Resurrection by Paul S. Kemp
3.0
Resurrection is a well written book. But it was depressing for me. The bad guys win and all of the awful, loathsome people characters survive and win. I understand the point of the War of the Spider Queen series was to explore Lolth's return to the Faerun, but gosh, it was really disappointing to see the anything good get corrupted and ruined throughout the series.
I read the War of the Spider Queen books to get caught-up on all things Menzoberranzan before I read Night of the Hunter. And I stuck with the series so I did not miss any detail. But, it was hard to do as these characters fought among themselves, were petty, untrustworthy and all deserved to die, except the ones that did!
I am rambling. Again, Resurrection is very well written and Mr. Kemp does a great job of portraying the Spider Queen and her realm and the machinations of the dark elves in the Forgotten Realms. The characters are well developed before they arrive at this book in the series and Mr. Kemp retains all of their personalities and inclinations very well.
