A challenging undertaking to combine so many characters and storylines into one story. Perhaps the author should have left out the entire Behren storyline. Too much was happening in a small space.

Right or wrong I tend to compare Salvatore's novels against his Drizzt Forgotten Realms novels.
So how does this compare?
This is the 7th book in the Demon Wars Saga and it tells one long epic tale.
While I liked the characters in Demon Wars I still prefer the Companions of the Hall.
For story and plot though...the Demon Wars books are on an epic scale that was not afforded Salvatore when he wrote the Drizzt books. In these books decisions and choices have ramifications across an entire world while in the Realms Salvatore had to remain more self contained.
And while I do prefer the Realms characters more - Salvatore was able to get much deeper into the characters in the Demon Wars books.
So how do these books compare to Drizzt?
They compare very favorably. Which one is better is a personal preference but the Demon Wars novels stand up on their own and I would recommend them to most anyone.
Good stuff
Good guys vs. bad guys
Magic
Battles
Plot twists
Death
Friendship
I enjoyed this one quite a bit.
