Book Review: Exile (The Legend of Drizzt #2) by R.A. Salvatore

Exile (Forgotten Realms: The Dark Elf Trilogy, #2; Legend of Drizzt, #2)Exile by R.A. Salvatore
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Book Two of the Legend of Drizzt series, and I enjoyed this one. This book is a continuation of the first book, and it was fantastic, just like the many other books I've read written by Mr. Salvatore. Drizzt is exiled from his home, and his trying to live his life traveling along the Underdark. His family is after him, once again, and while that was going on, Drizzt is fighting wizards, being a slave to yochols (which I shivered at because WTF), and befriending a clacker and becoming friends to a deep gnomes.

He even leaned the language of the gnomes, which was fun and enjoyable to read.

But the one thing that pisses me off more is when Matron Malice-that bitch, I fucking can't stand her and I'm so glad that she's dead, though I pissed that Dinin is alive-brought back Zaknafein and thought she could control him, but um, that did't work. He sacrificed himself and went back to the spirit world, never to return, and Dinin and my messy son Jarlaxle Banere (whom I love so, so much , and that I'm hoping he'll show up (newsflash, he is and I'm so excited) made a deal to get Drizzt soon, but not now, later, maybe soon.

And then he walks out of Menzroberranzan, never to be seen ever again, to finally go to the surface, just like in the next book, book 3.

I loved this book so much, and I'm so glad I've read his story in the first three books, and now I'm gonna read the Crystal Shard tonight (among my many other books I have on my currently reading list).

Book Review: Homeland (Legend of Drizzt #1) by R.A. Salvatore

Homeland (Forgotten Realms: The Dark Elf Trilogy, #1; Legend of Drizzt, #1)Homeland by R.A. Salvatore
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book is the first book of the Legend of Drizzt series, and the first book of the Dark Elf Trilogy...and holy crap Mr. Salvatore this is a beautiful book. I've had so many feels while reading this book, I got worried about Drizzt in the book, and also I got worried about his father, Zaknafein. Like all I want is a book with just Drizzt and Zak, being father and son, and living happily together, far away from Menzoberranzan and their political bullshit and the backstabbing that could make Andy Cohen blush.

Here this book is about the life of Drizzt when he's living in Menzoberranzan. From his birth to him killing Masoj, the only Dark Elf he ever killed, to meeting his cat Guenhwyvar. We also meet his famiily-Matron Malice, Briza, Vierna, Maya, Dinin-and I don't give a flying fuck about them. All of them can rot in hell for all I care. I hated the so much-okay, maybe I liked Vierna and Rizzen, those two can stay with Drizzt and Zak. The others can fucking die in a sewer and I wouldn't give a fuck about them-they can just die for all I care.

But this book made me worry, I think I nearly had anxiety just reading this beautiful book almost made me cry, for many reasons:

1.) Zak's sacrifice so Drizzt can live because that bit was bullshit
2.) Matron Malice hunger for power-like seriously, bitch, calm the fuck down, be glad you're the fucking ninth house and calm your tits.
3.) The beatings Drizzt got made me so damned mad, even though I know that's how they live and do things, but fuck those snake whips, they look like it hurt like hell and he dealt with it
4.) Drizzt saving the surface elf from his kin-the sweetest thing my boyfriend have ever done, and I'm glad he left that horrible place. I wouldn't survive Menzoberranzan, even if I was a drow/dark elf.

Book Review: Wicked Saints (Something Dark and Holy, #1) by Emily A. Duncan

Wicked Saints (Something Dark and Holy, #1)Wicked Saints by Emily A. Duncan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

My first book review of 2020...which is very late, but it's my bad because of school. But since I'm done studying, I guess I'll do a book review for this awesome book THAT BROKE ME TO THE POINT THAT MY BOY MALACHIASZ...MY BOY...I'M NOW WORRIED ABOUT HIM. Like damn, my boy, my sweet boy, is GONE. Completely gone. THANKS EMILY FOR NEARLY GIVING ME A BLOODY HEART ATTACK.

And Serefin? Mr. Prince that TURNED INTO A MOTH PRINCE BOY??? I hated him in the beginning-this I've said a couple times while I was reading it, I never liked this boy. But then I felt sorry for him because his father is a dick for wanting to be a god, but he failed in the end of being a god, and I almost had a heart attack when he died-and he got poisoned as well. But I secretly shipped him and Kacper for some odd reason, then Serefin and Zaneta, though at the end I really didn't like Zaneta.

But I loved the concept of a cleric who can hear the gods in her head-like all of them. It sounded so beautiful and perfect, and I loved Nadezhda, and I wanted to protect her so much. Then she falls for my son Malachiasz and I shipped them till the bloody end, when he turned into the Black Vulture and flew off, bloody tricking her (doooohhhhh I was so damned MAD when I read that...SO DAMNED MAD) that I wanted to fight someone (seriously, just wanna fight someone when it happened.

Also...fuck the King, fuck the Vultures, fuck the Crimson Vulture, fuck every bad thing in this book.

One more thing: the fights in this book were incredible.
