Hope this won't be considered a pointless bump. Anyway!
I just thought I'd share my thoughts, having read a few of the novels I ordered.
SPOILERS
I read through the Dark Elf trilogy first, which well... I don't really know what I think about it. The writing style, etc were good as far as I'm concerned. The character that is Drizzt actually appeals less to me after having read these books though. He harbors strong principals and even thinks in terms of honor, before ever meeting his father. By all rights he shouldn't even have HEARD of such terms. Anyway, I'm not saying I'm sorry I bought this series, but I had hoped for more.
I am nearly done with the first Baldur's Gate novel, which is indeed horrible storywise. Gorion is turned from a harper mage to a monk/cleric of Torm, Khalid cheated on Jaheira (as if he'd have the guts), Xan went from cowardly mage to cynical fighter/thief and where on earth is Imoen!? The protagonist has a thing going on with my favourite druid though. I'm a sucker for Jaheira
Made this novel worthwhile, even though she was somewhat reduced in spirit and went up on the "damsel-in-distress" o' meter.
Looking forward to reading the rest ^^
