Obould, the new Entreri?
It has been debated in the RAS forums if the Chosen of Gruumsh is really the new nemesis of Drizzt. Has the Orc replaced the tension the assassin gave to previous books? Please write your thoughts about this.

Don't say that! Never again!
No but wake up, he is not going to replace Entreri! He misses the stature, he misses the class, he misses the charisma, he misses the charm...
Some common sense: it is an orc! An ugliness, a monster! Drizzt needs a Nemesis who looks like him at least; the role of this one is to send back to him a reflection in a mirror, what he could have become, his dark side, all his defects carried in one inaccessible highlight. The "villain" looks like him a lot in fact... Do you find some kind of resemblance between Obould and Drizzt?
Maybe Obould could be a good villain, but certainly not one like Entreri. Yes, I admit, I'm a stubborn fangirl, but the tension who existed between Drizzt and Artemis was so perfect, hard, deep and harsh... The drow won't obtain such a perfection, he can't do that with an orc... Just because he would have killed Innovindil's companion.
That's why I hope Entreri will find Drizzt again, and that the fight will continue. The world's balance works like that.

Dead as dead can be
My doctor tells me
But I just can't believe him
Ever the optimistic one
I'm sure of your ability
To become my perfect enemy
Wake up and face me
Don't play dead 'cause maybe
Someday I will walk away and say
You disappoint me
Maybe you're better off this way
Leaning over you here
Cold and catatonic
I catch a brief reflection
Of what you could and might have been
It's your aim and your ability
To become my perfect enemy
Wake up
(Why can’t you?)
And face me
(Come on now)
Don't play dead
(Don’t play dead)
'Cause maybe
(Because maybe)
Someday
(Someday)
I’ll walk away and say
You disappoint me
Maybe you're better off this way
Go ahead and play dead
(GO!)
I know that you can hear this
(GO!)
Go ahead and play dead
(GO!)
Why can't you turn and face me?
(WAKE UP!)
Why can't you turn against me?
(WAKE UP!)
Why can't you turn against me?
(WAKE UP!)
Why can't you turn against me?
(GO!)
You fucking disappoint me
