So I definitely don't recommend reading the epilogue because now I feel like I've been spoiled for the next trilogy in the world. I decided to read these in chronological order, so don't read that epilogue if you're doing the same as I am. Other than that last little bit, I really enjoyed Sojourn. These books are nothing crazy deep, but they're really fun, enjoyable reads packed with a lot of fighting and action scenes. Here, Drizzt has made it to the surface and is attempting to find a place where he belongs. His struggles were pretty on par for what I thought this book would tackle. I liked the different side characters he meets especially Mooshie because Mooshie has his dark side. The monks he interacts with also made me laugh out loud, so overall I just had a great time. I hope the ones that are alive at the end of the book pop back into the story at some point. I'm looking forward to seeing where Drizzt's adventure goes next in the Icewind Dale Trilogy.

The third book in the series, where Drizzt finally stops whining.

Fantastic
This entire trilogy has blown me away and I had no idea it existed until about two months ago. I highly recommend this series to any fans of fantasy.

Summary/Spoiler
Drizzt navigates the upper world and has difficulty finding a place to call home, but he meets just the right amount of decent characters to help him fight against the evil ones.

As the epilogue in R.A. Salvatore's "Sojourn" hints; there is still so much for Drizzt and company to see and do.
This particular chapter in Drizzt's tale could be one of my favorites in the series thus far. It opened my eyes and mind to the possibility of playing a ranger, to the rewards of the grief process, and to perspectives on forgiveness (towards myself and others) for when doubt and bias have occurred.
Shortly before starting this book in The Dark Elf Trilogy I lost my uncle to cancer. While reading about Drizzt and Mooshie, and later Drizzt and Bruenor, I found myself thinking about how much of a dwarf ranger my Uncle Kurt was at heart. His loyalty to his family, his love of wildlife and the outdoors, and even the Jarlaxle level pranks and humor he shared were not far from my mind while reading this third of the trilogy. I empathized with Drizzt as his faced loss and grief throughout this particular book, and I'd like to think we would be good company for each other during those somber times.
As I told my mom while wrapping up the epilogue, I am sad that I will have to wait until the move to Pittsburgh has come and gone in order to join Drizzt and his band of friends again for the next adventure. But if Drizzt and his friends, and even his foes, have taught us: the rewards of patience can be the greatest of all!

Didn't finish this, had ~140 pages left. No real reason, just bored of it and didn't finish by Library Day.
I liked Drizzt's more philosophical and religious asides in this one, and Montolio was cool. The bounty hunter villain was very uninteresting to me.

This was exactly what I was expecting it to be, and a nice, though maybe lackluster end to the Dark Elf Trilogy. I was a bit surprised nothing came up with Drizzt's family, and the overarching villain was just some random bounty hunter from the beginning of this book. I thought at least we'd have some kind of conclusion to Drizzt's surviving family members, though I guess you gotta keep some of that open for the next 30 books, can't use all your plot immediately
Absolutely LOVED the part with Mooshie and the Grove, that was top tier Svirfneblin City shit, Salvatore really knows how to write a somewhat abrasive, but very loveable older man. I didn't really connect with any of the characters in the other segments, though I guess Drizzt didn't either so that kinda checks out
Okay and also, did that dwarf seriously eat the dog??? He implied it so many times, but like surely not??
