Summary: Not one of Salvatore's best.
Review: This book is a bit of a disappointment.It is very short. The plot is woefully thin and is supplemented by crossovers from almost every other major Forgotten Realms character that Salvatore has written about. The Cadderly crossover is weak & you really get the feeling that this book was to have been Salvatore's last in this particular fantasy world ... lots of loose ends are hastily tied up, and familiar characters farewelled. Having done a little research into this (confirmed by correspondence with Salvatore himself) this book almost was the last Drizzt novel. Salvatore and TSR went their separate ways after disagreements over scheduling and the fact that Salvatore wanted to write his Demon Wars trilogy for another publisher. With TSR being bought out by Wizards of the Coast - Salvatore (along with other major authors who had left TSR such as Weis & Hickman) was wooed back ... and Drizzt lives on.
(We very nearly had to endure Drizzts adventures being continued by 'Mark Anthony' who, though not a bad author, is no Salvatore). Anyway - back on the specific topic. This book, is far too contrived for my liking, and the superficial/hasty plot leaves a bad taste in your mouth. It's a very lightweight novel and is probably about the same level as Salvatore's latest Drizzt offering "Sea of Swords".

Summary: What was Salvatore thinking?
Review: I followed the Drizzt saga avidly until this book. This book, however, annoyed me to no end. Note to Salvatore: FORGONE CONCLUSIONS ARE NOT ENTERTAINING! You can't help but get the feeling throughout this entire book that Drizzt is a godlike figure, completely untouchable, and that therefore any attempt to oppose him is an exercise in futility. It doesn't help that his primary opponent in this book is a figure he soundly crushed years before. When you find yourself cheering on the villains and hoping they teach Drizzt a lesson, something just isn't right. After this book, I came to the conclusion that Drizzt was too powerful to be interesting. Weaknesses are what round out an interesting character; Drizzt has none I can see. He's quite simply untouchable in combat, and a complete saint outside of combat. Read the other Drizzt novels and skip this one.

Summary: The Gang is all here!
Review: If you are a fan of Salvador and Drizzt you will probably read this book no matter what I say. I hope you aren't as dissapointed as I was. Overall the book is good but in comparison to Salvadore's other novels it is a dissapointment.
Drizzt and Cattibrie are already so well known as characters to us that Salvadore has run out of things to say about them. We learn nothing new about Drizzt or Cattibrie, instead we are lead through and endless stream of guest appearences. Ex: "Hi, I'm Harkell Harper you may remember me from 'The Halflings Gem.'
I was especially dissappointed with the Cadderly's appearence.
As I said before you'll probably read it anyway if you are a big fan. I hope you aren't as dissapointed as I was.

Review: IF YOU ARE PLANNING ON READING "THE CLERIC QUINTET" ANYTIME IN THE FUTURE, DO NOT READ THIS BOOK OR THIS REVIEW Well, i'm not all the way done with it. BUT i wanted to warn ppl to not read it if you want to read the cleric quintet(it'll give the ending away). So far, I've loved this book! Stumpet finding the Crystal Shard was a big surprise to me. The only reason it's not getting 5 *'s, is because it had Cadderly....Since I've read the Cleric Quintet, i've hated him. I don't care if it was a test from Denier, he shouldn't have risked it! Grr...Sorry, but he really irritates me, because i can't forget what he did to Danica. Even if he is getting younger, he didn't know that. I hope he doesn't appear in any more books. Danica,Ivan, and Pikel are a diff. story! Pikel is by far my fav. character! I don't think this book is predictable, like many do. Also, i found the two wizards, that's right, 2 major magic users in the book!, refresing.

Good book, just a notch down from the others but still good.

Summary: Great novel...but not the best Salvatore
Review: Don't get me wrong, this book is an exceptional buy. It just isn't up to my expectation of R.A. Salvatore. I really did not like the books begining with Legacy, but I forced myself to continue reading them. I had faith in Bob. It began to pay off too. The books did begin to get better. This book takes place with Cat and Drizzt mostly at sea. My question was "what is a Ranger - a wilderness based character doing at sea?" Salvatore took this odd situation and put it in an entertaining aspect by having them find a lost island to fight the minions of evil. The plot twists were just as interesting, also, as the heroes were traveling to the island all on a misconception of who was after who. The reintroduction of Capt. Deudermont and the Sea Sprite was a welcome edition to the story also. The ending was ...well, Salvatore. (I'll let you find out) This is worth buying in all aspects, if you can picture a Dark Elf ranger (strange even by D&D standards) being at sea instead of in the wilderness. It is also a must to read if you are following any more books past this one. The end has a VERY important aspect of future books in it. Then again, anyone that is a avid Salvatore fan has to have this book anyway.

Summary: A comeback..but could use some effort.
Review: This is pretty much a regular ol' Drizzt novel until Part 5. Errtu still bugs the crap out of me. I'm REALLY, REALLY, glad that Artemis wasn't in this book. Anyway, there are 2 plots that fit almost perfectly in the book. 1)Drizzt and Catti-brie have been sailing the Sword Coast for 6 YEARS! When they stop at Waterdeep, their captain gets attacked by a doppleganger and gets a note for Drizzt to go to Cameyln, a supposed-to-be ghost island. When they get there, an old hag tells him that there is an old enemy who has one of his dead friends. 2)Errtu contiues his search for the Crystal shard by using Drizzt as bait to find his "dead" father. (wink wink) Anyway, I hope that you people who haven't read it will. A fun, quick book which has the RETURN OF WULFGAR! (read and find out) Reccomendded.

Summary: A great Adventure and the Return of Wulfgar
Review: I finished reading Passage to Dawn and execpt what some reviewers said the book was great I (personally) enjoyed the book. the adventures on board the Sea Sprite and with Captain Deudermont and his crew was I feel a nice change. plus the reurn of 2 characters to the series. Errtu the Demon and the return of Wulfgar.(I liked his return). this I feel was good book and worth reading as part of the series. I highly recommened this book.

Summary: Salvatores borriest book...
Review: I wonder.Why Drizzt and Catti-brie hadn't hooked up yet?.... Yes I see salvatore wants-or thats what I think-to tell between them is a romance.Yes, I know Drizzt is a drow, but still, what's the matter? Salvatore always write like this: Catti-brei know drizzt best-and right. so..? And, I think too,Zak would be better person ther, because of drizzt is too good.I say it again...And wulfgar...I really didnt like that he came back. 'wuflgar is just a superman...(remember what he did to the ship in Ice wind dale 3)and then...

Summary: Pretty good
Review: Once again, Salvatore writes a captivating adventure that I could not put down. You feel like you're RIGHT THERE with the characters...I loved the haunted island scene, when Catti-brie looks in the water and sees those dead people holding candles...creepy. And the resulting wizard battle on the beach - I thought that was very humerous. Basically, it's a great book, and any fan of Drizzt Do'Urden should read it. That aside, I'll tell you what bothered me about the book. First of all, I suppose Drizzt is a heck of alot more arrogant then I thought, or else he's incapable of deciphering a tough poem (think Emily Dickinson). I mean, I, personally, have no idea how he got the fact that Zaknafein was held captive from the witch's poem. There was the word "father" in the second line, but it was obviously talking about Drizzt - as was any future references of Zak. I won't recite the poem here, but I'll just say that I had raised eyebrows when Drizzt announced that Zaknafein must be captured. I mean, come on. It's not always about just you, Drizzt! Another thing that started irking me was the simple fact that, after six years together, Drizzt and Catti-brie still hadn't hooked up. Throughout the entire series, they have been attracted to each other, and after Wulfgar died I was sure they would hook up. Instead, they hold hands and said, "Just friends...for now." I thought that was sweet, but I was fully expecting a little romance between them, especially after six years of adventuring together. But...I guess not! And I doubt there will be any future romantic conflicts - Drizzt will undoubtedly fade back into the shadows and live the rest of his life without ever kissing a female. The battle scene at the end was good, and yet..you knew that they would survive. Every character, Drizzt included, was thought to be dead at least once. I sort of thought that Guenhwyvar was gone, and I was glad when Drizzt was shook up about it - rarely does he show any emotion at all, and he always says just the right thing. Much emotion was shown in this book - tears rimmed my eyes when Catti-brie reunited with Bruenor, and of course the reunion at the end. Ok, so this is more of a ramble then a review, but I had to do it somewhere.:)
