- The Legacy of the Drow | Book 1

I wanted to like this, I wanted to ignore all the campy and dull moments of the book in order to enjoy a simple and easy to read fantasy tale. But the author just kept hammering on the worst points of the novel.

The story already had a bad start with Catti-brie annoying self, saying “You can't kill the goblins, you have to talk to them first”.

Then Wulfgar tried to kill Drizzt for NO REASON. Later is revealed that he was jealous of him for kissing Catti-brie on the cheek in a sign of friendship (Drizzt knows her since she was a child). That made me stop reading the book, it was too much for me. This is a forced nonsensical love triangle that was badly presented and event if it was well written, it should have no place on this story.

I liked the insertion of the Drows again, Drizzt's sister an brother introduced in the previous books. There is a plot involving they regaining Loth's favor by promising to try and kill Drizzt once again.

This 4-part series continues from the Icewind Dale trilogy, and it deals with the repercussions from the enemies Drizzt has left behind in Menzoberranzan. It starts off in a light-hearted manner, the aftermath of a bloody period in their adventures, and culminates in the loss of a main character. Salvatore delivers on Drizzt again, whether due to his own passion or due to the demands of profitability is not irrelevant. The action and swordplay is good, the plot is well-written and touching. It does not seem as good as the earlier 2 trilogies but that's probably because the idea is no longer as fresh.
