Reception

One reviewer called the book "a serviceable but ultimately disappointing finale to what was otherwise an excellent couple of books." The reviewer pointed to the clichéd start to the novel, and the use of exposition to reveal the plot as the weakest parts of the book. Other concerns were the slow pace as the point of view switches back and forth from various groups of protagonists, and the use of the magical finder's stone as a ''deus ex machina'' device. The reviewer concluded by giving the book a grade of C, saying, "the execution is just so flat and sloppy that I can’t help but wonder what went wrong here. A pity, really." On the RPG.net site, readers have given this book an aggregate rating of 5.00 out of 10, ranking it #12,814th; both of these are significantly lower than the first two books of the Finder's Stone trilogy.
