The Adversary by Erin M. Evans

4.0

The Sundering has turned out to be an excellent way to jump back into the world of Forgotten Realms. The series is serving as a quick update of what's going on with some of the major characters of the world and is setting up a bigger event that I'm guessing will spawn some new and unique adventures like nothing in the setting's history.

The Adversary is the third installment and primarily follows the Tiefling Farideh and the twists and turns she faces as she continues to navigate the pact she made with a devil, Lorcan, and begins to learn more about her family history. The book is well-written and is up there with [b:The Companions|16142151|The Companions (The Sundering, #1; Legend of Drizzt, #24)|R.A. Salvatore|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1372353196s/16142151.jpg|21974017], which opened the series. One thing that did make me struggle a bit is that the beginning seems to move very quickly compared to the rest of the book, so it felt a bit jarring, but once things smooth out a bit, it really flows nicely. I'm definitely looking forward to the 4th installment.
