Homeland by RA Salvatore (The Dark Elf Trilogy: Book 1)

10/10

Strange and exotic Menzoberranzan is the vast city of the Drow. This is a world of dark elves, where families battle families and fantastic monsters rise up from the lightless depths.

Drow ranger Drizzt Do’Urden, first introduced in The Icewind Dale Trilogy, quickly became one of the fantasy genre’s standout characters. But Homeland first reveals the startling tale of how this one lone drow walked out of the shadowy depths of the Underdark, leaving behind a society of evil and a family who want him dead. It is here that the story of this amazing dark elf truly began.

I found Homeland to be a very compelling book. From the beginning with the first battle, right up to the end with Drizzt leaving Menzoberanzan. With the plot weaving throughout the book, I plan on reading the rest of the books and hope to find them as enjoying as this one.

I thought it was a very entertaining and thrilling book. The people who think that all the other charaters are shallow and they're "just evil" did not latch on to the concept of the Drow society. They are a dark and evil race nurtured through war and their dark god Lady Lolth, who truly enjoys the pain and suffering that the drow love to provide to gain the favor of lady lolth. And the first book may seem confusing and boring in the beginning that is also because Drizzt has not even been born yet. Once he is born and the book gets momentum it doesent stop and keeps you going all the way through the trilogy and gets you intruiged in the story that is Drizzt Do'Urden.

Take it for what it is and this is a great series with lots of action and an interesting and dark world to explore, great entertainment overall for youths and adults. Those who least like the series seem to be expecting great literature, and this it is not, and this is fine because sometimes light entertainment fits the mood better anyway.

Highly praise this series. R.A Salvatore's dark elf character, 'Drizzit do'Urden' is the best in the last 20 years. It's the friendships made, the battles fought, and the epic journeys they undertake. The great storytelling transports you to another world and into the midst of all the action.

This is the best fantasy character ever. Drizzt is the man. The drow way of life is epic.
