The paperback edition of the first book in Salvatore's classic dark elf tales.
This is the paperback version of the stunning new release of the classic R.A. Salvatore novel that begins the tale of his signature dark elf character, Drizzt Do-Urden(TM).
I wanted to like this book more than I did, though it did grow on me by the end. I enjoy fantasy as a general rule but the third-person narration in Homeland was annoyingly pedantic at times. We get it, Drow are evil, Lolth is terrible - I don't like my narrator so emotionally involved in the plot - and why can't evil be a little more nuanced? The first half of the book moved a bit slowly as all the world building was established but the plot picked up eventually, so I'd give Homeland a decent three out of five.
