As always, Salvatore's characters grow and evolve, and I notice especially now how they are increasingly facing situations where there is no easily defined right or wrong. I love the fact that Drizzt is no longer portrayed as the unstoppable epitome of fighting perfection. He gets himself into many situations that make him ironically seem more...human and falliable.

Old friends, allies and enemies make spectacular reappearances, some very different from previous experiences.

A MUST READ for any gamer, long-time fan or newly risen acolyte!

I will throw in this little spoiler. At least one of Drizzt's friends/allies dies! ]]>
