Daughter of the Drow by Elaine Cunningham

4.0

Yeah, ok, so I'm getting re-addicted to Forgotten Realms novels. And what a superb way to fall off of the wagon!

DROW ELVES!

Anybody who's ever dipped their toe into Forgotten Realms books knows about the drow: the malevolent, chaotic, manipulative mirror-images of the elves of the surface word. They're a long-time favorite topic of mine, as far as fantasy reading goes. And this tale does not, in any single way, disappoint.

From the Underdark to surface forest meadows, from a living hut with chicken's legs to a two-headed mutant dragon, from all-out bloody warfare to subtle intrigue and plotted machinations, this book has me hooked.
