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 love. Regis is one that has grown so much and is so enjoyable to see what he has accomplished with his second attempt at life.The one thing Salvatore has been doing of late is not ending his books well. I usually don't have a huge anticipation for the next book, but he did a great job putting story lines in a spot where you greatly anticipating the next book.If you liked his early day books, you should check out this book!
review 2: I don't often review books but after seeing so many ... morepositive reviews I have to admit I'm slightly surprised. Let it be known I adore Salvatore. I am more punctual in purchasing his books than I am with anything else. Drizzt is my favorite character. Period. But this book was just pretty good for me. I gave it four stats but could have given it three. There are moments of delightful action. Hints of fantastically nuanced schemes. Snippets of the character development that has made Drizzt so endearing. Even Jarlaxle appears to entice a reader. Yet the book never fully delivers. This is a masterful middle book of a trilogy. It entertains (it's very entertaining). It teases. But it never delivers. I have to admit mild disappointment. It builds and builds but never delivers. That said. The next book promises to be superb and I eagerly await it's release. To summarize: it's a good book filled with staples of Salvatore's works, but it never comes to it's climax. It seems to only act as a base for the next book, which should be excellent. less
