darkelf105I positively hate the new Drizzt novel. Yeah, that's right, I said. I hate, nay, despise a Drizzt novel. There will most likely be death by alien invaders tomorrow, FYI.
It is quite possibly not only one of the worst Drizzt novels I've ever read (which is saying something), it's also quite possibly one of the worst books I've read and finished, period.
How the hell do you go from the wonderful that was The Pirate King to the slow slog through hell that is The Ghost King? For the sake of all the is good and awesome, how can a book that contains Jarlaxle be BORING? HOW CAN JARLAXLE BE BORING? I dunno, but Salvatore managed it.
Also, no one gives a rat's ass about Cadderly Bonduce's children. They are not only human and teenaged twins, they are also BORING. In fact, their being human and teenaged twins consigns them to the realm of boring fantasy characters almost instantly.
Regis and Catti-brie, you guys got punked. Neither of you were ever my favorite characters, but I weep for you fates. I am sorry.
