However, I stand by my words that Drizzt is whiny (and yes, I have read all the novels up to The Hunter's Blades, which I simply couldn't get myself to finish. It wasn't grabbing me at all). Drizzt's diaries are full of "woe is me, for I can never find a home", then of "woe is me, for I still do not feel full". The tone does change later on, but by then the Marty Stu'ness has pretty much taken over, and the novels basically read as a whole bunch of things that, no matter how bad they are, never really affect Drizzt, who also manages to score all the hot chicks.In fact, my favourite Salvatore Dnd novels are those where Drizzt does not feature (like Servant of the Shard), as I find Entreri, Wulfgar or Jarlaxle far more interesting, "real" characters. I guess your mileage may vary.</blockquote>
