3.0 out of 5 stars Alright, but hard to find..., September 9, 2009

This review is from: Forgotten Realms Starlight & Shadows: Gift Set (Daughter of the Drow, Tangled Webs, Windwalker) (Paperback)

The series in question was one of the first that I read involving the Drow and the Underdark in general. I grew up reading the Ravenloft and Dragonlance collections, when I discovered the realms, it was a breath of fresh air.

Starlight and Shadows does have a few issues, most of which have been covered by people who have posted previous reviews... how Liriel seems to be one of the most powerful drow to ever walk the surface, yet there is little explanation for it, gaining the trust of people left and right (Despite the overwhelming prejudice and hatred the surface races have for the drow), and how inept the villains always come across, despite some of them having much more elaborate and 'evil' plans that come to fruition in other books concerning the Underdark.

My biggest gripe, however, is that the boxed set and even the single books, have been out of print for some time, so they are hard to find in a passable condition. You can expect to pay an arm and a leg to pick them up from most sellers online, which is a shame.

While the series as a whole adds to the mythos concerning the drow, it can be skipped with little impact on anyone's enjoyment of the Realms.

This is simply one of the best trilogies of the Forgotten Realms, and definitely one of the best Realms authors. A must-have, and not only for those interested in the Drow but Realms lore in general.
