![]() ![]() I was not expecting to disappear into this book. Seldom have I read fantasy where a character acted in such a truly compassionate manner. ![]() ![]() You definitely need to read Homeland first and when you get to Exile you will reap the reward of watching Drizzt DoUrden come to life, as well as develop into a character of principle and compassion. It was pulp fantasy fiction, entertaining but offered little else to urge me to move forward in the series.įortunately I did move forward and found the story really opened up in the second book. Everyone was so evil and there was all this talk of Lolth the Spider Queen and the women (Dark Elf society is matriarchal and these are some nasty evil murdering women) were little more than one-note nasties. I liked Homeland but I found the names and political intrigues in the Underdark city of Menzoberrazan to be exhausting. Having read Homeland, the first in the series about a year ago and enjoyed it but not considered reading any further, I didnt approach Exile thinking that it would be too compelling. ![]()
