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??

Graphic: Child death, Death, Violence, and Murder
Moderate: Animal cruelty, Animal death, Racism, and Xenophobia
Minor: Grief, Cannibalism, and Death of parent
The racism tag is for fantasy racism. Also this covers a lot of the tags (child death, murder, violence, etc) but an entire family is straight up brutally murdered near the beginning and it's a large part of what drives the plot forward for a significant amount of the book. Some of their bodies are half-eaten by gnolls (? I can't recall if this is the right creature), so that's what the cannabilism tag is for, it's not exactly correct but I thought I should add it anyway
