This one I really enjoyed. Artemis Entreri's appearance delighted me - I'm fairly certain I'm going to love this character. By the end I already do but I'll see where it goes in the next one. The journey parts of the book are fairly standard for a Drizzt book. The ending felt a little rushed and I was even hoping it would end before it did and more detail would be spent with the scourge of the halls. Still, I am excited to see where the next book goes! (

I didn't enjoy this one as much as I enjoyed the first in the series, but I did like it in the end. The big set piece toward the end was pretty solid, and I liked spending more time with Drizzt, Bruenor, and Wulfgar in particular. (

It's a good book. I just think I'm done with fantasy novels for now. Good thing I have a lot of them. (

Bruennor the dwarf, along with some others, set out to find his ancestral home that he was driven from over 2 centuries ago. Mix in an assassin going after the halfling, a wizard going after Drizz't because he thinks Drizz't has the Crystal Shard and a dragon trying to kill them all, and you get a good rollicking adventure story.

Solid 5 for action and pacing + better character development however -2 for over heroic stamina overcoming way too many insurmountable obstacles. (

And Regis runs from a deadly assassin, who, allied with evil wizards, is bent on the companions' destruction. all fo Bruenor's dreams, and the survival of his party, hinge upon the actions of one brave young woman.
