Homeland

In the past few years I have started to delve more and more into the world of fantasy. I have picked up many books and just found them wanting in story. Too many hard to read made up names and place. When I first picked up this book I thought oh great another book with impossible to read word. How do you pronounce Drizzt or Menzoberranzan anyways. I have heard of this author before and I have heard this character of Drizzt was supposed to be a good one so I soldiered on. This book is a bit more than I expected the main character is flawed in his society and has a hard time relating to his peers and family. This is the first of a long sereis of Drizzt books and part of an even longer Forgotten Realms series. This is the beginning story of Drizzt from his birth, training, and becoming a supreme fighter. It gives perspective into the Drow society and the dark city if which they live. For fantasy this is quite good reading and I would recommend to anyone who enjoys fantasy. This is a Dungeons and Dragons book so if you play the game you most likely already know some of the background. If you are not into the game that is fine too as this explains some of the world.
Overall a good read not great. Will I read the next in the series? Absolutely I enjoyed it but would I recommend to a friend who does not read fantasy I don't think so.
