Once I got into this one, I could not put it down. The tale Drizzt continues as the Drow now goes on a self-imposed exile. However, this is like other tales of the loner that others can't seem to leave alone. His House chooses to hunt him down, and they get the "perfect" hunter for the job. It has been ten years since the events in the previous volume, and Drizzt is struggling with loneliness, accompanied only by his panther friend. However, he manages to find new friends. Overall, this was a good, entertaining story with a pretty fast pace. I have already picked up the next volume in the series. ( )

This is a great book. It may be to the dislike of some people. But Salvatore is able to create a good image and his diction is great. He is able to create a way for the reader to relate to the character, and still express a healthy amout of interest. Yes, he does go a little over on the descriptions of the fights, where as most people wouldn't be able to understand what was going on. The storyline though in general is increadable an I would recomend this book to others. ( )
