots by pretending to be their god. She raises necromantic forces to take over.
Concurrently, a man with angelic blood
in him, a devotee to Hoar, the god of justice [you have NO idea how
much I laughed at that] is a wandering justice dispensor. He wanders
into the situation and is attempting to stop the blood witch.
Finally, you have 2 sisters, one an
oracle, one a hunter who are both fighting to protect their town from
complete and utter devastation. Enemies within and without make the
job that much harder. Plus dead parents and all the baggage that
means.

My Thoughts: |
This was trash. It was a poor storyline, poorly executed and poorly written. Davis knows his grammar rules, thankfully, so there were no aggregious misuses of your/you're, etc. But telling the story? My goodness. The motivation for everyone was clear as mud.
I completely skimmed the last 25% and
STILL had a tough time finishing. It didn't help that I was coming
off a book that I also didn't like, so this was like rubbing salt in
the wound.
It did force me to decide if I wanted
to continue this Wizards sub-series
and the answer was a resounding “NO!”. Sometimes Forgotten Realms
books are just junk and you have to chuck them out the window to keep
your sanity.
