The story was extremely satisfying, from the beginning to the very end. Even the POV's of the villains are intriguing and juicy to read. But what I love most of all about Exile is that it is one of the most meaningful fantasy novels I have ever read. Its themes include fighting your inner demon, and how friendship can redeem the spirit. Themes that have been done, but written well enough to not be corny.

Drizzt isn't just a two-dimensional protagonist; he could be his own antagonist. Salvatore could have made the story corny, but it turned out to be a heart-wrenching and heart-warming story at the same time. I cried and rejoiced inside as I read of his trials.

Salvatore's writing style is addictive. I read the first page, and hungered for more.
