"There's a lot that Jarlaxle doesn't know: is he the lone survivor of the raid on the slaad fortress, can he even find a way to get out, and beyond his immediate predicament, could he possibly escape the ice caverns and get help for his friends? However, what Jarlaxle does know is that if he plans to come back--if Catti-brie, Entreri, and Zaknafein are to have any hope of surviving--he's going to have to bring back far more firepower. An army of aevendrow seems unlikely, so he must go home and pull together a team with great skill and unimaginable power. But how will he get home? Will such a collection of warriors and mages come to his aid? And even if he manages all that, will it be enough? For Jarlaxle has seen the slaadi's power and their god in a most personal and terrifying way. Trapped in the ice while the world is on fire, Jarlaxle is in a race against time--and burdened with a magical secret--to save a peaceful city and his companions. And he's running out of tricks in his bag of holding..."--Book cover flap. Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |

Usually, I have one person or group whose story I prefer to follow. Here, I was equally invested in all of them. Of course, it doesn't hurt that each group had favourite people in it. Drizzt for one. Jarlaxle and Entreri. Gromph. Quenthel.
The story, and its greater implications for the drow themselves, drew me along, calling to the cultural anthropologist in me. I'd love the chance to immerse myself in Callidae and its culture. For the most part, the drow have been portrayed as 'evil', and *no* culture is purely good or evil. Not the least because those are moral concepts. 'There is nothing that is good nor bad but that thinking makes it so.' I'm so glad we are seeing more and more drow not under Lolth's influence.
And clearly I need to catch back up with the series!! When my lucky black cat Drizzt passed, I stopped reading for a time. I missed 6 books, and just jumped right back in without reading the missing ones. I missed the start of Gromph and Jarlaxle's new circumstances.
I loved getting to see old friends again too. One was a big surprise that tickled me. Now that the secret of Callidae is known by more than Jarlaxle's group, it opens up so many more possibilities. I don't know the logistics of establishing trade connections with Bregan D'aerthe, but I can see that happening.
Highly recommended for any D&D or Legend of Drizzt fans, or if you just want fun fantasy.
