Summary: Invincible characters and absurd resurrection ruins book
Review: I would have rated this book higher for sheer readability, but as longtime a Drizzt fan some things just bothered me too much. These super-characters are no longer believable. I will probably read the next Drizzt novel as well, but the summary already worries me. Artemis will be back again. Get some new characters, Salvatore! The Artemis/Drizzt rivalry should have been over when Drizzt finally defeated him (in the Legacy I believe). I thought bringing Artemis back in Starless Night was really pushing it, let alone having Artemis pop up again for yet another round with Drizzt. Drizzt is a great character, but future novels are desperately in need of some new material

Summary: Is the true Drizzt dead forever?
Review: If it wasn't for Drizzt this book would get zero stars. This is by far Salvatore's worst to date. The plot is lousy and predictable, and the ending is a horrible letdown.Problem number just supposed to turn into vapor with the reappearance of the lump o' lard barbarian? Sorry Salvatore, but you'll have to do better than that..

Summary: A nice book but far from Salvatore's best. Very predictable
Review: I am a hardcore Salvatore fan. I've read all of his books many times. After the great ending in Seige of Darkness I expected the next book to be just as good, even better. Sorry to say, but I was disappointed. And not just for one reason.First, the book was too predictable. What about Catti-Brie and Danica, and the dwarven brothers?) However i'm not all that critical. It is Salvatore after all. The humorous bits with Robillard and Harkle were a nice diversion and as always the fights lived up to Salvatores standards.In addition the journal entries were marvelous. All in all the book is OK, but far from his best works (i.e. Seige of Darkness, Starless Night). Any Salvatore fan should read the book but like i said, don't expect too much

Summary: Overall, the book was good.
Review: I did not think this book was nearly as good as many of Salvatore's other works. For one thing, bringing a character, presumed dead, back to life was taking it too far. Also, since Drizzt is a ranger, I never would have began the book with he and Catti-brie working for Deudermont as sailors. Another thing was that after hearing the poem, Drizzt immediately assumes it is his father, but he had seen his father's body destroyed in a lake of acid. Also, Salvatore never really let on to whom Catti-brie thought the poem was about. The final showdown against Errtu was a joke. Even stretching the imagination, it is immpossible to see them defeating a host of demons and defeating Errtu who posseses the Crystal Shard, Still, I would recommend to fans of Drizzt Do'Urden to buy the book, maybe they'll find it better than I did.

Summary: DRIZZT DRIZZT DRIZZT
Review: i am tired of everyone being so obssessed with drizzt he is a terrific charecter and all but everyone knows the only challenge he'll ever get in singular combat is Entreri. so everyone stop worshipping drizzt for once, the dark elf trilogy was the worst of the drizzt series of books. the crystal shard is no doubt bob's best accomplishment to date. Wulfgar is and has always been my fave character out of any book i've ever read and i loved having him be brought back but it has pretty obvious see his face smack dab on the cover. and his death was much more impressive. the only thing that ever effected me as much emotionally as wulfgars death was willaim wallace's death in braveheart(my fave movie). anyways this book is very impressive (as are all salvatores i would give every one of his books that ive read a perfect 10

Summary: A good book, but there is always room to improve.
Review: Okay, it is a good book, but what bothered me was that we have all lost some 6 years in the time betwenn this book and the last. What happened? Btw did you know that "Mielikki" is a Finnish name ( Im from there ;-) ?

Summary: Good, but not as good as other Drizzt books
Review: My comment is the same as everyone else's. Too predictable. Also I think that instead of resurrecting old characters, Salvatore should invent some new ones. That, as well as his excellent 'action writing' was always his strength. That being said, I would like to see some old plot lines tied up, or at least followed up on: namely, that elf-girl Drizzt saved who turned up again in Starless Night, and Jarlaxle, who was a complex character with strange motives (why help a rebel drow who can't reward you when your highest priorities are causing chaos, turning a profit, and looking out for number 1?) I agree with previous reviewers in that I'd like to see a solitary Drizzt again (or at least more Drizzt-focused novels). Over all, I felt that this book was nothing more than a long epilogue to The Legacy, and while it wasn't bad, it wasn't great either.

Summary: Good as usual....but why?
Review: I've always been a big fan of Salvatore's, ever since I first cracked open The Crystal Shard so many years ago. Drizzt continues to be my favorite character of all time--that hasn't changed at least. What I found lacking is how easily everything came together. The 'fog of fate' was just a little too convenient if you ask me. The ending seemed a bit rushed, as everything just appeared to end. I was also left empty when you know who was brought back to life. Why??? The relationship between Cattie-Brie and Drizzt was becoming interesting, so why bring him back? His death was spectacular...his revival, much less. Oh well. I'll give a nod to everyone else who complained of this point before. Does this mean Drizzt will be going his own way again? (not that it would be such a bad thing...his other solo adventures were great: ie Dark Elf Trilogy). I still look forward to more with my man Drizzt, whatever the case. Entreri, where are you? I'm not all critical, however. The change of scenery was welcome. I always enjoy the desriptive battle scenes and Drizzt's journal entries. All in all it was an enjoyable read, but it just doesn't rank with his best.

Summary: GREAT BOOK
Review: This was a great book and I recommend it to any Salvatore fan. However, the surprise ending left me hanging. I wanted to know what happened right away. I think that in Mr. Salvatore's next book, he should finish the story in one book and then start the next.

Summary: NOT his last on so don't stop here.
Review: Why did I rate this book a 9? Loved the book but when you read the riddle (everyone is basically giving the plot away so I will refer to it too) and reading the part with Danica and Catti-brie, I figured out it wouldn't be Zaknalfien coming back. I wanted for it to be, though. That is a partial reason for the nine. The other is because from the book The Halfling's Gem, I wanted Catti-brie & Drizzt to get together. That was disturbed by bringing Wulfgar back. Hey, Wulfgar died a hero's death, they mourned for him, Drizzt went on a failed suicide mission to Menzoberronzen because of that, and Drizzt was able to admitt his feelings to Cat. His death was perfect. STILL.............., I don't mind having Wulfgar back. I loved the description of the Spirits Soaring and I love oceans, seas, forests, ect... I would be a ranger in the same context as a Mielikki worshipper so I feel a kinship with Drizzt. I hope Salvatore's next book , The Silent Blade, will be better. Entreri, why do you have to come back in this story?
