Book 7 of the Drizzt Do'Urden, saga begins with a very settled and happy dark elf as life is good. His dearest friend, the dwarf Bruenor, has reclaimed his throne, and his adventuring companions, Wulfgar and Catti-brie, are to be wed in the spring. Even the halfling Regis has returned. All the friends are united in the safety and prosperity of Mithril Hall, where streams of silver mithril run deep and dwarven hammers bang out the solemn rhythms of ancient and unending songs. But Drizzt did not achieve this state of peace without leaving powerful enemies in his wake. Lloth, the dreaded Spider Queen deity of the evil dark elves, counts herself among them and has vowed to end the drow's days of pleasant security.
Have to admit that I'm kind of coming in waaaaaaaaaay after the point. Picked up the omnibus of these 4 books but I haven't actually read the first 6...and while I probably would have gotten more out of the relationship of the group I didn't feel like I was lost. Props to RA Salvatore for that! The story was engaging, enemies were great and the detail of swordplay...well I felt that I was there in person witnessing it.
If DnD and fantasy are your thing then I would recommend however might I suggest starting at the beginning?
