As the third son of Mother Malice and weaponmaster Zaknafein, Drizzt Do’Urden must be sacrificed to Lolth, the evil Spider Queen, per the traditions of their matriarchal drow society. But with the unexpected death of his older brother, young Drizzt is spared—though still at the mercy of his abusive sisters.

As Drizzt grows older, and proves himself to be a formidable warrior at Melee-Magthere Academy, he realizes his idea of good and evil does not match up with those of his fellow drow, who show only cruelty to the other races of the Underdark . . .

Drizzt Do’Urden, first introduced in The Icewind Dale Trilogy, quickly became one of the fantasy genre’s standout characters. With Homeland, Salvatore pulls back the curtain to reveal the fascinating tale of how this hero came to be—how this one lone …

Choosing a Drow for a new D&D campaign, I figured I’d best come to terms with the most famous of them all, Drizzt Do’Urden.
A well-written book what with the grammar & world building, but an eye-rolling character & arc. Chosen by fate, best at everything, showered with magical gifts & lucky lucky luck, why are ppl so cruel to me, the beautiful & misunderstood... etc. etc. It’s a Mary-Sue Male fantasy bordering on the incel at times (Women! They’re all against me!) but fairly entertaining for the descriptions of the Underdark & Drow society - which is what I read it for. Great success!
I didn’t hate it but probably won’t wade through any more from this series.

Premetto che di D&D non so nulla, ma non serve sapere il background di questo gioco per comprendere il libro.
Ciò che serve sapere è che Homeland è il primo libro di una trilogia (the dark elf trilogy) scritta dopo la Icewind Dale trilogy con la funzione di essere un prequel che spiegasse brevemente la vita di Drizzt e la sua fuga da Menzoberranzan (città degli elfi scuri). Non so cosa accada dopo, ma suppongo che chi abbia letto la trilogia seguente conoscesse Drizzt già da D&D, quindi consiglio di partire da questo libro per cominciare a conoscere il protagonista e tutto ciò che lo circonda.

Detto questo ho adorato questo libro per due aspetti: il worldbuilding e Drizzt. I love Drizzt

Ok, cerco di contenere il mio …
