Our view

“Starless Night” throws the heroes of “The Legend of Drizzt” into one tight corner after another and lets nerve and ingenuity get them out. Readers find it enjoyable; some value its reflective moments, and others are pleased that a female companion at last acts on her own. Others again feel luck favours the heroes too readily in enemy territory, or wished for more intrigue and fewer fights.
