I guess I read too many fantasy books - or remember too much of what I read.  Don't get me wrong - I am thoroughly enjoying these books.But when the evil Dark Elves showed up and the author described them, all I was waiting for was for them to say they were from Menzobarranzan and they had brought their driders with them to aid in the battle.  The comparison to the Drow of the RA Salvatore books in the continuing story of Drizz't Do'Urden is just too similar to be a coincidence.  Women rule the Houses, males are incidental and their cruelty to each other is legendary.  It's just clear Ben Hale is also a fan of R.A. Salvatore.But the main characters are engaging and well developed - I think more time could be spent telling us more about who they are in more depth, but this is not my tale to tell, so it is what it is.I will read the whole series and cheer for the good guys.  I firmly believe that if you are a champion of the light, you will prevail.
