Re: Drizzt Do'Urden is awesome and you know it

Ahahaha that image. I'm dying.

But seriously for a minute, and I don't want to shit on something you like, but since we were talking about quality of writing.... those books are bad. The writing is legit terrible. It's the purplest purple prose, what are character motivations, unclear phrasing, nonsensical character development. It's terrible. The worldbuilding is also the exact opposite of any kind of nuanced.

I read the first book last year, and then started the second book - and halfway through I had to take a break because I found myself thinking oh, the writing isn't actually THAT bad---- so I quickly ran to read something better.
I get liking them as guilty pleasure - I myself have a crazy weakness for Drow elves. But... sorry, I can't agree that these books were good.

At the very least, I'll give you that the worldbuilding is utter crap. I hate everything about the Forgotten Realms setting, and I hate that it's effectively become the "default" fantasy setting in the same way that Middle-Earth used to be the "default" fantasy setting.

Well, I do think that Wee Teen Me would have loved the hell out of those books. I do get the appeal of his character, but the books almost made me wish for a reboot of some sort.
I mean I even love wangst, okay.
