I've read the darkelf trilogy, and is now at page 200 at the ICWD trilogy. Drizzt is a good character, but overrighteous and noble in a sickengly way. I don't know, I just don't like the characters that has self-imposed to rid the world of all evils and sickly overrighteous, In the darkelftrilogy he was more reflecting, and I liked him better there. In the ICWD trilogy he seams to enjoy slaughtering and torturing the evil creatures, something which doesn't make him any better than his foes. I actually find Bruenors personality to be far superior to Drizzts', not only is he funny, but he is also IMO a far more believable character. So I would actually like to see more dwarven heroes, enough of the Humans and them pointy-ears  |
Amen about the Dwarf protagonist thing!
And yeah, Drizzt can be nice, but he can also be a bit overly capable. Still, you should read the latest series of Drizzt Do'Urden books (The 'Hunter's Blades' Trilogy), especially 'The Lone Drow.' You'll definitely see a side of Drizzt you never expected to see. Still, I'd suggest reading the books that lead up to that - The 'Legacy of the Drow'* and 'Paths of Darkness'** collections, in that order - before you read 'The Hunter's Blades.' Fortunately both collections mentioned above are each in one large book each. Sound comprehendable?
Notes:
* = set of books after The Icewind Dale Trilogy.
** = set of books after the Legacy of the Drow collection
