I enjoyed this book. I wish it had been a little bit longer and talked about the different ideas it had more, but overall it was nice and hopefully this will help kickstart me back into reading regularly

This was a good adaptation of the first two books! The art was so cute as well. I'm looking forward to the next volume!

 All I'm saying is I would kill for a spin-off solely focused on Pwent and Bidderdoo and the Gutbuster Brigade

I loved this book. It involved a LOT more fantasy elements than I initially expected, but I love that so it was not a disappointment at all. I loved Effy's development through the book, and her relationship with Preston was fun.

I need Reid to actually write Angharad because I was reading those quotes and some of them actually drove me mental.

Really really enjoyed this one. I appreciated the character progression and insights that we got into Drizzt, Entreri, and Catti-Brie. This might be my favorite Legend of Drizzt book so far.

Loved that we dived back into the underdark once more. Entreri’s obsession with Drizzt is always a treat to read.

 It took me a little bit to get into it, but by the 100 page mark I was committed to finishing today. I've never read this book before, but it gave me nostalgia as it very much reads like a fantasy middle grade book from 2012, and I mean that in a good way. This was a fun book, and I look forward to when I can pick up a copy of the next book.

Had fun though
