The reviewer also mentioned that the book serves as a bridge between larger events, which could be seen as both a strength and a weakness.

decent 3.00

The book is not great but good enough, focusing more on the hunt for Regis than the quest for Mithral Hall. The plot is engaging but not as tightly woven as other books in the series.

The reviewer found the book to be enjoyable but not exceptional. They appreciated the focus on the character Regis and the action scenes, but felt the plot was less tightly constructed compared to other books in the series. The reviewer also noted that the book serves as a bridge between larger events, which might make it feel less epic. Overall, it's a decent read that fans of the series will likely enjoy, but it doesn't stand out as a highlight.

Quick quotes

    The book is ostensibly about the hunt for Mithral Hall but ends up playing out a lot more like The Hunt for Regis.

    Artemis Entreri, the assassin on the run, is a compelling addition to the story.

    The action scenes are well-executed and keep the reader engaged.
