Beautiful story

Beautiful story, and beautifully narrated. I highly recommend this book to all who love the universe of D&D and an epic story, I cannot wait to hear the rest!

I loved this book. Totally hooked on the trilogy

I have always wanted to read these books because Drizzt is an iconic character within D&D circles. So much so that i have had people just outright copy him for their character. Before i read the book I found people that did that very annoying and uncreative, and where i still am not a fan of it, now that i have read them i understand why people love him so much as a character. I love him as a character. This book starts you off at the beginning of Drizzt's story, Chapter 1 starts with his birth and continues to show the brutal and wicked life that drow live in Menzoberranzan under the Spider Queens direction. This book's focus in set on making sure that we understand Drow society and why Drizzt is so different from it eventually forcing him to leave. Book two deals with his struggles to survive in the Underdark, and finally book 3 is him on the surface learning about the world and how to be the iconic ranger he is to so many. This version of Drizzt however is the Drow Warrior before all of that.

I do have a couple minor complaints but in the end they are very minor. The narrator has sorta an "eternal whimsey" to his voice that i quickly got used to but also ended up chuckling how some things were read and presented. Also this part was not a problem for me however the book dose move time along quickly. Like in the matter of a few paragraphs years can pass. This makes sense as Drow, like all elves, live a very long time. Without these time skips you'd be bogged down with every little chore. Even though this first book dose jump forward like that often it dose a great job showing you the daily life of a Dark Elf Noble Second-Son in the drow society.

Soul

This was an amazing fantasy story with a lot of soul.
I’m amazed I’ve never ran across these books before as I’m a huge fantasy lover.
Truly worth every penny or credit.

great book

love this book. I haven't watch tv since I picked this up. if you love DND. this is a must pick up.

Great set up story.

I liked it!
I did remember most of jt, which was a surprise myself. However it is a good story for a great character.

Just as good the second time

this is my second time reading this book (my first time reading the audio version) it's just as good the second time around. I find that I can't wait to start Exiled!

excellent

look forward to the next in the series. many to look forward to. thank you

Better than lord of the rings

I read this one before in book form and was blown away so I wanted to revisit it and the whole series

Slow start, great finish

Drizzt’s first book doesn’t introduce the main character until an hour or two in. The setup involves a backstory followed by birth and training of our main character. However, the story does pick up and we’re left wanting more. Dungeons and dragons fans should be find this enjoyable. I usually like faster narratives; trying listening at 1.25 speed.

Fantastic

I was told to read this book by a friend. Don’t have much time to read but I have a long drive every day. This book was fantastic. The story was great and the narrators voice was spot on.I hope audible but’s the series on sale. Can’t wait to start book 2.
