it was amazing
bookshelves: fantasy

This captivating tale provides a deep emotional journey into the protagonist's life across various stages, delving into his family dynamics and interactions with the enigmatic Dark Elves, known as the Drow.

The author skilfully constructs a fantastical world within the Dark Elf habitat, where perpetual darkness and the absence of time create a unique backdrop. The exploration of varying shades of light and darkness, reflecting the emotions and specific locations of the Dark Elves, adds a compelling layer to the narrative.

The book stands out with its imaginative and inspiring elements, weaving together magic, Dark Elves, and diverse races in a beautifully written narrative. Personally, I found it to be a one-of-a-kind experience, thoroughly enjoying every moment and finding it difficult to set aside. The emotional depth in the main character's development, as he grapples with his existence, adds an extra layer of poignancy to the story.

I highly recommend the first three books in this series, I haven’t gotten far on after that but I loved them.. :)


Walter Great review and a great book, Julia! Homeland was my first real step into Drizzt’s world, and it left a strong impression. The atmosphere, the moral tension, the brutal beauty of Menzoberranzan—it all stuck with me. Such a powerful start to the series. Looking forward to reading more alongside readers like you!
