Summary: I really enjoyed this set of 3 books
Review: I've read a ton of fantasy and science fiction. This compendium of 3 Salvatore books really grabbed my imagination. I would liken this set in quality to the world of Sparrowhawk in The Earthsea Trilogy created by Ursula K. Le Guin. I've read all the other "Drizzt" books and think this set is Salvatore's best in the series. Hats off to the author. Highly recommend even if you read nothing else in Forgotten Realms.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fantasy begins here
Review: Salvatore's Dark Elf Trilogy was the first fantasy I ever read aside form the hobbit(obviously) and MTG novel or two. This series was what got and has kept me into the fantasy genre. "Homeland" is the first and by far the best book of the series. It gives the reader a detailed account of life with the dark the dark elves of the Underdark. (The imagery of "Homeland" is incredible, Almost even comparable to Tolkien,) And begins to chronicle the advetures of Drizzt, who Salvatore has now managed to write about a dozen novels about. "Sojourn" is a little slower to get into but if you can just hang in there for the first hundred pages or so The plot picks and up and stays steady for the rest of the trilogy.

Fans of this series would enjoy: "Cormyr" By Jeff Grubb and Ed greenwood and the all three books of MTG's Ice age cycle.

P.S. If you plan to continue the series you are best to get the next three book of the Icewind Dale Trilogy as paperbacks. The trade paperback and hardback of the trilogy is horribly flawed with typo's to the point of annoyance.

Also pick up the Salvatore's "Silent Blabe", "The Spine of the World"(amazing, his best since "Homeland") and "The Servant of the Shard".

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent Book
Review: Very good book about the history of Drizzt and how he arrived at Icewind Dale.If you havent ready any of Bob Salvatores books I recommend you start here.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This book is very good
Review: The Dark Elf Trilogy by R.A. Salvatore This book contains three of his best books. They all contain Drizzt Do' Urden. They go one after another in a continuing saga. They are all action packed and contain many of Drizzt's sword melee's in vivid description. The first book, Forgotten Realms, contains everything from Drizzt's birth up to the point where he's a weapon master. The next book, Exile, contains Drizzt's travels in the Underdark. The third book, Sojourn, covers his many tries to fit in human society on the surface. This is a really good book and I recommend it to any fantasy or Sci-Fi reader.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: a great read
Review: This is a very well written and easy to read story by one of the best. If you are hoping for a Robert Jordan type of epic, forget it (I am a fan of this kind of work however). This book does not mess around with pages and pages of scene setting, character descriptions etc etc. It is fast moving with action a plenty. Have no doubt, you will be part of Drizzt's world when reading this book.

I had fun reading this book and found it difficult to put down.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best fantasy trilogy of the last 2 decades!
Review: In my experience of fantasy book reading it is my absolute convincement that this trilogy is the best I have ever read of the ones based on the TSR Dungeons and Dragons. You will visit the dark underground city of Menzoberranzan, where the evil dark elf dwell in their neverending search for power.

Meet Drizzt do'Urden, a peculiar dark elf who has been granted a white soul, and the strength and capacity to uphold his positive ideals in a world where treachery is the code. See him grow up, finally understand the background and past experiences of the dark skinned ranger we all already loved in "The Cristal Shard".

Meet his father Zaknafein, the allmighty Master of Arms of the noble Shaezbernon house, capable of ripping out with a flash of his whip the tongue of a chanting drow priestess before she can lay whatever spell on him.

Geat characters, great story in the best fantasy books R.A. Salvatore ever wrote.

Remember: "Forgotten Realm" books will never get better than these 3, so read them slowly and with gusto.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Salvatore panders out some more garbage
Review: OH look more books about a god like characters from Salvatore (another cadderly from "the clerical quintet.") A good drow who can take on a whole army and not die, and then his rival who also could take on a whole army and not die and look we got lots of pages about nothing. Because the antagonist can't kill the main character and the main character can't kill the antagonist. What's the point in reading a book when you know the out come, Drizzt wins. If Salvatore can ever evolve out of his "god characters" style of writing he actually might become a worthwhile author.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Drizzt Do'Urden
Review: I have read and own all books surrounding Drizzt Do'Urden. This charecter is the best one created by R.A. Salvatore. I would walk and fight beside Drizzt anyday! My only regret is that there are no more for me to read, but Drizzt, I will never forget.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best there is
Review: R.A Salvator has brought to life Drizz a dark elf. The action always keeps the reader on the edge of his seat. The plots are develped perfectly to always keeping the reader wondering what will happen next. He has also developed a great insight into the drow of the underdark. He painted vivid images that will keep the reader marveling. The double scimitar wielding elf and his magical panther adeventures through the underdark and on the world above are top of the line.

If you are a first time fantacy reader this is the trilogy to start out with. Once you read him you are hooked.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Add Salvatore to the list of fantasy literature greats
Review: The Dark Elf Trilogy is simply a stunning piece of fantasy literature. Salvatore not only gives us a touching prequil to his acclaimed Icewind Dale Trilogy, but developes an entire Underdark society in the process. As we travel through the life of the enigmatic dark elf Drizzt Do'Urden, we experience the enitre feel of Drow society through Salvatore's masterful discription.

Drizzt has become one of the fantasy world's most beloved charecters, and it is not hard to see why. The internal struggle Drizzt faces between his personal morals and society's norms becomes a lesson of life for all readers.

The trilogy not only is a great entertaining epic tale, it is also an invaluble asset to Dungeon Masters who are looking to learn more about Drow society. Salvatore creates an entire dark world which he thouroghly and entertainingly emerses the reader in. The perfect read for the DM wanting to involve Drow or the Underdark in general to their campaign.
