Okay months ago I got Icewind Dale Trilogy for Christmas. I finished reading it and I was eager to buy the next book of the series. I didn't know what order so I bought Servant of the Shard. (Big mistake I got spoiled quite a bit.) Now below might contain some spoilers I suggest you read no further if you haven't read The Silent Blade.
Okay next book is Spine of the World. Problem is I don't have enough money BUT. Does the book mention what happens to Jarlaxe and Artemis? I am thinking Spine of the World is all about Wulfgar about his demons and stuff and no snap about Artemis and Jarlaxe. If my guess is right would it be alright to read Servant of the Shard first then Spine of the World?

Servant of the Shard takes place after Spine of the world, is all about Wulfgar, and is probably R.A. Salvatore's worst forgotten Realms novel, the Silent blade is the one that takes place first, a chronological listing can be found here (chronological in order of writing, as the dark elf trilogy takes place before the icewind dale trilogy)
it also has the customary comments by Drizzt about life in general. {edit}you can read servant of the shard without missing anything that happens in Spine of the World, but Spine has alot of relevance to Sea of Swords{/edit} [ 07-18-2003, 10:25 AM: Message edited by: Morgeruat ]

Thanks I wasn't planning to miss out on Spine of the World at all.

Mayhap contains Silent Blade Spoiler
/ / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / In Servant of the Shard would Morik be mentioned. Late in the Silent Blade he was assighned by one of the drow to keep an eye on Wulfgar. There was mention of him on page 32. ARE YOU sure that I wouldn't miss a THING from Spine of the World?

He's a major character in Spine of the World, but recieves only a passing mention in Servant of the Shard (basically a cameo because of another character's job function), you're not really missing anything if you don't read spine, as most of the important stuff will be rehashed in Sea of Swords, or what's relevant to Servant of the Shard.
