I enjoyed learning more about Drizzt and the Forgotten Realms, but it is very uncomfortable to have characters calling Drizzt a "black devil", especially when the character is trying to whip up lynch mobs against Drizzt. In universe the hatred of the Drow makes sense, but this book heavily implies that the only black people in Faerûn are Drow. (A character mentioned that as soon as he saw Drizzt's arms he knew he was a Drow.) The racism themes here are about as well thought out as Zootopia's oppressed being literal predators.
