Ok I just finished reading Faces of Deception.
The ending leaves too many questions hanging in the air.

Ok, so Atreus didn't get to wave goodbye to Seema and also what's gonna happen between him and Rishi now??? Do these characters appear in another novel or are mentioned elsewhere? Give me your thoughts/opinions as well, and if they appear elsewhere, the source. |

I thought the book was a decent book, I just didn't like the ending either. |

This book was only one of two (out of 79) FR novels that I actually HATED. The other was Council of the Blades, (although the 2nd half wasn't bad...). The ending sucked and actually made me angry that I wasted 3 days worth of reading to finish this book. I'm a Troy Denning fan, but I could not have been anymore disappointed. This is one of those books that I can't imagine an editor for WotC saying, "Sure. Let's publish this."

I'd love to take credit for the horrible land of the cowgod known as the Udder East, but someone else came up with that name and I don't remember who. So, whoever did, the credit merely belongs to them.   |

That is horrible! I salute you!  |

As for other sources, maps (albeit with nothing more than country names) can be found in the Forgotten Realms Interactive Atlas and Ulgarth, technically part of the Utter East, has a page blurb in the Shining South 3.5 Edition sourcebook. Other than that, not a whole lot, unless you want to consider the non-canon Double Diamond sagas, which I haven't heard much good about. |

It's in the Utter East. Just off the map to the east (well, duh) of Var the Golden. I believe the only sourcebook that contain more than a paragraph about the area is the old Shining South. |

Yeah! Where the hell is all of it taking place in the east? Where is this place (other than Duhlnarim and Erlkazar, which I have dedicated a NWN server to) :P |

I hate knocking on a writer's books but Faces of Deception left me feeling... icky inside. The ending obviously left me thinking that this was an incomplete book but overall, I didn't like the fact that we were introduced to a whole new region of the Realms, (the Utter East), but 95% of the book takes place on a glacier that could be anywhere. Ah well, bad books happen.  |

I'd be happy with just five more pages telling us what happened. Even if they all die horrible deaths, it would be better than the ending as it is.
Aye, same here, I wonder when will the sequel be coming. |

Yeah it was a great book up until that end. |

It was a great cliffhanger. Unfortunately I doubt we'll ever see a sequel. |

That was another book I didn't like... The ending made it feel like the entire thing had been a waste of time. |

I feel your pain, I loved that book right up until it ended. What a disappointment! It's almost as if it was the first part of a series that got cancelled. There is no continuation of the story as far as I know. |
