Relentless: A Drizzi Novel book 3 of 3 by R.A. Salvatore (book review).
Effectively wrapping up the saga that started with ‘The Crystal Shard’ more than thirty years ago, ‘Relentless’ may be marketed as ‘a Drizzt novel’ but it is both more than that and less. More, in the sense that it is told on an epic scale, with battles on all fronts and a final revelation that […]
Archmage (Homecoming Book 1) by R.A. Salvatore (book review).
‘Drizzt returns to the Underdark!’ ‘Archmage’ numbers twenty-eighth in ‘The Legend Of Drizzt’. As always, I’ll preface my review with the caveat that you will get more out of these later books if you’ve read those that came before. At this point in the saga, a lot of foreknowledge of the world and the characters […]
Vengeance Of The Iron Dwarf (Companions Codex book 3) by R.A. Salvatore (book review).
There are nearly thirty books in the ‘Legend Of Drizzt’ series and a number of side ventures. When you get this far into a series, spoilers are inevitable. So if you’re not familiar with the ‘Legend’ series, much of the content of ‘Vengeance Of The Iron Dwarf’ will confound, and perhaps ruin you for everything […]
Rise Of The King (The Companion Codex II, The Legend of Drizzt #26) by R.A. Salvatore (book review).
Harking back to the ‘Transitions Trilogy’, ‘Rise Of The King’ tests the resolve of all who were involved in the Treaty of Garumn’s Gorge, which established peace between the citizens of the Marches and Kingdom of Many Arrows. Instrumental in the treaty, dwarven King Bruenor Battlehammer questioned his decision until the day he died. Reborn […]
Night Of The Hunter: Companions Codex book 1 by R. A. Salvatore (book review).
‘Night Of The Hunter’ is the first book of the ‘Companions Codex’ and book twenty-five in the legend of one of the most enduring heroes of the Forgotten Realms, Drizzt Do’Urden. In cracking open the cover, there is the weight of more than twenty-four previous books looking over the reader’s shoulder. The legend of Drizzt […]
DemonWars: First Heroes (Saga Of The First King) by R.A. Salvatore (book review).
I never doubted R.A. Salvatore’s talent; despite my love of Drizzt, I’d not have made it through twenty-four books (so far!) chronicling his legend if Salvatore had no skill with words. If he could not tell a story, the story, in the way it needed to be told, deftly and surely, his words always underlying […]
The Companions: The Sundering (book 1) (The Legend of Drizzt, Book XXIV) by R.A. Salvatore (book review).
‘The Companions’ by R.A. Salvatore is the first book in a new series from ‘Forgotten Realms’ called ‘The Sundering’. Each book is penned by a different author and will explore the events of the Sundering from various points of view. Salvatore’s entry continues the story of Drizzt Do’Urden and the title is a call to […]
