Thank you!

I'm in a rare slump of not knowing what to read. I've been meaning to dig in to forgotten realms for a while, and wanted to start out with Drizt, but heard mixed things.

This is wonderful, thanks!

No worries! If you didn't already see it, I wrote a fairly lengthy review of the Evans novels in response to another user a few comments down in this thread.

Regarding Drizzt, my understanding is that "mixed things" is basically right. Some of the books are very well-liked, and others are not so much. My own personal experience is only that I've tried listening to the audiobook of The Companions, the Drizzt novel which is the first of The Sundering series. But I've ended up bouncing off of it twice, just not really caring about the characters.
