This is the fourth and final book of this particular series. Drizzt and Catti-Brie are sailing the seas, but their travels will lead be cut short and lead them to a reunion with Bruenor and Regis.
Errtu has a captive he's certain will release him from his banishment from the material plane and allow him to exact his revenge on Drizzt. A riddle makes the drow believe the balor is holding his father, Zaknafein, captive. To free the prisoner, Drizzt and his friends will have to return to Icewind Dale, a place that many of them consider home. It's also a place where the crystal shard was buried. But Crenshinibon has freed itself and is working on a new plan to work evil in the realms.
I liked this one, but the end was bittersweet for me. Drizzt's ups and downs create the same for me. I was worried we'd lost the great panther, but I really liked the way she returned at the end. The further I get into the world of Drizzt, the more I appreciate being able to read them in order and close enough together to remember (enough) what's happened before. I'm so grateful I was able to get almost all of them through a Humble Bundle. Next up is the Paths of Darkness series, and I'm not sure when I'll get to it, but it won't be super far into the future. Good Book!
