Rating: 
Summary: Best book in the series
Review: Witch's Daughter is the best book of this trilogy. Yes, it does suffer from a plot that is riddled with fantasy cliche (evil warlock, stupid minions, gallant nature-loving elves, etc.) its saving grace is that it is just so darned readable. It is tight and amazingly action-packed, particularly the first third of the novel, which is almost impossible to stop reading. The middle of the book gets a bit bogged down, but the reader is rewarded with a stellar concluding battle sequence. At times, Witch's daughter is predictable, and its character's far too invincible, but in the end, Salvatore's narrative power proves enough to smother the book's flaws.
