Reception

On March 26, 1991 Sojourn debuted at 13 of The New York Times bestseller list.[1] Ian Strelec awarded the final book of the trilogy, Sojourn with a B+ rating. He stated he found the book short and although not incredible, it was an important component of the Drizzt mythos.[2]

According to PopMatters' Andrew Welsh, Drizzt is Salvatore's attempt to create a multifaceted character who faces internal struggles, in hopes of standing out from the drow, and fantasy fiction in general. Welsh feels that Salvatore fails in this regard, saying "any blood Drizzt finds on his hands is quickly justified and most “internal” conflict is superficial at best."[3]

The trade paperback Sojourn, volume 3 of the Dark Elf Trilogy ranked 19 in the August 2006 Graphic Novels sales with an estimated sale quantity of 3,465.[4]
