Publisher's summary

With the last of his trusted companions having fallen, Drizzt is alone - and free - for the first time in almost a hundred years. Guilt mingles with relief, leaving Drizzt uniquely vulnerable to the persuasions of his newest companion: Dahlia, a darkly alluring elf and the only other member of their party to survive the cataclysm at Mount Hotenow.

But traveling with Dahlia is challenging in more ways than one. As the two companions seek revenge on the one responsible for leveling Neverwinter - and nearly Luskan as well - Drizzt finds his usual moral certainty swept away by her unconventional views. Forced to see the dark deeds that the common man may be driven to by circumstance, Drizzt begins to find himself on the wrong side of the law in an effort to protect those the law has failed. Making new enemies, as his old enemies acquire deadly allies, Drizzt and Dahlia quickly find themselves embroiled in battle - a state he's coming to enjoy a little too much.

Loved It!

Even better then the first book in this series. Drizzt and Dalia really come to work with each other and a 'blast from the past' joins them! what a surprise for me when we found out who Barabbas is.
There is never a boring moment in Drizzt's life, and this book is no exception. The action was, as always, fantastic! But, more importantly, with the loss of his friends, Drizzt is really thinking about the why of his life. I think Mr. Salvatore is setting the stage for an even more epic Drizzt adventure when this series is finished.
Can't wait to listen to the third book and find out the fate of Barabbas!

Not your grandpa's Drizzt

Wow, beginning with Guntelgrym you get the impression RA Salvatore suddenly decided that perhaps the forgotten realms should be opened to more than a few teenage geeks. No offence, but the sanitary nature of his earlier books, although all well written, left most of us adult wandering what sort of passionless world these characters inhabited.

The lack of adult situations and interactions left it feeling entirely to ...antiseptic. Forcefully antiseptic. Now, with these last series of books, it seems as though RAS has discovered that there is room for an adult audience for these books. Drizzt is not just a one directional, unsurprising and rather unchallenging character, but a multi faceted gem being cut into dazzling brilliance by each physical, emotional and even (and I hate this word personally) spiritual conflict. With each of these cuts you see a deeper more mature side of teh already prolifically introspective fighter. In these last series of books You are seeing real growth through conflict in these complex and deeply interwoven interludes of Drizzt , all soo well written and narrated within each of these books, but the growth within seems to truly begin with Guntelgrym.

With the introduction of Dahlia and the death of the companions, you start to see Drizzt truly maturing. With Dahlia as part of the inspiration for most of his ongoing development perhaps a bit later in life than would have been reasonable for some one of such philosophical ruminations as we have come to read in these books. Perhaps its his heritage as one of these eternally aging beings that they are cursed with an equally aged maturity curve. How else can one explain taking 100 years after 20 to come to the realization that black and white is not always so. Maybe it is just Dahlia. Whichever it is, its a great change from fighting without growth.

I applaud RAS for taking the risk of alienating some of the family-friendly-or die purist by writing more realistic stories that are not overly adult (no 50 shades of Durden here - sorry to disappoint) that maintained some of the fantasy and magic that keeps us hungry for more. The return of "Barabas the gray" and its link to the prior stories is also a great plot twist that I thoroughly enjoyed. Enemies become friends and friends become enemies, just great stuff.

If you haven’t read The previous books in the series, please do, and then compare to the series beginning with Guntylgrym and you will see a marked difference. In those later stories, especially in this one our dear Drizzt is doing that which we all want from our most cherished friends or even family. He is growing up.


**On a side note, I wander if fight club’s Tyler Durden is related to Drizzt Durden :)

good book

Love the drittz series. I don't like how 'dark' it keeps getting. I was a huge fan of the earlier books, with all the companions. Now, it's just not the same. i wish he would go back to the companions

Amazing!

One of the best of any of the Drizzt series. Well written and performed, storyline and surprises make this one of the best. Worth the read/listen.

A big surprise

Salvatore brought one of my favorite characters back. And I hope he will be in future audiobooks. This was fantastic. Well voiced. A fast paced novel with a lot of battles.

A Change in Formula

This is one of the first novels where most of the cast has been changed and directions and motivations of characters are fairly different. It’s much darker than everything that took place before the Transitions arc and I have to say it’s NOT for the better.

Drizzt is still Drizzt, for the most part, only he seems to have actively lost some wisdom over the years instead of gaining it. It’s an interesting enough read but some of the characters and situations make things annoying, to say the least. Dahlia most of all. I loathe her and truly wish Salvatore would kill her off. The favorite anti-hero of many, Artemis Entreri, is also back but in a pitiful state.

I honestly think Salvatore has gone through moments where he comes to hate his own creations and then he proceeds to torment them in his stories. That’s kind of the gist of this book for Drizzt and especially for Entreri.
