A review by romankurys
Exile by R.A. Salvatore
5.0
Simply put: great!
For the fans of Drizzt I need not say much more. This is technically Book 5 about him, a midpoint for the 2nd trilogy, and it R. Salvatore manages to deliver a punch every single time.
I don't know much about Forgotten Realms, as I have not really played D&D but even though it is extremely fun to immerse into this grim world of conflict and magic.
Salvatore does a good job, I thought, in describing what the underground world looks like and how it's populated by many races who are anything by friendly with one another. It is very refreshing to see a different kind of world, something that isn't your typical sword/Sorcery scenery.
On the other hand he also does a great job with portraying ruthless culture of dark elves, inhabitants of Menzoberranzan. Drizzt is but one lone dark elf, who wants something different then scheming to gain Llolth favor. He even makes friends with someone from another race.
That in itself is unheard of...and that is only the beginning.
Definitely will read the next part! You should too!
