Well, some people don't think that should apply to Drizzt. |

Agreed. What's funny is that some Drizzt fans (I visited RAS's forums) are annoyed by Drizzt having a harder time in this book.

And in chapter 13, we get a glimpse of politically correct orc culture from ancient times.
On the plus side, I like how the fight scenes are using creepy enemies that haven't been used much before. While I'm not a huge fan of RAS's combat scenes, it's nice to read about scary, ugly planar enemies rather than: "Drizzt and his friends came upon a random group of goblins, which they slaughtered easily."
