Very political but never boring!One dark elf. Two enchanted blades. One unknown enemy. And a horde of invaders. "I am not afraid to die because I know that I am part of a something, a concept, a belief, that is bigger than all that is me, body and soul."R.A. Salvatore's Drizzt series is a staple of the fantasy genre. You almost can't talk about fantasy books and not relate back to Drizzt somehow. It is a fantastic series, and this one is one of the best books in it thus far. As usual, the character development is full of depth
Well, three stars this time ... I understand that it sets up a new arch in the tale, so it was more of a preparation book, but it was not achieved as well as previous times. As a D&D player I also understand that using healing potions in a book would have been an unfair advantage for such powerful heroes and it would diminish any suspense and danger (thus almost eliminating any heroic aspect of the books), but come on man ... they should have at least one! I do not know of anyone that even
I found this book in a store that sells cheap books. It's my first time reading a Salvatore book and I really enjoyed it.It's short, light and funny but also full of action. It was a great way to be introduced to the world of Drizzt and his friends, even if it did make reference to past events.
While most Drizzt books remain enjoyable, there are a few aspects which keep bothering me:1) Stakes. Good guys simply do not die in this series, and it is exceedingly rare for new blood to enter the circle of protagonists. This means that, from a character perspective, one is stuck reading the same book over and over again.2) Villains. Most of the series' antagonists are blatantly uninteresting, and simply there as obstacles for the same old protagonists to overcome again and again, with the
Honestly, I was shocked how much I enjoyed this book. I was a huge fan of R. A. Salvatore in high school, but when I tried to go back and reread the Icewind Dale trilogy recently I couldn't stand the writing, the characters were shallow, Drizzt was overbearing and endlessly too insightful and too introspective. I think a major strength of this story is that Drizzt is not the main focus, instead, many of the more interesting side characters take the fore front, such as the Bouldershoulder
On to the next book!
