Series: The Legend of Drizzt | Publication Date: February 5, 2008

Celebrate Twenty Years of Drizzt!

Drizzt Do'Urden made his first mistake the moment he was born: he was a boy. In the rigid matriarchy of the dark elf city of Menzoberranzan, that makes his life forfeit. But when his own mother tries but fails to kill him, Drizzt's path is set. He must find a way to escape the treacherous Underdark, even if that means setting out alone into the no less dangerous World Above.

Contains the novels Homeland, Exile, and Sojourn.

I picked up the paperback of the first book in this series to have something to read on a long airplane ride, and from the first few minutes I was hooked! I found out about this collector's edition when I returned from my trip, and picked it up immediately, along with the second book in the series. This story of Drizzt and his struggles as a dark elf will captivate all types of readers, and will have you staying up late at night to find out what happens next.

As for the book itself: it is a beautiful edition, with a very high quality and visually beautiful dust jacket, and nice pages inside, with a very sharp and easy font to read. Highly recommended to fantasy and non-fantasy readers alike.

I just hope they release the rest of the books in the Legend of Drizzt series in this collector's Edition format.

This collector's edition of Drizzt is simply amazing.

This edition includes first three books of The Legends of Drizzt.

(For those who would like to know, Icewind Dale was released first. However, chronologically, Dark Elf trilogy is first.)

I simply enjoyed reading this trilogy... although my friends say that this Drizzt series is "immature" level among other fantasy series's. Well, I don't know. I liked it =p

The cover of the collector's editions are great. I have them covered with book jacket covers and they look like brand new all the time! Shiny!

The print in the book is good too. Very neat and easy to read. Paper quality seems/feels/looks great. Not that I know much about it, but oh well!

By the way... one thing that's missing. Maps. There is a map of the first book of the trilogy and that's it. Nothing for the second and third. Same for the rest of the trilogy in this edition.

BEWARE!! NO MAPS.

This review is from: The Legend of Drizzt Collector's Edition, Book I (Book 1) (Hardcover)

I have never played a game of D&D in my life, and although that's certainly not a prerequisite for reading a Forgotten Realms novel, the idea of plumbing the depths of such an expansive literary universe has been daunting. The Legend of Drizzt, however, has proven to be an exciting and compelling introduction to this popular world of fantasy!

This edition is simply the best way to experience the adventures of Drizzt Do'Urden. The jacket design is terrific, and even got my girlfriend interested in the story contained within.

That story, of course, is what owning this volume is all about, and it's filled with memorable characters, evil intrigue, and some of the best action writing you'll ever come across. Drizzt is, and always will be, a true legend of fantasy literature.
