Summary
Hostile in ways that a surface-dweller could never know, the tunnel-mazes of the Underdark challenge all who tread there. Among these souls are Drizzt Do'Urden and his magical cat, Guenhwyvar.
Exiled from his drow homeland, Drizzt must fight for a new home in the boundless labyrinth. Meanwhile, he must watch for signs of pursuit - for the dark elves are not a forgiving race.

Brilliant book

The narration is pretty solid. The voices do fit the characters, the speed is just right and overall it is well done. However I'd like a bit more "soul" to it, something extra to make it a bit more exciting and reaching to the listener, but overall it's really solid and well done.
Story 7/10
I listened to this straight after the first book in the series and I can say it pretty much continues on the same level, while the first one was marginally better.
This time around we start with a lonely Drizzt, having run away from the Dark Elves society for several years living alone in the Underdark with Guenhwyvar being his only company. However, he won't be left alone and his mother will have him hunted down to gain favor with the Spider Queen.
We get a different view on Drizzt this time around, being hunted down, evaluating his actions and trying to figure out what he is supposed to do. Unfortunately, he is yet once more the only character focused on and developed while still fitting the "good" hero profile.
Overall I'd recommend this to any fantasy fan, even though I'd say it is more suited for younger ages rather than adults. If you just want something to pleasantly spend your time not expecting anything special out of it, go for it.
A good sequel

Also compared to book 1 in my opinion, the narrator did a much better job in translating emotions from the several characters.
Great Story!

A worthy sequel to Homeland and a dark and winding continuation of Drizzt's adventures. Drizzt has escaped his home city but threats find and pursue him, both in the wilds of the underdark and from his abandoned family.
- The dungeon master and D&D nerd in me loved meeting all the different creatures, races and monsters within this book, particularly the dark gnomes whose society I found very interesting. Several of these will be put to good use in my home game.
- The portrayal of Drizzt's internal battle and his struggle to remain himself and true to his moral was well done in a slightly clichéd classic fantasy manner. The way his companions and foes affect him is realistic and I enjoyed the sections focused on bonding with friends.
- The book switches between following Drizzt and following the exploits of House Do'Urden and this was a great contrast. The politics of the previous book continued to play out and gave a change of pace from the more action packed sections.
Thoroughly enjoyable and I will be going straight on to Sojourn as I'm eager to see how Drizzt goes on from here.
