As the third son of Mother Malice and weaponmaster Zaknafein, Drizzt Do’Urden must be sacrificed to Lolth, the evil Spider Queen, per the traditions of their matriarchal drow society. But with the unexpected death of his older brother, young Drizzt is spared—though still at the mercy of his abusive sisters.

Review of 'Homeland' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

Choosing a Drow for a new D&D campaign, I figured I’d best come to terms with the most famous of them all, Drizzt Do’Urden.
A well-written book what with the grammar & world building, but an eye-rolling character & arc. Chosen by fate, best at everything, showered with magical gifts & lucky lucky luck, why are ppl so cruel to me, the beautiful & misunderstood... etc. etc. It’s a Mary-Sue Male fantasy bordering on the incel at times (Women! They’re all against me!) but fairly entertaining for the descriptions of the Underdark & Drow society - which is what I read it for. Great success!
I didn’t hate it but probably won’t wade through any more from this series.
