After playing the video games based on the forgotten realms I felt that in order to advance more in the game that I would have to have a better and wider knowledge of the characters. So I decided to read the 'The Dark Elf Triology.' After the first page I became addicted the to the book and couldn't put it down. The shere extent of Salvatores description of settings and characters allow you to build life like profiles of the characters, which easily caught my imagination. Another thing that I liked about the book was the rapid tension that Salvatore so easily and regularly uses, which also makes the book even more addictive and exciting. After reading the book I decided to give the computers games a rest and instead buy the book one of the 'Icewind dale Triology,' - 'The Crystal Shard' which so far is equally as good.

Format:Paperback
This is a great trilogy, leading on from the Icewind Dale trilogy R.A.Salvatore introduces us to Drizzt Do'Urdens dark past and the vast caverns of the underdark. From the evil Dark-elf city of Menzoberranzan to the surface of Toril, this trilogy leads you on a great adventure. Book One : Homeland is perhaps one of Salvatore's best work, introducing us to the double dealing, back-stabbing ways of the Drow; he carves a civilisation and then shows it to us through the eyes of one untainted by the evil of Menzoberranzan. Exile follows Drizzt as he forsakes his people, again another fantastic book; lightly touching on the philosophical elements of what it means to be a reasoning creature and the power of the soul. Sojourn the final book follows Drizzt out onto the surface as he struggles to find acceptance amongst a people who fear his heritage. The trilogy gives us great characters and great places and most of all it shows why Drizzt is how he is in the Icewind Dale trilogy and why he hates Artemis Entreri with such passion!

I still feel that after years of writing, nothing R A Salvatore has written can match the passion and character development on show here. Whilst the books in the Paths of Darkness section of Drizzt's life perhaps win on the excitement level, seeing the early days of Drizzt's life is an enlightening and exciting experience. It is very well written, and consolidated Drizzt's position as the star of the Forgotten Realms.
In the days when widespread success of The Lord Of The Rings, Harry Potter and His Dark Materials have made the fantasy genre popular, Salvatore and The Forgotten Realms are still over-looked. This is probably rightly so, as they are not particularly original in terms of the races or ideas on show, but this does not stop them being thoroughly engrossing and enjoyable reads. Especially when presented by the gem in the Forgotten Realms' crown, and when focussed so solely on such a character.

Exclient. It gets the imagination going and is thrilling.
Sojorun is a great story and it is hard to put down. I read it in 3 days. I am a freshman and I don't have lots of spare time but I made some for this book and author.
