Search - Exile (Forgotten Realms: Dark Elf Trilogy, Book 2)

I loved this book. I remember a friend telling me about it a long time ago. Later on I found another friend who had the trilogy, and he let me borrow it. That's about the time I discovered R.A. Salvatore. I love the adventures of Drizzt and Guenhwyvar his magical cat. R.A. Salvatore is an excellent writer.

"Exile is R.A. Salvatore's second book in The Dark Elf Trilogy, set in the FORGOTTEN REALMS fantasy world from TSR, Inc."

I actually read this book first because I couldn't get my hands on Homeland; that didn't matter too much, though, since I was still drawn into the story and fascinated from beginning to end. I immediately got on Paperback Swap and requested the whole trilogy once I finished this!

it was a nice light read.

As for the story, this is one I've read a few times now. I can't say that it gets better with each read, because I tend to find plot holes and after awhile Drizzt's whining gets on a girl's nerves. I guess I prefer the hero who's not filled with continual angst and learns how to just deal with things and not looking for the reader's sympathy. I've learned to mostly skim the "reflections" part that are in first person in these books.

Regardless of how Drizzt can annoy me, the story surrounding him is fun. I tend to really like the supporting cast and the over-the-top craziness of some of the villains. I'll probably be re-reading this one again in a few years just for that reason alone.
