Entertaining and Enjoyable Read!, July 18 2004

Having read all of the War of the Spider Queen Series, I would say that I am impressed by all the authors who had the difficulty of working on such a project as this. But I must say that I was surprised at Phillip Athans. After having read his book,Baldur's Gate, I hated his work. But after reading Annihilation I was very surprised. I enjoyed the violence, bloodshed, and overall dark fantasy type writing that he envoked in this book.

An Amazing Read!!!, Jun 16 2004
