Review: As with any book based on Dungeons and Dragons I love it. Set in the magical and mythical fantasy world of Faerun (or the forgotten realms, what have you) it is the first book by R. A. Salvatore in the series of books about Drizzt Duorden' and his friends and their adventures to keep the world from peril. This book has everything one could love about fantasy..it's packed with action, magic, awesome fights and believable characters. Definately a book I reccomend for those who love fantasy.
