Rating: Summary: eh... Review: This was exellent book, but indeed it ends to nowhere! (how old Cattie-Brie is now? Almost 30? Salvatore(Robert?) dear, if Drizzt and Cattie-Brie love themselves, what's matter?) I didnt like,that wulfgar came back (it was good he went away) I really like to read next book and see what happens... but before that book will come to Finland.....so long time.... very well that, Wulfgar hit Cattie-Brie... there was nothing new...Thing cannot be the same what they were seven years ago. And Zaknafein? what happened to him? He said to Drizzt they will see again.... ? (but that was on `Passage to dawn`) And like one here said, What happened to Catties sword? ( I dont remember its name) But this book was writed well, and everyone who want to read about our exellent Drizzt, will like this. You should stay dead, Drizzt! It was good Entreri won u! And sorry, gotta go now
Rating: Summary: the bard's review Review: this book is great. i was waiting to get this book and all the waiting was worth it! there is a great plot twist and Drizzt has another 1 0n 1 battle with his arch nemises (yet again). This book was great. Plus it shows that Trolls are smarter than they look ^_^
Rating: Summary: Salvatore's at a low point Review: RA Salvatore's work was at its best when he was writing the prequel trilogy to "The Crystal Shard", the Dark Elf trilogy. Those three books are the best he's ever written. Period. The others have been pretty good, too, but ever since "Siege of Darkness", they just haven't been quite the same.Let's face it, "Passage to Dawn" was really a flop. I didn't even read all of it. Tried, really. I could already tell he was bringing Wulfgar back, much to my dismay (Wulfgar was never a very good character in my opinion). I hoped "Silent Blade" would be better. OK, it's pretty good, but still disappointing. The subplot with Crenshinibon kind of fizzled out, and the only compelling parts of the book were Entreri's thoughts and the ending duel between Drizzt and Entreri. The whole dark elves and Entreri stuff really wasn't too good. And, as I read in another review, the heroes are seeming much more stereotypical, 2-dimensional, and invincible after every book. But I'll keep reading them. :-)
Rating: Summary: Disappointing Review: Well I was really disappointed with this book. I love the characters and I was looking forward to reading about them again. But in this book they seemed comical and lacked true depth with the exception of Artemis. Although I was hoping the assassin would some how find redemption. Perhaps Salvatore is leaving that open for another series, I hope so. Overall I wouldn't recommend this book, although the fight scene between Drizzt and Artemis had a clever twist.
Rating: Summary: SILENT BLADE......Mr. Salvatore....a movie sir, a movie! Review: What can I say to help someone better understand the book....READ ALL THE OTHERS FIRST. I read SILENT BLADE, and it made me want to pick up all the others of Drizzt & Co. and read them all over again. What I am wondering is why some big time screen producer has not jumped on this yet? If I had Lucas or Spielberg's movie making prowess, I would be all over this like black on a Drow Elf! This has got STAR WARS potential all over it (not to say Mr. Salvatore should sell out) but this is great stuff. READ THIS BOOK, then buy the others and read them if you haven't. Preferably buy them first then buy this one...I read Streams of Silver before I read The Crystal Shard. Mr. Salvatore, your the greatest, keep it up....
Rating: Summary: A masterfully written novel Review: This was the first Forgotten Realms/D&D book I have ever read; I could not put it down. The characters are well-developed and the battle scenes are phenomenally written. I must also mention that Drizzt's insights into life are amazing as well. I could not put this book down, and have re-read it (which i used to do, but haven't found any novels good enough in awhile). The three-fold storyline is well-done (Artemis Enteri's journeys in Calimport; Drizzt & co.'s journeys to get rid of the Crystal Shard; Wulfgar's quest to rid himself of the haunting memories left behind by Errtu). A must-read for fantasy lovers everywhere.
Rating: Summary: Can't get enough of Drizzt... Review: At least that is if you're like me! a must read for all fans of drizzt, and even for those (albeit there are some) who haven't heard of drizzt. Salvatore out-does himself yet again, awesome fight details, awesome plot!
Rating: Summary: Official Drizzt lover Review: Salvatore outdoes himself in this excellent story about the legendary rogue drow elf, Drizzt Do'Urden and his arch enemy Artemis Entreri.The fight scenes are extraordinary as usual for Salvatore,(especially the last fight between Drizzt and Artemis).This is a must read for all R.A. Salvatore fans and fantasy lovers. Trust me, this book is sensational.
Rating: Summary: Drizzt Do'Urden and his friends together again. Review: Drizzt Do'Urden and his friends together again. They are on the quest to destroy evil artefact Crystal Shard. However adventure appears to be not such easy as it seemed at first, Crystal Shard calls to it's aid all evil beings on ways of the heroes, ... and from Underdark. Drizzt again meets the old enemies (or friends?) from Menzoberanzan. Wulfgar begins his falling. Will the horrible memoirs of his imprisonment in Abyss allow him to become that hero what he was. Artemis Entreri comes back in Calimport and is compelled to fight for his place in the city and reputation of the deadliest of assassins. He finds out, that he becomes old and ... sentimental. Entreri can not forget about Drizzit and again search for him. Who has won in the battle of two antipodes in which there can not be a winner? Drizzt or Entreri? Entreri at last finds rest, he knows, that he won this fight, he return from the battle alive and... alone. Drow try to distribute there influence in cities on the surface, they search for the allies. On my sight this book can be put in number of the best books about Drizzt Do'Urden, probably, it is the best book from this series. I still have advised to the readers to postpone all important businesses, or to make them beforehand, because it is impossible to come off the book. I recommend it to all fans of fantasy and Salvatore. There is however one remark - book is seems slightly not completed.
Rating: Summary: Drizzt's welcome return is fantastic, if somewhat hasty ! Review: Fans of the previous books (Dark Elf Trilogy, Icewind Dale Trilogy, and the four books that directly precede this one !) will no doubt be absolutely excited, and will buy this book no matter how any of these reviews are. Those who really are that eager to read this book (like I was, myself) will NOT be disappointed. Several thoughts crept up on me while I read the book, but, out of sheer eagerness, I pushed them away, since I didn't want them clouding up the tale. After finishing the book, I reflected on how wonderful the book has actually been, but those positive thoughts eventually started mingling with the thoughts I had pushed away while reading the book. One major thing, I felt, was the lack of description of many things. I generally felt that the book was something that had been written in a hurry. Not that any books the size of this one ever get written in a hurry, but compared to the three first books (which all are shorter than 'The Silent Blade', and therefore endanger me by contradicting myself.) 'The Silent Blade' felt like quantity, where as the other books felt like quality. I don't give a bad book 4 stars, but just wanted to share my un-positive feelings concerning this book ! Compared to the DemonWars Trilogy(also R.A. Salvatore), starring Elbryan Wyndon, 'The Silent Blade' seems to lack a certain freshness and originality. If it wasn't for the fact that the stars of this book were Drizzt Do'Urden & Co, I'm afraid I wouldn't have finished it. Those companions keep this book interesting, but after you read the book, try substituting the main characters with previously unknown fantasy figures, and see how you would like that ! BUY IT ! Chances are, you're not going to regret it !
