Summary: DROW RANGER BACK!!! BUT IS HE THE SILENT BLADE???
Review: This should keep all of our Drizzt fans on the edge of our seats. Come to find out that Catti-brie might have the duel instead of our beloved Drow Ranger. And yes I do believe this is the end of the Assassin Entreri. But I aslo believe that we will lose one of our heros. Wulf-gar plays a very interesting role with Drizzt, or should I say against Drizzt??

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Glad Salvatore is back!!!
Review: I was quite concerned when I read that R.A. Salvatore would stop writing about Drizzt. I am greatly looking forward to reading this new novel.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Drizzt is back!!
Review: I am a huge fan of R.A. Salvatore's work. his was he first fantasy novel I have ever read, and since then all I read is fantasy. I have been waiting for this book for a long time. I can't wait to read it. I have heard that it will be about Entreri, Drizzt, and the relationship between Wulfgar and Catti-brie. Somehow Drizzt and Wulfgar will fight over Catti-brie. I can't wait till this comes out.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The new Drizzt Do'Urden novel!! Can't wait!!
Review: What I have read of this book is that Assassin, Artemis Entreri plans a final battle between himself and hero of Icewind Dale, The Dark Elf known as Drizzt Do'Urden. It also will entail something happening with Wulfgar..
My opinion on the victor of the final battle : Entreri will be defeated, then, when Drizzt turns his back to leave, Entreri tries to kill him, and Wulfgar will kill Entreri.. Something like that..

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Salvatore is writing once again, with Wizards of the coast
Review: This is a story of Wulfgar. I'm not sure what the plot is, but I expect it to be great, now that TSR is gone, and he has no time limit to write the story. Wizards of the Coast saved 'Forgotten Realms.' Thank you wizards of the Coast!!!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This is a new story of Wulfgar...
Review: R.A. Salvatore is again writing with TSR. This is a tale of Wulfgar in Calimport at odds with the evil assassin Artemis Entreri.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good, but the series might be losing steam
Review: "The Silent Blade", the first book in fourth series of Drizzt the Dark Elf novels by Bob Salvatore, is essentially a continuation of the overall story that began more than ten years ago with "The Crystal Shard". All the major characters return for this novel, including Wulfgar after his return from the Abyss. While the fight scenes are still entertaining, they have started to become a bit repetitive.

As another reviewer mentioned, over the course of the previous ten novels, the characters and their mannerisms/characterizations have been fairly static. With this novel, Salvatore attempted to breathe new life into some of these characters. Wulfgar journeys on his own to fight his inner demons. Entreri sees himself for who he truly is and what the driving factor is in his life. Jarlaxle is also developed more and has become an even more sinister and deadly foe.

This book is broken into three main sections: Wulfgar's journey, the Entreri/Jarlaxle teaming, and the travels of the remaining members of the Companions of the Hall. This was obviously written in such a manner to lead into the following two novels: "Spine of the World" to further Wulfgar's story and "Servant of the Shard" to further the Jarlaxle/Entreri story.

While still a good read, it's not up to the standards set in the earlier novels, especially the first two trilogies. Maybe Salvatore thought his characters were becoming too static and in order to continue the series, changes had to be made. The first part of the book dealing with the encounter with the giants was classic Salvatore. However, the middle third of the book tended to drag a bit as the book was split into the three sections. However, the ending, while predictable, was action-packed and entertaining, even though the fight scene was essentially a rehashing of prior encounters.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I wish I could give it 6 stars.
Review: If you've enjoyed R.A. Salvatore's books of the past, prepare to be blown away.

Salvatore takes his action packed series and turns it up a notch or six. This book is just so cool. Its superbly written, both storywise, characterwise, and battle-wise. If you've found Salvatore's battles a little confusing before, fear not, this time he gets it perfect and they read super smooth. I can't stress how good this book is. Excellent job Mr.Salvatore.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Wow...this is terrible!
Review: Wulfgar (did you really think Salvatore would have one of his heroes die, you schmuck?) is in danger of becoming interesting, and its up to the "Companions of the Hall" to save him, and keep him boring. Entreri is awesome, as always, but now he is almost starting from scratch when he returns to Calimport of wherever the heck he's from. Regis is useless, its like Salvatore wants to get rid of him but can't, so he has him do something really stupid every now and then...oh and Jarlaxle is in this too, possibly my favorite character in all of literature...but, alas, all of my least favorite characters, or overall things for that matter, are also in this book: Cattie-Brie, Bruenor, and Drizzt. We have to read Drizzt's diary every now and then, where he struggles with feelings about why he is such a tool. Wulfgar has just been through hell, and the companions are basically like, "We know you suffered a lot, so we are going to stop treating you like such a jerk for a little while, OK now stop being such a moron." The whole book boils down to a (another) deul between Entreri and Drizzt, and hey! Maybe this one will actually have a definitive ending! If you want to know what happens, or rather what doesn't happen, in this horrible book, then waste your money on it. But if you've read Salvatore's other garbage and don't know what is going to happen in this one then you are crazy.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent book, a departure for RAS
Review: The title is fitting. Shows some of the insides of Artemis Entreri, and has Jarlaxle up to his usual business. Its a quality read with less plot and more character development. Some odd things happen in this book between characters. This book gets my recomendation.
