Evil Eye : A Ravenloft Adventure Book

I enjoyed this book for what it's worth. Liriel is a great character, and it was really nice to read a fantasy book with a strong female protagonist. This book really bothered me though. I don't like the idea of there being many drow who are not evil, or that there a many drow that live on the surface. Nisstyre's Vaehrun community didn't bother me as much as the Elistraee group. The whole point of the drow is that they are evil and conniving. It undermines that if there's a whole group of them out there helping people, acting as a force for good. It makes Drizzt less unique, and it changes the overall feel of the drow. I know there is variety in any and every race, but the idea in the realms is that humans have wide variety, while the other races are much more homogeneous. The first part of the book, that takes place in Menzoberranzan, is much more interesting that the latter parts on the surface. The interaction between Liriel and Fyodor is the one redeeming quality of the surface section.[return] [return]And what kind of name is Fyodor?!? Is he going to return to Rashemen to sell travel books about the realms? It just makes me think of those travel guide books we used to have.
