review 1: I had not read any Drizzt books for years before receiving this as a gift, so the first couple of chapters were bewildering: everyone's dead? And now they're getting reincarnated? But once I got past that, I enjoyed the adventures of Regis, Bruenor, and Catti-brie as they grew up...

review 1: Very enjoyable selection of stories. I really need to get around to reading the rest of Salvatore's stuff. I quite enjoyed the thematic elements. These stories could have been found in any set of mythology or war stories. I quite enjoyed the telling of them as well. The only ...

review 1: More like 3.5 Stars. While I thoroughly enjoyed this book, it felt inconsistent. There was lots of time spent with the drow and their politics, which was well written and interesting. Unfortunately, I felt the parts with the heroes of the book to be kind of boring, rushed and an ...

review 1: I received this free from audible and all I can say is I'm quite glad I didn't spend any money on it.It's been a very long time since I read any D&D books, which might explain some of my lack of interest in this one. The short stories included feel like they are really intended t...

review 1: It's been a long time since I last read R. A. Salvatore. I vaguely remembered his work as pedestrian but sometimes fun.The stories in this book didn't live up to that memory. The prose was extremely purple. The dialog was stilted and very few characters had a recognizable manner ...

review 1: This is a collection of fantasy stories set in a world based on the Forgotten Realms Dungeons & Dragons setting. I got this audiobook for free from Audible in celebration of 40 years of D&D.Each story was read by a relatively famous actor or internet celebrity. Most notably is Ic...

review 1: This is the Salvatore I love.This book brought me back to greatness of his old books. I was torn when he brought back the Companions of the Hall. I was unsure if I wanted to see some of their stories continue, but he has done a great job keeping interest in these characters we ...

review 1: It was hard reading The Transitions Saga and the Neverwiter Saga because of the fact that Drizzt was going to outlive all of the Companions of the Hall. The story in this book made me so happy and excited. Salvatore is in my opinion one of the best writers of all time. The descri...

review 1: In the Stowaway, Drizzit takes a backseat to being the lead character for a new hero named Miamum. Co-written with his son, Geno Salvatore, a new adventure is launched in the middle of Drizzit's own epic tale. While very short, the book does itself justice by keeping everything f...

review 1: Entertaining story and perhaps I unfairly judge the Highwayman to Drizzt. On its own merits, this book started pretty slow, but then it picked up nicely in the middle. At that point I could not put it down. This is a third in series, so I have not read the previous two volumes. I...

review 1: I feel that the author is building up something big for our drow hero, but from time to time I do feel pissed seeing Drizzt spiral down to reckless abandon. It makes me doubt whether he'll actually survive the loneliness that he is wallowing into right now. Mielikki better have ...

review 1: I'm going to go right ahead and say it.Salvatore did not write this book.At least, not in it's entirety.And what evidence do I have? Well, I've read every single one of his books about the Companions. I've read The Cleric Quintet, The Crimson Shadow, and The Demon Wars Series.The...

review 1: This book did not bring me in and give me the strong feel of companionship I have experienced in other Drizzt books. I felt that Drizzt was too whiny, comparing everything and everyone to someone he knew in the past. Perhaps that is a problem with a very long lived tribe, but Dri...

review 1: salvatore, how the hell does he do it.. he can keep me on the edge of my seat with every one of his books in the long and seemingly never-ending drizzt saga. again we are left with so many possibilities. (spoiler alert from now on) the relationship to dahlia had been doomed and t...
