This was a fantastic end to the trilogy. It didn’t connect to the first two volumes that much, but the standalone story was fantastic. I loved seeing the dwarven hold and reading more of Khal’s poetry, and the monsters were very unique and dynamic. Even though this volume was shorter than the first two, it didn’t feel rushed. The story was told in as much time as it needed to be, and it felt good. A very satisfying read.

Kinda bummed this series never continued past this. As archetypal and fluffy as it was, I got attached to a few of these characters and the brisk pace meant they were always a joy to read. Definitely recommend the series to d&d fans!

Probably my favorite of the three trades, and while I'm sad to see it go, I'm glad it was able to go out on what appears to be a high note. Lots of Dwarvey fun, a ridiculous Beholder...couldn't really ask for much else.

Back to good form after the previous collection. The adventure this time focuses on the background of the dwarven paladin/poet, but it doesn't make use of flashbacks which were a draw back last time. So we get a nice blending of action and humor without a long dead zone in the middle. It does end before wrapping up at least one plot thread, but most likely that plot thread will just reset to what was happening before this story took place.
