Fiction

The Legend of Drizzt: The Dark Elf Trilogy Book 1
Homeland by R.A. Salvatore
Chapters 25–29 [the end]

It took me a little while to warm up to this, but I enjoyed it a fair bit in the end. I'm not sure it ever fully transcends certain stereotypes of Fantasy fiction, but it's not a bad tale. Book 2 should be coming in my next delivery from the partwork, so I'll probably dive into it fairly quickly. (Hopefully the trilogy-concluding third volume won't be too far behind, though if they're cycling through all three trilogies they've started in issues 1–3, it won't be until at least the fourth delivery, likely in December.)
