I really enjoyed this book a lot, but I just wish that the ending would have better. You really get wrapped up in the story-line and as you are nearing the end of the book you find yourself truly hoping that Gilthanas finds Silvara. But once you reach the last page you realize that the story ends right where it began. On the upside though, the plot is excellent and the appendix of this book proves valuabe to anyone who is role-playing using the Fifth Age Rules. Overall, a great book, I can hardly wait for the continuation!
