This, I have to confess, is one of the most adventure-filled books in this series. Tops off another chapter in the life of the brilliant Drizzt. Like many others, though, can't tell whether this is the end or not for some of the characters; the end sort of leaves the reader wondering, but then again, if you read between the lines, there are clues; people you think are gone forever must simply be in a different place, or at least one that isn't reachable by the human race, or at least not by anyone we know.
