I had a hard time enjoying a large portion of this - for personal reasons, not poor writing. 

So Wulfgar and Catti-brie are supposed to get married, and before they even tie the knot they start having problems because Wulfgar starts acting like a misogynistic asshole. He doesn’t want Catti-brie adventuring or putting herself in any hint of danger, even though she’s proved time and again that she is a badass. Understandably Catti-brie is not on board with the plan.

Later, Wulfgar’s overprotectiveness gets him killed. The death itself is brutal, but I wasn’t particularly sad for him. It’s just a shame because he had such incredible character growth throughout The Crystal Shard; this sort of erases all that.

Also, at this point, the whole hunt for Drizzt trope feels beat to death. Entreri’s one track minded quest just to battle Drizzt on even terms one last time feels tiresome. They barely know each other - bro, let it go. 

Kind of a frustrating read, but not a bad book.
