[QUOTE="Ancalagon, post: 6885016, member: 23"] One thing I noted was the characterization of Drizzt changed somewhat over time. (First of all an admission, yes, I read a lot of Drizzt books when I was young. I got better okay? ;) ): In the first novel (The Crystal Shard) published in 1988, Drizzt was depicted as a skilled and determined warrior, but he wasn't amazingly good - he could be defeated, and Bruenor and Wulfgar were his match (or perhaps even better). However, in the Dark Elf Trilogy (published in 1990-1991... sheesh a lot of books in a short time) Drizzt was shown to be an increasingly skilled fighter. By the time we returned to the "present" in "The Legacy" novel, Drizzt was now the near unstoppable whirlwind of blady death we are familiar with. To be honest, I think that the original characterization was more interesting and "balanced". [/QUOTE]
