In The Companions R. A. Salvatore brought Drizzt’s old friends The Companions of the Hall back to life. He did this in an amazing original way. Our heroes were not simply resurrected, instead they were given the chance to come back as newborn children. When they were born they had all of their memories of their past life and were fully conscious of this from the moment of birth. The book followed the first twenty-one years of the new lives of Cattie-Brie, Bruennor, and Regis as they grow and develop in their new personas. Each of them faces challenges and each of them grows in understanding as they prepare to meet again in Icewind Dale to stand beside their friend Drizzt.
Night of the Hunter picks up where both The Companions and The Last Threshold end. Readers of Salvatore’s Drizzt books know that he likes keeping a lot of different plot strands going at once. In Night of the Hunter this tendency is taken to the limit. There are at least four main plot lines going throughout the book. There are several other minor ones as well and they all touch, move on, bump in to another, and ricochet off that I felt at times like I needed to keep a score card to keep up with every character and plot happening around me. We follow more intrigues of Menzoberranzan as the Baenre family seeks to increase it’s powerful hold on the city. These intrigues include the new Drow city of Q’Xorlarrin that is being constructed in the ancient dwarven city of Gauntlgrym. Add to that the continuing story of Drizzt and his new friends, and the more recent companions of Drizzt and you have quite the story.
The primary story line follows Drizzt and the Companions as they work their way back to Gauntlygrim. Their mission their is to find their old friend Thibbledorf Pwent who has been turned into a vampire.
A fun Adventure!!
I can tell that RA Salvatore had a blast writing this story as it was incredibly fun to read. I admit, the Neverwinter Saga was a hard road for my favorite drow ranger. It was a hard read because of the world that Drizzt was moving through. It was a dark place and he was in a dark place emotionally. I do not believe it was meant to be comfortable for the reader.
If you have not read The Companions, stop here!!! Below will contain spoilers.
Night of the Hunter picks up right where The Companions left off with the Companions of the Hall. The story returns us back to the fun days of adventuring with the Companions. There is a sense of optimism and hope that had been missing throughout the Neverwinter Saga that is very evident in Night of the Hunter. Everything is not perfect and peachy keen for the group, and there is definitely doubts within the minds of the Companions. They are both the same people and very new characters. Their lives were different this time around, and that has changed them. They have some different views on the world and their place in it. Bob gives us a glimpse into their minds so that we can get to know these old friends once again. It is going to be fascinating to watch how these differences play out within the group of friends. I love that Bruenor calls Cat and Wulfgar his kids, even though they are all the same age now.
The Sundering is still in play for the characters. It is in the background, but does appear to impacting what Drizzt and his friends are getting wrapped in. There is an excitement in the air around the characters and for the reader. Changes are afoot in Toril, and everyone is vying for a piece of the pie, including Lolth and the Matron Mother of Menzoberranzan. Yes, the drow are again in play in Drizzt life.
