I liked this book quite a bit more than The Crystal Shard. It had a lot more character depth and some really thrilling moments. Overall, these books don’t seem to be trying to do anything incredible. They are just light and fun reads, and I’m enjoying them.

Not bad, but I liked it less than books in the trilogy, the author's style seemed less polished there. (Probably understandable, since the second trilogy was written first, but still.)

Despite being somewhat derivative of Tolkien in many ways, this is simply an outstanding adventure fantasy novel. I became much more invested in the characters compared with the first novel and cannot wait to read the conclusion to the series.

This book was far better than it's immediate predescessor, "The Crystal Shard." We also were introduced to a fascinating new character, Artemis Entreri. He is essentially equal in skill to Drizzt but is as evil as Drizzt is good. I look forward to reading the final book in this trilogy.

This was another entertaining installment in the Drizzt series. This time, our hero and his companions are looking for lost dwarven homeland of Mithral Hall. However, an assassin is behind their trail, and wizard has an interest in Drizzt. This does draw on the previous novel, but readers can read it without having read the previous one. Overall, a nice, quick read that I enjoyed.
