Homeland

This novel is easily one of the most creative and best work Salvatore has produced. Set in the Forgotten Realms, Salvatore masterfully fleshes out in very fine detail, a glimpse into the civilization of one of the most enigmatic evil races on Faerun. By doing so, he also gives us new insights into the enigma that is Drizzt Do'Urden, the dark elf ranger and Salvatore's signature character. The first book shows us Drizzt's struggles from birth against the expected norms of drow society.
