As a matter of fact, the "w" is not silent. It should be pronounced just like it's spelled.
Anyway, does anyone have a review of "Two Swords?"

Y'know, I know a guy named Nic Bumpus.
Sorry I can't help you. I might read it if my library gets a copy.

It's next on my list after The Lone Drow or whatever book two is called.

Normally I would burned through my copy by now but life keeps getting in the way of me even starting.

That's similar to my situation. I got my copy on Monday, and normally I would have finished it already, but the last few days have been so hectic and exhausting at work that when I get home I don't feel much like reading, so I'm only about a third of the way through.John Crichton said:

Just finished reading it.
If you're a fan of the series and the character, you'll enjoy it.
For me, I found everything but the ending fairly good.
The writer still has some problems in putting characters into situations they simply cannot win and then pulling them out via the apperance of another character.
The ending though is a complete cop out and leads to the next series. Nothing is resolved and the burning issues that Drizzt had with the orc leader seem to vanish after he fights one to a draw in one last battle instead of it being the emergency it was earlier.
Better than the second book but not by much and worse than the first book.

I agree with Joe. It's fairly good. I actually quite liked the interludes where Drizzt talks about what it means to be an elf. Gives an interesting perspective for those "Why haven't the elves taken over the world with 40th-lvl wizards??" threads.
It's main problem is that it's set in a gaming world and thus the major threat is not resolved as in a normal novel or series. Instead it's kind of a setup for a change in the gaming world.
It's actually interesting, because normally I'd dislike gaming novels that set up a world-changing event and then resolve it, because it doesn't allow PCs to really deal with the event. This novel sets up the event, but doesn't resolve it, leaving lots of room for players in games to have their own chance at fixing things. These events strengthen the gaming world, but do so at the expense of the novel.
