Resurrection, the finale of the wonderful series “The War of the Spider Queen”. Well what can I say? The book blew me away. I seriously loved Mr. Kemp’s way of presenting the characters. He always seems to know how to give them life as he did with his Erevis Cale Trilogy. I waited so long for this book to arrive after I ordered it (three weeks, damn slow mail) and I have to say it was exciting reading it. Though I was disappointed greatly by the death of one of my favorite characters, again who wouldn’t? Never the less, that wouldn’t stop me from considering the book one of my favorites.
The story revolved around Quenthel, Jeggred, Danifae, and Pharaun heading up to meet the Spider Queen. All of them are hearing a whisper in the air of a Yor’thae, which means the chosen one. Both high priestesses are fighting mentally and somewhat physically to prove to the other that they are the Yor’thae. All the while, Helisstra was on her own mission of hunting down the Yor’thae and killing the spider queen. She enters a portal that takes her and two priestesses of the dark lady to the plane of the spider queen. The basic idea for them is to head for the gates of soulreaver and pass through to meet Lolth. Gromph on the other hand has destroyed his arch nemesis Dyrr, the archlich. He knows fully that he hasn’t killed the lich completely without destroying lich’s the soul gem. knowing where it was located he put it onto himself with a very minor help of two other beanre wizards, to hunt for it by attacking House Dyrr.. If you want to know what happens next? Read the book yourself cause I ain’t telling ya!
I personally have to say it’s the best book of all sixth. I am not rating this because story wise, cause I have to say I am greatly disappointed by one of the character death, but the sense of life I get from it. I loved the witty remarks that Pharaun cracks up anytime he gets the chance to. I loved the way Danifae uses her talent and skills to manipulate her way through. It’s not only the life I get from the characters but the way the plot was played out was genius. Paul was given an order to make ****** the Yor’thae and that’s it. He plotted out all the rest of the book and from what I read he did a very creative job doing so. Talk is cheap now, so grab some cash, walk out to the nearest bookstore, purchase the book, and check it out yourself.
