I pulled out my old hardcover of Passage to Dawn and read it again recently. I was pleasantly pleased at how much I enjoyed it (and how quickly time seemed to melt away as I read it). Being back on the Sea Sprite was like being slipping into my favorite pair of running shoes and setting out one the trail. Salvatore is a master at pulling the reader into the adventure. I felt the excitement of Drizzt and Catti-brie fighting side-by-side without some of the emotional and physical baggage of more recent annuals. I jeered Errtu in his infatuation with causing pain to the drow hero and his friends. I laughed at the antics of Harkle Hapell, Ivan, and the doo-dad Pikel. And, I smiled at seeing other old friends such as Danica, Cadderly, Stumpet, Bruenor, Regis, Wulfgar, and, of course, Guenhwyvar. Of all the books in the series, this one always felt like a class reunion more than a new adventure. However, like any class reunion, it's hard to walk away without renewing old friendships, reminiscing on past adventures, and marveling at how far you've come since the old days. Salvatore has definitely come far.
