This is the finial book in the initial trilogy of the iconic character Drizzt Do'Urden. I actually finished this one up a few nights ago, but I've been thinking about how I want to record my thoughts without spoiling the plot. And that's a hard thing to do.
All the books are connected since they are the epic tale of one character. Drizzt is a dark elf on a journey of finding out who he is and where he belongs. It takes him all three books to do this, and I doubt he's done. At the end of the first book, he's left his corner of the Underdark. At the end of the second book, he's decided to travel out of the Underdark and brave the outside world. He spends this third book trying to prove to surface dwellers that he isn't a threat, something he is rarely able to do.
In all these book, Drizzt experiences loss and loneliness that hits home with me. I wrote down a few passages from each book that I thought were especially thought provoking, and I still think about them occasionally.
I'll stand by my initial impression that you should read these in order. If you're a fan of Dungeons and Dragons, I don't see why you wouldn't be interested in these. They're well written, engaging, and I can't wait to dive into the next set of them. BUT! I am going to try and pace myself. I'm going to try and see if I can find something outside my comfort zone for my next read, then I might go back to Drizzt. Good Book!
