   This journey was truly heartbreaking. It was painful to see Drizzt being rejected everywhere due to prejudices about his race. When he once again started packing his things towards the end, it really broke my heart and made me sob. The book was emotional and I was glad to see the part of the lore where he becomes a true ranger. I also enjoyed the time he spent with Mooshie and their conversation about faith. Out of the three books, I think I loved this one the most.

   «You know Mielikki’s rules as well as I. You have been following them all of your life. I offer you a name for it, that is all, and an ideal of behavior personified, an example that you might follow in times that you stray from what you know is true.»

   However, I feel like I need a break from the author's writing, even though I still plan to eventually finish Drizzt's life story. After some time, it's become apparent that something is lacking and at times it feels like reading plain facts without any artistry. I do love Drizzt, and I will return to the next series eventually, but for now, I need to satisfy myself with a different writing style.
