The ending is bittersweet with the hard choices Drizzt must make. Drizzt is a compelling character who develops a lot in the course of the book. There are some scenes that very conservative readers would be uncomfortable with, and I would not recommend this to children, but I found the emotional development and complicated moral dilemmas believable with emotionally satisfying outcomes. Eventually, Drizzt must decide whether to follow his morals or the rules of his world. Drizzt grows up in an abusive family typical of his society but finds comfort in his training and friendship with the weapon’s master. The society of the Drow in which he is born is structured like that of the spiders, in which the females rule the smaller males. This book starts with the birth of Drizzt during a major battle that his family is initiating. I was really hesitant at the beginning of this book because it seemed pretty dark, but the virtue of the hero is shown as a great contrast to the world he has been born into. The first book in the trilogy is Homeland. I decided I would read Drizzt’s story in chronological order instead of publishing order and I recommend that for those jumping into the series.

That was the Icewind Dale Trilogy which happens after The Dark Elf Trilogy in chronology. The Dark Elf Trilogy are the stories that begin Drizzt’s life, but these are not the first books Salvatore wrote about Drizzt. These are easy to read, fun books that keep you interested from beginning to end. This is the way I like a series to be, instead of being one book chopped into three parts the way most fantasy trilogies are being done now.

Each book, including each book in this trilogy, are self-contained adventures.
