Summary: The Drow rule supreme!
Review: If you are at all familiar with fantasy, you've probably heard of the Drow at least once. This is the author that created them, and these are the books where he first delved deep into their madly evil nature. It is something like this that every fantasy lover craves: a masterwork of world-building and the imagination, with horrifying enemies and inspiring heroes. Those familiar with the Icewind Dale trilogy will catch a glimpse of how Drizzt- that most loved of Forgotten Realms characters- met his dear friends Bruenor and Catti-Brie. You'll also witness his amazing journeys through the treacherous Underdark, starting with his origin in the horrifying- yet horrifyingly curious- Drow city of Menzoberranzan. This is an epic adventure that you will surely not want to miss.As for the edition itself, it is well priced and put together. The only problem I noticed- and it may have been rectified in newer editions- is the poor scaling of the map of Menzoberranzan. By contrast, the publisher royally messed up the Icewind Dale single-volume collector's edition. If you were put off by how many type transliteration bugs that one had, rest assured they aren't in this printing. For those who have not picked up any of these books before, I recommend this edition. Just make sure you have a very long stretch of free time, because you're not going to be able to stop once you start.

Summary: Try Salvatore on for size.
Review: For those of you who like to get lost in your own world, try getting lost in R.A. Salvatore's. This series is most enthralling set of books I have ever read in my life. I was drawn into this series within the first 2 pages. "Bob" creates a world so thick that you can wrap it around you like a thick blanket as you follow Drizzt through his early life in the city of the Drow. You learn the intrigue and cruelty of the Drow and the constant fight for supremacy. Like a stone in a river, you see how life with the drow with shape this young hero. This series is written marvelously by R.A. Salvatore. If you love fantasy novels or would like to start reading them, this set of books is a great foundation to a wonderful, yet dark, world.

Summary: Settled for life
Review: What a great book! I was totally surprised by this book and got it by chance. It's one of the books out of the Forgotten Realm series. Although I haven't read anything out of this series or played the RPG, I really liked it. It tells the story of Drizzt Do'Urden, a Dark Elf, who starts to despise his race and strives to better himself. Salvatore writes a stunning and extremely exciting three books about it. According to the bookcover I have the Collector's Edition, which is nice because I wasn't collecting. Still it is a great deal because now I have three books for the price of 1.4 books. For a dutch guy like myself that's too good to pass on. And that is not the only good thing about this. If the other books in the Forgotten Realm series are as good as this one I am settled for life. I never have to think about what to buy again...

Summary: Excellent
Review: R.A. Salvator is probably one of the best writers in modern Fantasy. His ability to keep you turning pages until the wee hours of the morning is amazing. He is one of my favorite authors, and I cannot wait to read the next book in the series!

Summary: Interesting Anti-Hero
Review: The trials of Drizzt are interesting not just from a typical fantasy-fiction perspective but also from a social perspective, and how he is outcast by both his homeland, and the strangers who meet him.

Summary: This trilogy stands the test of time.
Review: Perhaps it is just my personal fascination with drow society, but I think this is the best of the many trilogies Salvatore has penned. He goes into great and fascinating detail on life in the Underdark, but you never become bored with the exposition. It is cleverly tied in with the lifestory of Drizzt Do'Urden, a hero that one quickly becomes extremely sympathetic with. The character of Drizzt is appealing for a number of reasons. Many people will relate to him because Drizzt does not fit into his society. But this is because his innate goodness goes against the nature of most drow. The first book details his upbringing as a noble in Menzoberranzan, where he excels at fighting, but fails to understand the cruel nature of the world around him. In the second book, he is forced to leave the city and ranges the Underdark, finding some friends along the way. Finally, on the surface world, he is outcast as well - because of racial stereotyping. I would actually recommend that people read this volume first, before Salvatore's first series ("The Crystal Shard", "Streams of Silver", etc). It is a great prequel to that series, and I personally think it's superior storytelling. Not that all of Salvatore's work isn't exciting, riveting stuff - this is just the best. I read these books when I was 17, and I thought they were fantastic. It is now 8 years later, and I still enjoyed them. One great thing about this package is that you can sit down and read it cover-to-cover without carrying around 3 books. I had originally bought this set in order to have a complete copy for my future children, but decided to refresh my memory. It was delightful, and inside of a week, reading every night, at lunch, and at the breakfast table, I had finished the trilogy. It was so good that I didn't want to do anything else.

Summary: The best he has come out with!!!!
Review: I think this is the best set of books to own if you have a intrest in the Dark elves or whatD&D players call them Drow.
When I read these books it helped me get a better view on how to play my character, because I Idealise Drizzt Do'Urden and with the books help it made my character Beter then he used to be so if I could I would Tank R.A Salvatore for making these books. Over all these bokks are awsome to own!!!
