Am currently reading R.A. Salvatore's
Dark Elf Trilogy, consisting of the books
Homeland,
Exile, and
Sojourn - set in the popular Forgotten Realms world.
The series is basically the backstory to one of the most popular FR characters of all time, the rogue drow elf Drizzt Do'Urden - who among his spiteful, treacherous and bloodthirsty race actually has a conscience and a sense of honor. Thus he ends up as the 'black sheep' of his high-ranking (and nefariously ambitious) family and an infidel to their fanatical worship of the drow goddess Lloth. Needless to say, problems arise.
I seem to remember first reading this series back in the early Nineties - but don't recall if I actually finished them all.
Homeland is a solid read, since it deals with Drizzt's development and his increasing disillusionment with the society that spawned him. However, once we get to
Exile, it just didn't seem as good (or gripping) - he leaves his society and becomes an outcast, which means the interesting characters from the first book don't play so much of a role in his doings. We get a new cast of supporting characters instead, which lack the same oompf. Not got to
Sojourn yet.
