With the release of the movie Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, the classic tabletop role-playing game (RPG) is being thrust into the forefront of culture yet again. D&D has been in our lives for more than 40 years, and millions of folks globally continue to explore new realms. But the franchise is not limited to dice, guidebooks, and miniatures—in addition to film, television, music, and beyond, D&D is a natural fit for the world of audio.

The first book of the Dark Elf trilogy ranks among my favorite books of all time. It's sequel was less memorable, but still a great book. Now, the final installment of the trilogy, unfortunately doesn't come close to the first 2.

While the writing is still fine, there are no memorable characters anymore. As there's nothing of interest happening in Menzoberranzan anymore, the main antagonist changes from the extremely interesting Matron Malice, to an extremely stereotypical Rowdy McGruff, who doesn't develop at all throughout the book and is your typical mercenary who just wants to kill someone. There's no real background story on him, no development at all. There are other antagonists, but they fall in the category of 'I will kill you because I am evil'.

The people Drizzt meets along the way are equally plain. Some characters have pages upon pages of introduction, only to never return again after a seemingly insignificant encounter.

The book starts off excellent but went downhill for me, ending in a rush. Whereas the last book, a relationship between Drizzt and his friends was developed over multiple chapters, here, both friendship, good and bad events seem to happen almost instantly near the end of the book, as if the writer was trying to cram it all in a set number of pages. The fast pace combined with the overuse of several words ('lament' comes to mind) makes the book feel less polished than it should be.

It's a good book, but ultimately falls way short of my expectations after the first 2 excellent entries in the trilogy.

Solid but disappointing end of a trilogy

Before purchasing this book I read a number of bad reviews complaining about a number of decisions the write made about the main character Drizzt. DON'T LISTEN TO THE BAD REVIEWS! This book wowed me like no other D&D book has. It was so action packed right from the beginning, and stayed tight up until the end. This book casts Drizzt in what I say is exactly the right light. Those who complained about his character clearly did not know the source material that well, material written by the SAME writer. Highly recommend, worth the purchase.

So good!

Great story. Excited to see what comes next.

If you could sum up Sojourn in three words, what would they be?

lots of action and moves the tale of Drizzt at a good pace!
