[[ I received the Advanced Reader Copy (ARC) of the next Drizzt book, Glacier’s Edge. As has become customary, I’m sharing a preview of the book and will answer questions about it after I finish reading it.Like usual, I did a keyword search for various character names to get an idea of how much of a part they play. First, sadly, it doesn’t look like it’s much of an Artemis book:On the plus side, it is very much a Jarlaxle book:As a comparison, searching for “Drizzt” yielded less results than Jarlaxle, however not significantly less, so it looks like Glacier’s Edge splits the spotlight between Drizzt and Jarlaxle:Since it seems likely that the rest of the traveling crew would be, like Artemis, stuck on ice for much of the time, I searched for both Zak and Catti to see how much they appear compared to Artemis:Sadly, it looks like Artemis gets the short end of the stick. Although annoying, I can’t say that it’s terribly surprising that Catti-brie manages to appear the most despite being in the same predicament as the one who appears the least.I did a quick skim through of all the Artemis mentions, and unfortunately, it doesn’t look too promising. More of the same forced out of character behavior, little to no chemistry with Jarlaxle or anyone else for that matter, and in fact quite a bit of “NO HOMO” statements in the text whenever his closeness with Jarlaxle is mentioned.That’s it for now. One other point of interest: Dinin, now known as Dininae, has more mentions than any of the frozen crew, as well as having character introspection, so he might be the only hope for any semblance of character development in this book. ]] -- source link
