Summary: They keep getting better
Review: I know that from time to time Bob Salvatore himself comes here to read reviews. So I must say to him: BOB! Write an Assasin Trilogy! Or even a single book. Entreri is so damn cool and I'd love to know his origins. At any rate, Silent Blade rocked. Keep up the good work.

Summary: R. A. Salvatore is the champ.
Review: Silent Blade was a great book. Extremely detailed (as always) and long, which is excellent. Salvatore always presents us with constant action, detailed battles and the characters we love. Drizzt, Wulfgar, Cattibre, Regis and the unforgettable Bruenor Battlehammer are the perfect characters. They provide us with laughter and constant fingernail-biting. I am sure Salvatore will be pressed to write stories about them for the rest of his life. Silent Blade is what I wanted. Jarlaxle, Cadderly, and Entreri. What more could you want? The Crystal Shard was a pleasant surprise, also.My only beef is Wulfgar. He has got to get him back on track. Everything else was signature Salvatore. I loved it.

Summary: Not quite what I expected
Review: At first I couldn't put the book down. I could feel the different plots intertwining and thickening. Around page 300 I felt as if the book would never end(which I wouldn't mind.) As always I appreciate the extremely detailed battles and the focus on many different characters. I felt the ending was somewhat odd and dissapointing, that Drizzt would so easily forgive and even thank Jarlaxle. I missed the adventures of Drizzt and co. but I'm definetly looking forward to the next one and I hope that the saga never dies.

Summary: The best of the series
Review: Some have said it got repetitive, it brought nothing new, etc. Indeed, the enemies were quite the same, but the people who said that failed to realise what truly makes it new: the depth and development of the characters. Nothing new, my bottom. Entreri was just full of surprises, so was Jarlaxle. How I missed those two, and finally, they're back... and they assume the biggest roles too it seems. Entreri is my favorite character of the series, and one of my favorite at all, with Jarlaxle quite close behind. They're real "badass". =D Drizzt was cooler than the previous books (Icewind Dale trilogy excluded), IMO. He finally admitted his jealousy and the fact that peaceful times, however fine, can get boring. As someone else said, it's fun to see the villains have their own values and aren't the big bad evil dudes, and the heroes have faults, they're not just the almighty pure-of-hear-and-soul heroes. *That* is the refreshing, new part. It was the longest book of the series (490 pages/paperback!) and by far the best. The ending was extremely satisfying, and very unpredictable. I'll be glad to get Spine of the World, but why, why the hardcover again?? It's so expensive, and I had to wait long for the paperback version of Silent Blade already... Not everyone has a big budget, y'know... In any case, I strongly recommand this book for any fan of the series. Passage to Dawn was *somewhat* of a let-down, but this one truly brings back the feel.

Summary: The Book Is Just AMAZING
Review: The book was abosolutly a must read for anyone who likes fantasy and or sci-fi books RA Salvatore lives up to his usual amazing style of writing books.If you have read other Drizzt books you cannot not read this one!

Summary: Another work of art
Review: Salvatore has done it again. Drizzt is by far my favorite character in FR and the words of Salvatore pull me into that world, almost as if I am a companion of the hall. Can't describe enough how I love the intense battles Drizzt and Entreri have had and how Salvatore beautifully writes them. A great read for anyone who loves fantasy. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to read the Icewind Dale trilogy again! :)

Summary: We know Bob can do better.
Review: It seemed to me that R.A. Salvatore ran out of a storyline for Drizzt in this book and had to reuse some of his old storylines. Maybe even a great character has his limit as a the subject of a good novel? I think that an entirely new and challanging storyline would have been a better fit for a dynamic character like Drizzt or maybe Bob's literary talent would have been better used writing a side novel about one of the other characters? I am pleased that Bob does not confine his talent exclusively to Drizzt books. Maybe its time to end his saga?

Summary: Inspiration and more.
Review: Ever since I started to read the Drizzt books, I was hooked. The Silent Blade was the best yet and whenever Entreri is around, you know your in for excitement. I really hope these books never stop and I cant wait for the next one. Now, in the process of reading the Clerical Quintet, I can't stop to read the Spine of the World, but I'll still be the first to buy it. Keep up the great work Mr. Salvatore and I do hope to meet you sometime.

Summary: Some of Salvatore's best work yet
Review: Although I hope this is Drizzt's final clash with Entreri, I thought the final duel was great (and you should have seen me lean forward in my chair when I thought Drizzt was dead!) The book added a more human dimension to Entreri, who before The Silent Blade I sometimes struggled to see as human. And the Shard... while old... it is now in the hands of JARLAXLE... after all who better to have the shard than Jarlaxle? He knows exactly how he will profit from every situation and cannot be fooled... think of what havoc he can wreak in Menzoberranzan with the Shard! While I am looking forward to MANY more Drizzt books, I am hoping to hear more about Bregan Da'earthe... One last thing... despite what others say, NEVER give up Drizzt's emphasis on what is right. Drizzt has become my moral hero, next to Jesus Christ... his principles have become a guide for myu life. THE SILENT BLADE WAS GREAT AND I CANNOT WAIT TO READ SPINE OF THE WORLD
