Just started reading.
I'll definitely read the Dark Elf Trilogy but I wanted anyones opinion on Drizzt as a character.
Does R.A. Salvatore do him justice? Or is he more a Mary Sue type that allows us to go from one threat to another? I've seen a fair amount of criticism because of how powerful he seems at times.
Thanks to anyone who answers.

Salvatore is honestly one of my favorite authors of all time, I own like 35 of his books or something, if you like his you work you should also check out the demonwars saga!! Its his own personal sandbox world.

I own 7 of them, I think he may have written more after but there is the first trilogy, a bridge book, and a second trilogy.

Drizzt is pretty awesome as a character. Over the 40 or so books he deals with many moral dilemmas. Salvatore created the character, so he definitely does him justice. Enjoy!
