Publisher Description
New York Times–bestselling series: The saga of one of fantasy's most beloved heroes reaches a sweeping, epic climax in this conclusion to the Homecoming trilogy
Something akin to "peace" has come to the Underdark. The demon hordes have receded, and now the matron mothers argue over the fate of Drizzt Do'Urden. Even so, it becomes clear to one matriarch after another that while the renegade drow may come and go Menzoberranzan, the City of Spiders will crawl forever on.
And so Drizzt is free to return to his home on the surface once again. Scores are settled as lives are cut short, yet other lives move on. For the lone drow there is only a single final quest: a search for peace, for family, for home—for the future.
Hero is the third book in the Homecoming trilogy and the thirty-third book in the Legend of Drizzt series.
Customer Reviews
Absolute masterpiece
After nearly thirty years of Drizzt, spanning more than 33 novels, one might think that this story might have gotten stale. But, in fact, i believe it has only gotten better. These most recent books, starting with "Gauntlgrym", detail the years in our hero's life that are a sort of second life (as Innovindil suggest he live his life in multiple lifetimes). The time of the companions of the hall is long since over, with new characters, as well as the old, brought together, to form a group of friends and heroes unlike any that Faerun has seen since times long forgotten. A new enemy threatens the dark elf, a threat that comes from within himself, as well as from external forces. Can Drizzt find a way to overcome and regain his true self again? Who will come to the aide of this goodly drow? A new hero rises from an old familiar source. Find out who the hero is in this, the latest chapter of The Legend of Drizzt. The ending made me tear up in happiness. Definitely do not miss this book.
Hero
There are several excellent pages to this book, but overall it was a slower and more predictable read than the earliest of Drizzt’s story.
Uninspired
The decline in Salvatore from his original works is undeniable. This entire series is predicated on a “reset” and it’s obvious to me there will never be a moment going forward where there’s a true concern from the reader for the outcome of any of his protagonist character(s) ever again. He can’t even let villains be villains, be it men or the gods themselves.
