Esta es la segunda entrega de la tetralogía de la saga El Legado, escrita por R. A. Salvatore y protagonizada por Drizzt Do’Urden. En esta aventura, el protagonista, afectado por la muerte del bárbaro Wulfgar, decide regresar a Menzoberranzan para impedir que sus compatriotas ataquen a sus compañeros, desarrollándose la mayor parte de la trama en esta ciudad subterránea, acompañado de Artemis Entreri y de Cattie‑Brie.
La narración es entretenida, pero sigue sin aportar nada novedoso. Se desperdicia una oportunidad única para profundizar en la sociedad drow y sus escenarios, optando por una línea argumental que nos sumerge en la nostalgia de novelas anteriores. Por ejemplo, el paso de Drizzt por Blingdenstone y el reencuentro con Belwar son guiños icónicos de la primera saga.
El segundo problema de esta novela es el villano. Artemis Entreri funciona aquí como aliado de Drizzt, y Jarlaxle se perfila como un personaje muy interesante —un pirata mercenario que actúa como agente del caos—. Sin embargo, el peso de antagonista principal recae en la matrona Baenre y sus descendientes, quienes resultan algo planos; habría venido bien más profundidad y contexto sobre la familia para empatizar con su historia.
En esta entrega se profundiza en la relación entre Drizzt y Cattie‑Brie. Se intuye un posible romance, lo cual ofrece la oportunidad de ver al autor narrar escenas románticas —un aspecto que no había destacado en las anteriores novelas, como las de Wulfgar y Cattie‑Brie. Este último personaje protagoniza escenas al final del libro, derribando estructuras y puentes de estalagmitas a base de flechazos, un recurso que incluso para un libro de fantasía resulta inverosímil.
En general, la aventura no desentona con las entregas anteriores, pero resulta prescindible si no eres un fan acérrimo de la saga. Me sigo quedando con la primera tetralogía, donde se narra la infancia de Drizzt, como la mejor.

This story is one of friendship, and what friends to for one another, even when it is uncomfortable and inconvenient.
The main characters in this story were:
Drizzt
Catti-brie
Regis
Bruenor
Entreri
This story felt more contained than previous, but there were a LOT of tender moments, too.
Going to the Under Dark / Menzoberranzan was a choice that two made...on purpose, for there really wasn't any other GOOD choice.
The ones that stayed behind, did it for the most part...reluctantly.
I look forward to the next adventure, which will be in Siege of Darkness.

These continue to be fun, but boy, will I be glad to hopefully focus less on the underdark and more on other adventures going forward.
