Personally though, I didn't care too much to hear anymore about the Drow still living back in Drizzt's homeland. While the plot didn't introduce much in the way of new or unexpected ideas, it still kept me listening without getting boring. This book had a good mix of action and character development. Although 10 years have elapsed in the interim, little has changed except that Drizzt has been surviving on his own and has grown even harder and tougher. The second book in this trilogy picks up virtually right where the first one left off.

I look forward to pick up the next book when it is out. I find this book to be better written and more enjoyable than the first one, so I recommend this book. Though, not the best, It is well done and does add to the experience. Drizzt's friendship explored in this book also provides good depth that it is put to test as dark elves hunt Drizzt to appease their deity. Drizzt's interaction with these races provides good action and entertainment. Book introduces new races and their cultures which provide more contrast to the drow society. His thought process, his principles and decision making is been discussed in more details that book is more focused on Drizzt than his environment.

Author continue to flush out the character, and readers gets to know Drizzt at a deeper level. Time away from any social interaction takes a deep toll on Drizzt's psyche which is discussed in a lot of detail. This is the second book in the series, and book begins with Drizzt's exile where he has chosen to exile himself due to differences with his family as well as drow society in general. The action starts of with a bang and bangs you to the end. In 'Exile', there was no need for conservativeness. 'Homeland' started in a measured pace as we were introduce to the world of Menzoberranzan and gradually picked up with the emergence of Drizzt. Yes, it was hard to stop because I wanted to know what happen next. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? But I also like his protrayal of Belwar Dissengulp, he really brought that character to life for me. Which character – as performed by Victor Bevine – was your favorite?ĭrizzt Do'Urden of course.

And that even though he dwells in the depths of, seemingly, a hell of world in Menzoberranzan, in the Underdark, he never gives in to the darkness but instead holds true to his standards and ideals. His willingness to sacrifice to help his friends and, sometimes, even strangers is an example of his heroic nature. I was introduced to Drizzt Do'Urden and got to know him a little bit in 'Homeland', but it's in 'Exile' that I became emotionally invested in Drizzt and his moral integrity.
