An arc from Netgalley:
This was such an awesome surprise. It takes a bit to get into the world, as I hadn't read any other book in the series (will definitely do it now) but this was a great starting off point for newbies.
R.A. Salvatore has still got it, which is really impressive. I've only read his very early Drizzt books but this novel managed to maintain the same level of fun adventure and intriguing plot found in those early DnD novels. The added benefit of this novel is that it is partnered with a more modern worldview (POC are written quite well here, where those early Drizzt novels have a few iffy elements) and a world of Salvatore's own creation.
This seafaring novel of high adventure is rooted in the same principles Salvatore has been writing about since the very beginning, a tale of acceptance, and found family.
The inclusion of a disabled lead and some really fun spins on dwarves (they're pirates now) make this an absolute delight.
