The mission starts abruptly and too much information about the rest of things is not there at all and for a new beginner, it could be of a little trouble if he already knows nothing about Drizzt. The appeal of the story would still be there so don’t hesitate to start this book as you will enjoy it for sure.
Some of the new enemies which come on the way do get a master stroke to form the author as it was needful. There are big wars in the middle and at the end of the book, everything is gigantic like always.
