The Companions of the Hall finally are reunited (towards the end of the book) to get back Wulfgar's hammer (yup - that's the premise of the book).

It was great getting everyone back together again and I thought the climax of the book would be this epic battle against the pirates who had Wulfgar's hammer - this is Salvatore after all and if he does one thing better than anyone else it's the battle scene. But it let me down and felt rushed.

Good read but not great.
