Aaaah... Drizzt. A fine specimen of Salvatore's creation.
Also, The Spearwielder's Tale was quite an entertaining one by him.
He does quite exceptional battle scenes, Salvatore that is.
Odd note: I have a soft spot for the Abellican monks... Love the stones and their tendency to stick to hand-to-hand combat. Could do without their Blessed Abelle chatter.
