Summary: No More Mindless Evil Beings
Review: Salvator comes back hot with this one! Have you gotten tried of the old, boring "I'm a mad guy with no personality" villains? Entreri, an intriguing nemesis, has made his comeback. He has the driven desire to beat Drizzt, our favorite violet-eyed dark elf, and Salvatore shows amazing insight into the workings of Entreri's partially twisted view of the world. The ultimate plot of revenge added to a deadly, driven assassin, and a good dark elf all make for a satisfying plot that is sure to go one day even though it's long enough to make you feel good about reading it. Fear for your life, sob into your pillow, and laugh your head off. Have fun with your life and death struggle - I know I did.

Summary: interesting and intriguing, BUT...
Review: this is a very intriguing book; very very interesting. Especially from Entreri's plot: his return to Calimport! This is the kind of book which makes you want to read straightly. My only complain in this book, is that the climax seemed to be unpolished, and done hurridely, not that it is, it just seem like it! Especially the final confrontation seems all too fast and reckless for Drizzt.

Summary: Excellent! Bravo!!
Review: I'm new to RA Salvatore's books, and was given the first two Paths of Darkness books as a gift. For 2 years I put off reading them, then finally started The Silent Blade. I read the entire book in one day, it was that good! I immediately started to work on the second book, finished that in short order, and went out immediately to buy the latest, The Sea of Swords. I did not get into Entreri's character as much as I did those of the Companions of the Hall, so I skipped the third book in the series. I found Salvatore's writing style easy, comfortable and very intriguing. He wraps you up in the story and characters with seemingly little effort. There's no fluff in this book, it's all relevent, superb story-telling.

Summary: MORE ARTEMIS!
Review: I loved the book but not because of the good guy. Artemis was the star. If Salvatore is reading this.... PLEASE WRITE A BOOK ABOUT ARTEMIS ONLY! About his past. Things he learned. Oh yeah, I especially liked the fight between Artemis and the other assassin in the street.

Summary: The final battle
Review: The epic war between Artemis Enteri and Drizzt Do' Urden comes to a startling climax at the end of this excellent novel. The two contestants have battled in caverns, on mountain tops, in the sewers of Calimport, and finally in the Crystal Tower. Easily one of the best fight scenes ever writen.

Summary: Another great book from R.A. Salvatore
Review: The books pick up where Passage to Dawn left off. All of them are reunited together, but after a while in the book one of them decides to leave, Wulfgar. Wulfgar is one of the main characters in the book. He is internally plagued with the memories of the six years of torment he felt at the hands of Errtu. These memories cause him to hallucinate and thus cause him big problems. He finds relief in intoxication. He becomes a bouncer at a tevern in Luskan. The other main person in the book is Entreri. He comes back to Calimport at first to simply live in peace at his former home. But that was not the case, with nearly every guild having their eyes on him all the time. A particular mage would have killed him hadn't Jarlaxle came to his rescue. The rest of the book is basically about how Entreri (with the support of Jarlaxle) reclaims Calimport and Drizzt and the rest of them trying to get rid of the accursed Crystal Shard.

Summary: Drizzt and friends still going strong!
Review: R.A. Salvatore is a very talented and accomplished writer. I have enjoyed most of his books, espeacially the books with our favorite goodly drow fighter, Drizzt. This books brings to play the falling of Wulfgar, the powerful assassin Artemis. And of course Drizzt, Bruener, Cattie-brie, and others. It was a very good read, with a lot of action, and suspense. I picked up the book and i could hardly put it down until i had finished it. I highly recommend this book. Buy it, Read it, Love it.

Summary: Fascinating and Fabulous
Review: This book concentrated on Wulfgar much more than the other characters, but it was a necessary glimpse of the turmoil this character was going through. All in all, a fantastic book.

Summary: Somewhere between 2.5 and 3 stars
Review: Publisher Weekly once said about this book that it's "Salvatore at his best" No way. "Streams of Silver" is his best. This book...I don't know, there was something missing. We had everyone you know? Regis, Drizzt, Bruneor, Catti-brie, Artemis, Jarlaxle, Wulfgar, etc. So why is it so mediocre? Well, for starters, it was too slow. That chapter with Wulfgar and Drizzt fighting giants? 31 pages. Also, Drizzt is not questionable and not finding more about him. Also, the Artemis in Calimport was a pain to read. Personally, that was of little importance and should've been put in another book. 10 new charecters in one place, 8 of them die. Also, the endless talk of Regis's love of food. Somewhere i'm screaming CHARECTER DEVOLPMENT. The only thing from saving it was the giant battle at the end. But then Drizzt fakes a death. Why is our hereos invincible? None of the Drizzt gang has REALLY died. Just, near fatal wounding. And let's not forget the battles. It seems now that they can take whole armies. But the greatest thing about this book was Wulfgar. That saved the book from disaster. I loved hearing about Wulfgar and his leaving the group. I feel sorry for him. I'll be glad to hear more from him in the next book. For now, however, this is parring with Legacy.

Summary: The Silent Blade is just Drizzt-- great!
Review: I've read all of Salvatore's Drizzt books, and I think that this one, by far, is my favorite. Of course, they're all good... But Silent Blade pulls together all my favorite characters. Artemis Entreri returns for yet another battle with the famed drow ranger, which proves to be most interesting. Our drow mercenary friends appear, with interesting bits of their own. Oh how amusing the lieutenents are! And, of course, Bruenor brings his own amusing self into the story as only the surly dwarf can do. Regis has a few good scrapes, but he's as fun as he's always been. Cat and Wulfgar have their own scores to settle, but it all turns out well in the end... for the most part... Like all Salvatore's books, you never want to put it down. But sleep finds you eventually, in which you dream about the heros... Silent Blade is energetic and fast-paced (but well) and pulls together just about everything we've read in all Salvatore's previous books! I had the most fun reading this book. But, of course, nothing made me laugh harder than Thibbledorf Pwent and Harkle in the Time of Troubles, but I would still rate Silent Blade as the best book to date. And I do hope the books he writes after this one will be just as enticing.
