[QUOTE="Pants, post: 2491872, member: 8849"] Salvatore's books are hit or miss for me. The Icewind Dale books are really mediocre, but if all you want are some tough characters bashing their way through some puply action scenes, then you might like it. [i]Streams of Silver[/i], the 2nd Icewind Dale book, is probably my least favorite Drizzt book by a long shot. Not only is it a really big LotR ripoff, but it's just kinda... boring. The only good thing to come from that book was Artemis. :) The other two are okay, with [i]The Halfling's Gem[/i] being the better one. The Dark Elf Trilogy is great, especially when you consider that it was one of the first books to explore Drow culture. It's not angsty at all and it features some great characters. The Legacy, well... I really enjoyed the Legacy, although the last two books were kinda weak. Still good, but they start the slow downhill degredation of quality. The other Drizzt books are very uneven. I really, really liked [i]Servant of the Shard[/i] and I thought that [i]Spine of the World[/i] was a nice change of pace, but [i]Sea of Swords[/i] sucked and [i]The Silent Blade[/i] was either really boring or really good. [i]The Thousand Orcs[/i] was pretty underwhelming. I still haven't read the other two. [/QUOTE]
