Review of The Legend of Drizzt: Volume One by R.A. Salvatore

Author:  R.A. Salvatore.
Title:  The Legend of Drizzt:  Volume One.
Publisher:  Wizards of the Coast, LLC.
Copyright:  2013.
Pages:  936.
Price:  $19.95 (US).

Overview and Impressions:
This was an omnibus of the the first three Drizzt novels:  Homeland, Exile, and Sojourn.  They contain the adventures of a young drow elf who rejects his violent homeland for exile and eventual adventures on the surface world.  The first novel paints a dreadful picture of his homeland and city of Menxoberranzan.  The second deals with his misadventures escaping it.  Sojourn is concerned with his exploits making his way on the surface world. 

Drizzt is a fighter.  However, he is versed in magic.  The tell is told in third person and then interspersed with first person narrative.  The first omnibus took a while to read.  However, it's recommended as good fantasy writing by R.A. Salvatore.
