Continuing a re-read of some of my favorites so I can move on to newer books in the ongoing Drizzt saga, I had forgotten how much was jam packed into these short pages. Being the first book written with Drizzt (not the first chronologically, but first published) we get a sense of Drizzt’s background and somewhat of his history, but a lot of open questions still remain. Now having read the other books previously, I was clued in on much of his background, but I can remember on the first read many, many years ago, I didn’t get a sense that Drizzt would be such an important character like he is today.
As far as this book goes, plenty of action, lots of setup for future novels and of course Salvatore is the king of battle scenes and action sequences. These are such easy reads that I don’t mind picking these up again every few years to enjoy an old favorite.
