Reddit mentions of The Dark Elf Trilogy: Collector's Edition (Homeland / Exile / Sojourn)

Interesting! I am reading something similar: The Discernment of Spirits: An Ignatian Guide for Everyday Living by Fr. Gallagher. I am also reading Fire Within by Thomas Dubay.

...and The Dark Elf Trilogy because it was recommended by a friend and given to me for free on the Kindle. I am on the third book of the trilogy now and hope to finish it within the week so I can move on to another fiction series.

You can find physical copies of most older books on amazon for like $4.

Half price books, abebooks, thrift stores and shopping around for ebooks are all also options.

If you are looking for specific books there are some pretty reasonably priced compilations out there.

The Belgariad volumes one and two can be gotten for around $14.

All ten volumes of The Chronicles of Amber can be purchased for about $12.

All three volumes of the Dark Elf Trilogy can be purchased for around $12.

If you look around there are some pretty great deals out there.

no Dark Elf trilogy?

Lately I've been ruminating on the Dark Elf Trilogy. I read it years ago, but I liked it a lot. If I recall, I once saw u/mistborn at The Dragon's Keep, and he liked that trilogy too.

I hope sci-fi is okay. Most of the time it's fantasy set in a different era.

• The Martian
  
  
• Existence
  

The Dark Elf Trilogy, It's rather dark overall, but the story sucks you in like few others and the ending to the third book is so awesome I feel that this qualifies.

Oh man, he absolutely looks like a Rocko.

Or maybe a Ted?

good luck naming him though! Beautiful animal.

I would definitely read this to my dog, she's spoiled and needs to be tucked in for bed.

But this is just for me.

RA Salvatore -- the Dark Elf Trilogy

Excellent stories, wonderful protagonist and fantastic writing

Just looking around a bit, I found these three possible novels:

• [Metro 2033] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metro_2033_(novel)
  
  
• [Dark Universe] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Universe_(novel)
  
  
• [The Dark Elf Trilogy] (http://www.amazon.com/The-Dark-Elf-Trilogy-Collectors/dp/0786915889)
  
  Although, all of these have differences to what you described.

  These are in a similar vein, but are missing important details, so I doubt they're what you're looking for. Figured I'd mention them anyway:
  
  
• The Deltora Quest Series by Emily Rodda. Medieval-like society but a focus on magic, trio of heroes (one female, possible princess), darkness spreading (sometimes in a cloudy form). Missing: Definitely not as old as the one you're thinking of, underground cities/kingdoms/lands are present, but are not an integral part of the plot (other than the second series).
  
  

• The Kingdom Hearts (Video Game) Series. Medieval-like society, but a focus on magic, trio of heroes (one female), darkness spreading (known as "The Heartless"). Missing: Once again, not as old as what you're thinking of, lack of underground city main-plot, and perhaps the most important factor - it's not a novel.
  

  
  

  I've probably not been much help, but hope you got something useful/enjoyable out of this!

I'd been having some problems getting into reading in elementary school. It's not that I couldn't do it, it's more that nothing I had was interesting to me. Then I found my brother's copy of Homeland by R.A. Salvatore. It was the first book in a three book series. I read the entire series in three days. I did nothing but read for three days. I wasn't hungry, I wasn't tired, all I wanted was to read. There were times I wasn't consciously aware of what I was reading. . . but the narrative formed in my mind none the less. It was fantastic.

His Drizzt books are the most famous. But...the writing in the beginning of the series....is not near as good as the later books.

So it depends on how much time you have. I'd say you could start here:
http://www.amazon.com/Trilogy-Collectors-Homeland-Exile-Sojourn/dp/0786915889

Its a good balance of being early on in the series, easy to read, and not terrible writing.

No problem. I suggest starting with Homeland. There is also a book with the whole trilogy in one volume. Chronologically, it's the first in The Legend of Drizzt series.

The Dark Elf Trilogy by R. A. Salvatore.

Dragonlance is good, but the Dark Elf series (Drizzt Do'Urden) is better.

Drizzt from The Dark Elf Trilogy. He is such a fascinating and lovable character, throughout his development, we find such likable, and heroic qualities. Talk about rooting for an underdog.

I'll give you a link to the Amazon page: https://www.amazon.com/Dark-Elf-Trilogy-Collectors-Homeland/dp/0786915889

It does sound like a pretty amazing story. Mostly excited because it's a subterranean setting lol.
