Just read the first 2 books in the Dark Elf Trilogy by RA Salvatore
Salvatore home page here
This story is set in the Forgotten Realms Universe, specifically Underdark, which is based on TSR games
I enjoyed the first book Homeland a lot, simple but quite refreshing to have a fantasy book slanted to the Dark elves and the evil beings of the world. Although Drizzt does rebel against the inherant nature of dark elves or Drow. Not giving away much with that, cos where would a book be without conflict. Homeland follows Drizzt from birth to young adult, don't forget that elves live for a long time, and all of his trials and tribulations. Concurrent with his upbringing is the struggle for power that his House and family strives for. As do all Drow.
Exile the second book introduces more detail on the other subterranean races, but I found the story line a bit too simplistic with events thrown in to keep the reader happy with the pace of the story. Just a very simple plot. Saying this I will read the third book, Sojourn soon, then The Icewind Dale Trilogy after that, which has Drizzt continuing with his adventures.
have also bought 13 of the 14 Harpers series; Sure hope I like them.
