R.A. Salvatore's "Passage to Dawn", #97
Six years. Not so long in the lifespan of a drow. And yet -- in counting the months, the weeks, the days, the hours -- it seemed to me as if I had been away from Mithral Hall a hundred times that number. The place was another lifetime, another way of life, a mere stepping stone to. . .
To what? To where?
I ride the waves along the Sword Coast now, the wind and spray in my face. My ceiling is the rush of clouds and the canopy of stars; my floor, the creaking boards of a swift, well-weathered ship. Beyond that lies the azure blanket, flat and still, heaving and rolling, hissing in the rain and exploding under the fall of a breaching whale.
Is this, then, my home?
Review: Not bad. Actually, it was pretty good! Once Salvatore stops focusing so much on Drizzt's "woe is me" attitude, his books are actually worth reading, go figure. I loved Drizzt and Catti-brie's adventures on the Sea Sprite, together with Deudermont, Robillard and Harkle Harpell. That was really cool. Though it is a bit annoying that Salvatore writes Catti-brie like she's the best thing that ever happened to anybody who met her. I for one would prefer to learn more about Cadderly's wife. The whole Drizzt+Catti-brie+Wulfgar triangle is getting old.
