5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Fantasy Epic, November 21, 2005

This review is from: Forgotten Realms: the Dark Elf Trilogy: Homeland/Exile/sojourn (Hardcover)

This has got to be one of my all-time favorite books. If you're a big fantasy buff, and have read any other works of R.A. Salvatore, this is a must read. A lot of people really enjoyed the character Drizzt from the Icewind Dale trilogies, and this three part epic compiles everything that ever happened to him before you first met him in the earlier book. The characters beside Drizzt are amazing and dynamic, bringing their own unique touch to the story. This book is suitable for anyone over the age of ten, yet isn't a kid's novel. The world Salvatore creates in The Dark Elf Trilogies is fantastic, and quite immense also. Ranging from the delving caverns of the Underdark to the over world, the setting plays a major role in the story, just like in other fantasy books, except more so in this one. This book is loaded with detail, and the plot will be sure to keep the reader wondering what's going to happen next. Some parts may seem a bit predictable, but they aren't as important as the major events. Overall, this has got to be one of the best fantasy books I have ever read, and I personally enjoy it more than the Lord of the Rings and other epics. I definitely recommend to anyone interested in the fantasy genre to read this book, otherwise you'll be missing out on a great opportunity.

5.0 out of 5 stars AN AMAZING CONCLUSION TO AN AMAZING TRILOGY!!!, June 5, 2004

This review is from: Sojourn: The Dark Elf Trilogy, Part 3 (Forgotten Realms: The Legend of Drizzt, Book III) (Mass Market Paperback)

Definitely a great fantasy epic and one of my personal favorites, The Dark Elf Trilogy-Homeland, Exile, and Sojourn, brings to life the story of a good hearted dark elf ranger named Drizzt Do'Urden and his adventures in the Underdark Drow city of Menzoberranzan in the World of Faerun. The books are so incredibly well written that the reader feels that they have been transported to another universe and are actually present among the characters, seeing what they see, feeling what they feel, sensing what they sense. RA Salvatore has truly outdone himself and has presented us with a masterpiece of literature the likes of which we have seen only in JRR Tolkien's work and in authors Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman's Dragonlance Chronicles and Legends trilogies. Duty, honor, bravery, magic, and swordfights are all about. A great trilogy indeed and a "must read" along with RA Salvatore's The Icewind Dale Trilogy!

This review is from: Forgotten Realms: the Dark Elf Trilogy: Homeland/Exile/sojourn (Hardcover)

I started this series a couple of years back when I picked up Homeland, book one of the series in paperback. At that point I became a Salvatore and Drizzt fan. I've read all the books up to 1000 Orcs and I can tell you this, I can't put one of his books down. They are indeed very good. Meeting the man in person was a special bonus. He is very kind and likes to put names to faces. I talked with him on and off on his message board at rasalvatore.com and when I met him and told him my handle on the board he immediately knew me. I would recommend this book and series to anyone reading fantasy or anyone wanting to start reading fantasy. You'll get hooked. I did.
