Editorial Review: Product Description: Is it the end for the Lady Penitent? Is it the end for Lolth? Lolth has come out of hibernation with a plan that may seem too ambitious even for her, and to pull it off she'll need the help of a drow who's betrayed her at least once already--a drow she's transformed into the demonic Lady Penitent. The shocking conclusion to a trilogy that will change the Forgotten Realms world forever. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Just not good.Sadly, I feel bad for Lisa Smedman. It seems quite clear that she was given a start and a finish for this story by her bosses, and was rushed on how to deliver those two things. Much of the Forgotten Realms history and lore was completely forgotten or ignored in this book which again saddens me. Further, anyone who knows the Forgotten Realms lore and history will see the huge holes in this book and the glaring dramatic incompetance of the characters. Additionally, the plausible ... Read More Rating:  - Mixed feelingsAscendancy of the Last is the closing book in The Lady Penitent trilogy, featuring big changes in drow pantheon, and around the drow themselves. First book Sacrifice of the Widow (Forgotten Realms: The Lady Penitent, Book 1) came out disappointing, given its good plot and author's writing skills, but book two Storm of the Dead (Forgotten Realms: The Lady Penitent, Book 2) was simply great, with everything clicking together, for me at least. Like previous two books, this one is written in a ... Read More Rating: - Woah- dont read this book if you like your characters to stay ALIVE!This was a very interesting book to say the least. Although it seemed a little less satisfying to me compared to the previous two volumes, it was a conclusion that not only has a lot of things happen, but it leaves room for some serious development of some characters like Q'arland and his band of merry magicians. For those who have read the previous two volumes, be warned- the World of the Drow is about to be changed forever (as "forever" as it can be, until TPTB decided to change ... Read More Rating: - Ascendancy of the Last (Lady Penitent III)Wow! Changes this big to the pantheon of deities are rare! Lisa has done it already in this series by eliminating two members of the Drow pantheon. I really didn't expect what she did here and that is what I like about her writing. She really makes major changes to the world. Dieties rarely die or cease to exist. This could make great plots to the D&D gamers who follow the books. I read every book that comes out about the Underdark, and Lisa continues to do superb work. If you read Salvatore's ... Read More Rating:  - Did not dissapoint, very enjoyable!I, for one, enjoyed this third book very much - I was captivated through the story which provided sufficient amount of non-linear plot, double-crosses, weaves and turns to make it very entertaining. I would recommend this to anyone who has read the previous two. While I rate the story on a high side, I would say characters were not growing as much as in the previous books, but then there was a LOT that needed to be covered in this one. While this is true, I feel that the focus was more on ... Read More
