I think Sojourn has one of the grossest villains in the entire series tbh

I think the cover art for Sojourn is probably my favourite in the series Also a big fan of the classic The Crystal Shard art (big image)

He does look cozy but he's also on a snow-covered mountain so I feel like that probably cancels the fluffy coat out

How far are you in Sojourn?
I will say that the next trilogy deviates from the drow completely, it's more about Drizzt and his surface friends

I just got to the part where Urglegurgle just slaughtered the human family. Like 40ish pages in?
I'm not enjoying the surface as much, I feel like the Underdark is quite a unique setting compared to what I'm used to so it was intriguing to read about. Also for me it is kind of jarring to read dialogue when it is written how the US southern accent is supposed to sound.

I didn't know that they actually wrote a US southern accent omg I listened to the audiobook and it wasn't obvious. That's hilarious
Urglegurgle isn't the villain I'm talking about btw
The next arc won't have anything to do with the Underdark once again but the arc after that will, heavily

do you prefer audiobooks to reading? or was that just what was available?
I was gonna say, Urglegurgle is like gross in every possible way, so it couldn't have been him
Are there other arcs that take place mainly or only on the surface as well?

Most of them, as far as Drizzt is involved, are on the surface; however there are some more drow that get introduced later and their storylines are based in the underdark so yeah
I prefer reading because I can set my own pace and it's more mentally stimulating that way. I also get really antsy when I listen to audiobooks. The narrator and audio quality have to be good enough (fortunately the Drizzt narrator is excellent) and if they're lacking I get distracted almost immediately and want to do something else I only listened for books 1-3, that was what was available at the time
