New York Times bestseller The mystery of Lolth remains, leaving the drow to wonder if she has truly turned her back on them forever. In this fourth installment in the War of the Spider Queen series, priestess Quenthel Baenre and her fellow drow adventurers continue their quest for the truth—and this time, the stakes are higher than ever. Now they must travel to a place from which few ever return: the Demonweb Pits of the Abyss. But not all of Quenthel’s companions are confident in their faith. Disheartened by Lolth’s silence, priestess Halisstra Melarn becomes enamored of a different goddess, calling her loyalty to Lolth into question . . .

The fourth book deals with the drow party's quest to find a means of travel to return to the Abyss, the attack on Menzoberranzan, and the focus on Ryld and Hallistra's relationship. It's somewhat obvious that was written by a female hand as there was more dwelling on the emotional side of things and the pace had been slowed down. The plot actually moves only a little in this book, but enough goes on to justify a book, particularly with the invasion. What I'm not sure about is how Quenthel is being broken. Whether this was a conscious design effort made by the author or Salvatore, I don't know, but I'm not quite liking how irrationally Quenthel is changing.
