Because of course. Can't make it easy can we? Of course not.

I didn't see it coming and it makes me sad. The twists and turns off intrigue continue to tangle. Ibn must die

The intrigue and weaving plots are really well done she becoming numerous which isn't a bad thing. I love liriel and get character growth is immaculate thus far

I'm loving this trilogy. The characters and overall adventure has picked up exponentially. I do hope ibn dies though.

A quarter of the way in and this one is picking up hardcore with an enemy that is incredibly intriguing

Liriel is still my favorite. I'm not quite sure how much I like any of the other characters though, every man seems wayyy too similar to each other.

And now we are at sea, let's see where this goes

Liriel is slowly turning into one of favorite characters in the realms. She's decent in spite of her upbringing.

Shit went sideways quick. Vhaerun is a douche god if we base it around followers. Of course, if we did that, then what God wouldn't be...

A time of peace???? In menzo??? I also didn't expect this all to come crashing down on propel liriel as quickly as it did

I love liriel. She's exactly the kind of character I wanted to see in menzo. The drizzt series simply follows the major players and it's nice to get to see what everyday life is like.

I really like liriel, I know in gonna be upset with her outcome but she's one of my favorite characters at the moment.

I love liriel and I'm fairly nervous as to how her story ends seeing as how she's never mentioned again in the main drizzt stories to my recollection.

Also not a fan of the horse dying.

I'm liking the glimpse into the lower class life in menzo. Gromph shaking a child was unusual and I'm definitly interested to see where that goes

It feels good to be back in menzo but it feels weird reading menzo that isn't salvatore

I'm glad that i can count on Ivan to call drizzt out on his bullshit.

Drizzt is on the move with Pegasus in tow and a measure of the orc king. I love this trilogy alot other than drizzts decision to not go and immediately had for mithral hall

Mithral hall now stands as the gateway to an orc kingdom and i am continually annoyed by drizzt aiming and insisting all his friends are dead with the only proof being a helmet left in some rubble.

Cattie-Brie begins her journey into an entirely new discipline, whether she wants to or not. Galen Firth is sadly still alive.

Galen Firth is a war criminal and should be tortured and hanged for all the destruction wrought and life lost due to his ineptitude, pride and xenophobia

Rannek of nesme, I love that he makes a pretty significant appearance here considering he is one of the leads and playable characters in demon stone. An underrated Salvatore written game in which drizzt (playable) and pwent make appearances. I believe zhai is mentored by jarlaxle at some point as well but I don't think illius ever is.

More drizzt brooding over something that would take minimal effort to confirm or deny and the definitive start to the first true Orc King

I love the battle of keepers dale as it's one of a handful of moments while reading that I've cheered out loud

Things are coming to a head in the best way

I had forgotten about pikels incident during the war. We're in the thick of it now and the bones and stones grow with each page

Obould grows bolder and drizzt continues his semi understandable grieving. Much could have been avoided by just returning to the hall.

So many important characters coming together is anyways enjoyed

The reversion to the Hunter is understandable and even thinking bruenor dead but I'll never understand not holding it hope for the others since he found no even remotely definitive sign of their demise.

Everything is coming to a head at shallows. I du not look forward to sulky drizzt especially given that it happens erroneously but still this trilogy is a really fun ride.

The doodad impresses the elves of the moonwood. Even proclaimed favored. Love pikel
