“Curse of the Spider King” is as good as I remember it. The only bad thing I see in it is how it has such a slow pacing so early in the book. From page 29-40 there’s a huge backstory about the Gwar’s (the bad guys) raid on the Elves that can really confuse you if you’re reading too fast. Another personal issue I have with this book is how fast some characters were introduced. I’m not the best with names, so having to remember 3 more names every few pages is hard.
A quote that really stuck out to me was, “One wrong move, he thought morbidly, and a Gwar could die of starvation before he hit the bottom.” This just goes to show how intense the situation is in this flashback. It is interesting to read through this lore though. Once I finish reading through this long flashback, I’ll write more about my thoughts on the story.
