A review by hyzryan
The Memory of Souls by Jenn Lyons
4.0
It's overall 4 / 4.2 stars for me, easier to read compared to the previous two books because I am already familiar with the lore, and there are not too many new characters that come into the plot.
Once again the side-character interaction takes the spotlight for me (especially between Thurvishar & Senera, Grizzt & Valathea also great addition to the cast) While Kihrin still is Kihrin which is not that good in my opinion as the main character. (Passable, but not great).
A missed opportunity to explore more background for the eight immortals since they take quite big set pieces on the plot. For example between Argas & Taja which we can see at the beginning of the book but not justified enough for what happened later. (Please also provide more story about the dragon, since each of them is also interesting, whether from the identities, ability, and their own cornerstones)
Finally, Jenn Lyons steps up the scale of battle scenes which is one of the weak points in previous entries which is good even though there is room for improvement but overall good.
The ending also interesting, which I expect to read within this month.
