Summary: Great Book!
Comment: I read this book first, so I didn't have a lot of background, but I figured out the plot from the book pretty much- and without having to wade through laborious retellings the author put in to make sure a reader could pick up from anywhere in the story. A good thing! Also, even though the storyline is quite impractical- yes, almost never does such a radically moral hero show up when raised in such an evil environment- hey, guys, lighten up a little. It's a FANTASY novel. Also, I said, 'almost never,' which is is to say that there's a very slight chance. Besides, it makes for a great story, as the reader follows Drizzt through his search for acceptance from the rather prejudiced surface world. I thought it nice that the author realized the kind of difficulties Drizzt would face in such a different world, from the changing seasons to firemaking. That kind of attention to detail is what makes a good book even better. This is really a great book, and Drizzt makes himself a real hero by the hope he never lets die that somewhere someone will realize that he's different from his evil kin. I found myself wishing him the best of luck.

Summary: Salvatore is a God among authors
Comment: I came across my first "Salvatore" novel, actually, by mistake when I was sixteen years old. It was Streams of Silver. I didn't know that it was the 2nd book in a trilogy until half-way through the book. I decided I wouldn't read it until I had read the first of the trilogy, which was The Crystal Shard. After that, I discovered there were 3 books that preceeded the IceWind Dale Trilogy. Reading those I became familiar with the character Drizzt Do'Urden, who quickly became my hero! His style of writing pulls you into the book as if you have become a part of the story, while looking on and observing. Salvatore gave me words that became mental images and played like a movie in my mind. His words scroll by and allow you to be in-sync with the characters. I wrote Mr. Salvatore to thank him for sharing his imagination with his readers, and was amazed to receive a letter from him telling me about his next book, which was Starless Night. I think he is a genius and as long as he keeps writing, no matter what subject, I'll keep reading them!

Summary: An end....... and a new beginning
Comment: Drizzt has now made one of the most critical decisions of his life, to leave his entire world behind and seek out a new life upon the surface. Here he must deal with the fear, hatred, and prejudice invoked by his heritage, as well as continue to face his own personal demons. Violence and killing especially haunt him, and he must come to terms with their necessity in his life. Underneath the sun he must learn to accept himself before he can possibly be accepted by others, and through his learning and struggles he makes new friends, heals old wounds, and undertakes the training to become a Ranger.
Salvatore does a great job showing the hardships Drizzt faces in leaving the Underdark behind. The narrative is fast moving, and does a nice job tying in Drizzt's history with his eventual settlement in the remote region of Icewind Dale, the setting of the next phase of his life. Salvatore has made Drizzt a very complete and complex character, beloved by his fans, and a true fantasy hero.
