Starless Night (Forgotten Realms: Legacy of the Drow, #2; Legend of Drizzt, #8)
by R.A. Salvatore
by R.A. Salvatore
I read the first 13 Drizzt books back-to-back, so I sometimes forget what happened in which specific book but I certainly enjoyed the ride. The rating above reflects only the content.
This book stood out for a different reason...The cover is so absolutely atrocious it irked me every time I looked at it. The whole "Legacy" series in this printing is bad, but this one takes the cake. If you aren't familiar with the story, Drizzt is a young drow warrior. In this depiction he looks like an ancient, caucasian human wizard. And is he leering?? Maybe because Cattie-brie looks 12 on this cover instead of 20. And the headband she's wearing? Should be silver. I realize writers often don't get much say in their cover art, but someone should have caught this, especially since both are main characters in the already-established series.
So if you want to read this book - find the later printing with better cover art.
