This is another Lex story. Gryph, the main character (MC), in most of the series is gone and part of the story is about Lex and the gang trying to find someway to get him back. There are a few interesting plot twists here, but minimal RPG progression. Part of that has to do with the higher levels everyone is getting to, but another part is just that the story takes place somewhere that the game mechanics have a hard time coping with. Still, it's something that I’d missed. There was also one or two times the story felt a little wand wavy, but mostly really solid stuff.
Other than that, the novel was rather good. It zipped by in no time and I found myself just going along for the chaotic ride. Good action, nice chance to see Lex take center stage, and a way to wrap up a story thread from the last book and introduce a new one.
Score: 7.7 out of 10
