The Chaos Curse

1994R. A. Salvatore

4.1/5

Well, it's an ending. I wasn't sure what to expect after the Big Bad was defeated in book 4 of 5. Overall, I liked how the threat of the first book's Chaos Curse took a twist into an entirely different type of threat to the Edificant Library. I also very much liked that Cadderly was de-powered since the prior book. I did not care for the dearth of new character development, with two exceptions: Pikel (he of the multiple TBI's) gaining some minor new druidic abilities, and Cadderly's final disposition, which I am not convinced fits with his character in the rest of the series, but at least draws the pentalogy to a satisfying close and limits the number of characters that we might see in future books (I only know by heresay of the Bouldershoulder brothers showing up again in Salvatore's later Forgotten Realms novels). As in book 4, the word count is truncated compared to other Forgotten Realms novels published to date, so much so that even with a sparse font and page margins, they had to include 30 pages of preview of the next Drizzt novel to get the paperback thickness up to standard for this series.
