Great start to what seems like a great series; love how the author mixes different legends and cultures to make a well-thought out novel that combines various elements into one cohesive plotline. Well worth reading; five stars and recommended to all fantasy lovers out there.

what a way to end the series.

Yet another good one from a fantastic author. So many characters, though, one can't decide whether good, evil, or something in between. Read and find out. Though part of the middle plotline does leave some stuff to be desired; some of the particulars are never in fact explained quite as well as they ought to have been.

This entire series is one of fantastic authorship; this book is no different. It's one of those where the series could end if the reader chose for it to, but the very end hints at something even better coming up in the next installment.

Being the second in a rather interesting series, for the first time, it's hard to tell where the beginning of one part of the plot ends, and another begins or are they all woven into a singular plotline with multiple strands?

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.

As is typical seemingly for salvatore, this is another book that seems to herald both the beginning and end of an era. Though by the end of it, leaves the reader wondering which way things will go; particularly, which side is King Obould on?

It seems that the author loves cliffhangers yet again. And the even bigger question. Where the heck did Obould go? drizzt didn't kill him ... we know that much, at least. And Breunor ... I suppose we won't find out until the next book.
