The exciting finale to the Sembia Gateway to the Realms series!
Thamalon Uskevren II, the heir to Stormweather Towers, never expected to inherit so much so quickly. When his parents and Erevis Cale vanish without a trace, Tamlin must rally what's left of his family and try to solve a mystery whose roots lie deep beneath Stormweather, before a deadly assassin ends the Uskevren line forever.
As with the previous titles in this series, Lord of Stormweather is perfect for introducing new listeners to the magic, mystery, and intrigue of the Forgotten Realms world.

First, I'll say that Gross really knows how to pace a book. He juggles four different POV characters here through alternating chapters, but does so without leaving you feeling anxious or lost. It isn't like "Black Wolf," where he struggled to justify why some of the characters featured so prominently, leaving me practically skimming their chapters to get to Tal's. Instead, each POV here is a major character from a previous novel, and Gross has you invested in their ultimate fate until the last page. In fact, he does a great job of rewarding readers that followed the characters' adventures in the short stories published in "Dragon:" at least three (dealing with Cale, Radu, and Shaumur) are directly referenced here. He also does a great job of conveying atmosphere and setting, making the novel almost play like a movie in my head. I felt like I whipped through this book without feeling like I rushed through any details.After seven novels and numerous short stories, Gross had to make sure in the end that we felt satisfied with the outcome. I have to say that he mostly got us there. He wrapped up numerous loose ends, and almost every character is brought to a fairly specific point by the end. I had a question about Tal's relationship with Feena that I think the subsequent "Mistress of the Night" novel will address, but, otherwise, Gross makes almost everyone's new status quo clear. My only real complaint is that he does such a great job of wrapping up previous novels' dangling threads that he fails to do the same for this one's. I won't go into details, but we're left with a fairly large question mark about a major aspect (if not "the" major aspect) of the plot of this novel. Now, again, it might get addressed in subsequent novels, like the Erevis Cale series, but it plays a large enough role in this book that we really should've had an answer.
But, other than this oversight, it's a fitting ending to a series that did really get me re-engaged with the Realms. I'd highly recommend the series if you've been away from the Realms for a while. It'll make you excited about them all over again.

Lord of Stormweather Forgotten Realms Sembia Book 7 (Audible Audio Edition) Dave Gross Jeremy Arthur Audible Studios Books Reviews
Great read! Loved how they perfectly blended all the characters from the series into an epic ending!
Thank you so much! I am very happy with the product and it's quality! I look forward to future purchases.
Great book and conclusion to the series.
I very much liked the way the author pulled in relevant material from all the books in the series, as well as from other novels that centered on Erevis Cale and the Uskrevan family. Well written and entertaining.
"Lord of Stormweather" is the seventh and final installment in the very good "Sembia" series of novels. This time, the emphasis is on Tamlin, the heir to Uskreven fortune. The book is written by Dave Gross, who wrote Black Wolf (Forgotten Realms Sembia series, Book 4), in my opinion the best book of the series so far.
I just loved this book from the very beginning to the end. This novel offers more substance than some trilogies, and course of events makes you flip page after page. Gross shows fantastic control over the flow of the book, finishing chapters with cliff-hangers, then moving to other characters and plots, just to return to that particular cliff-hanger after a chapter or two. You simply can't find a dull page in this novel. Author's style is detailed and rich, subtly reminding you that you are in the Forgotten Realms page after page. The novel is also bursting with veiled and unveiled witticisms. In terms of character development, Tamlin gets fleshed out to become one of the most complex characters in the world of FR. All of the other protagonists from earlier books of the series play a prominent role in this closing novel. Villains are equally interesting, with one recurring villain from "The Black Wolf" given a new dimension. Fantastic. Plot-wise, Gross somehow succeeds in weaving intrigue, mystery, magic, love, ambition and treachery flawlessly together.
Now comes the part where I write about the things I didn't like about a novel. In the case of this particular one, I have only one complaint. It was only 300 pages long. A pity. I could've effortlessly read a 1000 more.
To put it short, a magnificent novel to end great series (Five good, one mediocre and only one weak book). Better than Black Wolf (Forgotten Realms Sembia series, Book 4), believe it or not. One of the best books ever to come out of WotC publishing. Make absolutely sure that you don't miss this one.
