| I don't like the idea of it being an imposter. For starters, in The Last Threshold, Drizzt spots "young" Wulfgar when he visits the tribes. Salvatore already knew he was bringing the Companions back, so why include that bit. Next, Wulfgar's suffered through death/life and being a puppet of great powers once before. His attitude for resistance is very understanding IMHO but it's also fear and Tempus doesn't like cowards. Lastly, someone had to resist coming back. He had a whole life after leaving the Companions. Not seeing his new childhood allowed his return to be a surprise, not just for the Companions, but for the readers. |

| How difficult or easy would folks say it would be to get into and understand these books, having had a hiatus since Richard Baker's Last Mythal trilogy in pre-Spellplague 2006, and the last Drizzt book being The Thousand Orcs? (Good Ao, I've been gone too long) |

I can't speak for anyone but myself. I had a lengthy hiatus after the Sea of Swords. I have now caught up through The Companions after picking up the series in 2010. That's what, 11 books in three years. In that time, I've also read The Sellsword Trilogy and most of the Erevis Cale books. So in my experience, it was relatively easy. |

In the Drizzt saga, I stopped after the trilogy that The Thousand Orcs began and picked up the Companions with no problem. I don't think you will have any issues. |
