2.5/5 stars
Its not that this book was bad so much as I definitely didn't enjoy it as much as the first six Drizzt books. I think the main thing was that it felt more like just a set up for the plot of the next three books. A lot of the book was constant battles without much else but this time around Salvatore just got really repetitive with how he described them so it blurred together quite a bit. Still some aspects of it that I liked but got a bit dull at times and don't keep my interest as much. I remember being super sad at the end of this book when I first read it though, and maybe the fact I knew a certain major event was coming also influenced how I feel about it now.

Still very charmed by Drizzt et al, and this is no exception, but this is a VERY combat heavy book and that's generally not my favorite point. If the Drizzt v Entreri dynamic is your thing, though, this is a great book for that.

Wulfgar is more frustrating and less likeable than Artemis Entreri for a majority. It seemed like he had regressed in character development, suddenly offended that Catti-brie would fight with them.
Very anticlimactic after reading Song of Ice and Fire. Cute, though.
