The Amber Enchantress by Troy Denning

5.0

I enjoyed this one much more than the previous two during my reread. I found the characters very nuanced and that they held true to their tenets. In particular the descriptions of the magic used by Sadira and others captured the imagination. The use of spell components has not been better described and it is in no way tedious. The unique spells and effects were simultaneously gruesome and captivating.

Sadira's internal struggle with defiling was I think well done. She moralized it at times and decried it at times. In the end she seemed to have made her decision but it is easy to have a clear conscious when one is removed from the decisionmaking
