R.A. Salvatore books about Drizzt and others.

Olli Kalma · 10-29-2002, 02:06 AM

I have read Forgotten realms books about Drizzt. Wroted by R.A Salvatore.
Don't know all english name for books cause I have read them on my own language (finnish).
I read Dark Elf Trilogy, Icewind Dale Trilogy, Drow's Legacy
and 3 other books, one told about Wulfgar, Other Enteri and Jarlaxe and last one Drizzt and pals finding Wulfgar and Aegis Fang.
Don't know names of those books in english.

Also I read Elaine Cunningham's Drows daughter and the seacond book of that saga.

What same type books you know?

I didn't like that Salvatore's saga about demons.
Tought it was Demon wakes up and Demon's spirit ( it's free translation )

Any ideas what should I read more?

You might try R.A. Salvatore's "The Cleric Quintet". It is about a young cleric named Cadderly, his monk friend, and two dwarves, who must fight against a great evil that is unleashed on Faerun.

The Cleric Quintet:
Book 1: Canticle
Book 2: In Sylvan Shadows
Book 3: Night Masks
Book 4: The Fallen Fortress
Book 5: The Chaos Curse

But ain't Cadderly traveled with that human men&women... men was somekind ranger that sprites has trained? That was in those demon books I told about...

Yes the Cleric Quintet was really good! Make sure you can find it all in one book if possible! (It is I have it) [img]smile.gif[/img] I don't know what you're talkin about but in the Cleric Quintet Cadderly usually travels with: Danica a monk. Pikel&Ivan the bouldershoulder brothers, and Shayleigh an elf... fighter? [img]graemlins/1ponder.gif[/img]

Well I check from our town library or somewhere for that book...
Mayby I'm just losing my mind or remembered that name wrong...
I'll check it before I talk too much...

I finished the "Sea Of Swords", and started a new books called "A Thousand Orcs" (Book one of the hunters blade trilogy), prolly not translated to Finnish yet.

"Sea of Swords" was disappointing, but "A Thousand Orcs", is really good, it features Drizzt and Co but also Ivan and Pickel and a couple of other interesting characters.

BTW you might want to have a look at www.rasalvatore.com for a complete list of Bob's work [img]graemlins/happywave.gif[/img]

I finished Sea of Swords too couple of days ago and now I reread Dark elf legacy
saga (that 4 books before Sea of Swords and end of the world... or what was it what told about Wulfgar and Morik...)

I go and see Salvatores webpage and realised that Finnish publisher has also pages where I can found some translated book...
God I was dumb!

Really? I liked it! What did you dislike about it? I'm just curious... [img]graemlins/1ponder.gif[/img]

Well I don't like that Drizzt has become allmost vulnerable...
When more books are released, Drizzt and friends has so huge different into last books that nobody can't beat them! It isn't nice to read that allways they survive no matter what they do, even it sounds like impossible!
Hope that Salvatore don't turn them into halfgods...

Well the munchkinism of the heroes as Olli said is one thing. The other is that the plot is really thin: Wulfgar looking for his friends and Aegis-Fang, the friends looking for Wulfgar and Aegis-Fang, then there are the bad guys who have the hammer. I mean anybody can predict the outcome. Only Merik and the Moon Elf looking for revenge spice the story up a little, but I consider "Sea Of Swords" to be just a thin link between the previous series and the new one (The Hunter's Blade).

A Thousand Orcs, on the other hand is great, but I don't want to spoil you.
