Passage to Dawn (Forgotten Realms: Legacy of the Drow, Book 4)

Rating:
Summary: A good book but not Salvatores greatest work!
Review: Passage to Dawn is a fantastic book but like most people am dissapointed with the end. Wulfgar is a great character but I do not think he should have been brought back having died in such a great way(if dying can be called great!). I loved the humour with Harkle being brought into the story for a short time. The book is still a good one and I recommend all drizzt fans to read it.

Summary: It Was Great... But Expected Somthing More From Salvatore
Review: This is definatlly one of R.A.'s best but the end left you hanging with a surprised ending that caught me off guard. I was hoping that Cattie-bre and Drizzt would get together. There were less fighting in this book showing that Salvatore is becoming more mature in his writtings. I recommend it for anyone to read. Please R.A. write about Drizzt.

Summary: I've had a little time to think
Review: I am actually the reader from South Portland, Me., and I have decided to review this book further. I have examined this book closely, and I have come up with a new conclusion. This book was a bit lacking, esp. at the end. I would, however, like to point out that this was due to TSR's time limit put on Salvatore. I still, also, give this book a 10 because it still is compared to other books, but as Salvatore goes, I would rate in a 6. Not his fault, and one more book, no time limit, to prove it!

Summary: Surprisingly good
Review: Although it started out slow, it ended great. Between a surprise reunion, new charachters, and great interactions between the charachters of this novel, it was a great read. A worthy ending to a fabulous series. Fantastic job Mr. Salvatore! Keep up the great work!

Summary: Gadzooks! What in blazes happened?
Review: The reason this book mustered a 6 and not a 4 was the sea battle. other than that, this was simple pre-programmed writing. I was unimpressed, and found myself predicting a large amount of what was coming. Drizz't seemed to have really stepped down in his ability to enthrall the reader, not to mention simply fight the enemy. And bring the (I'll leave this blank incase you haven't read it) back to life??? Oh man, what a let down. Good character, but better death. I'm sorry for my poor review, but I'm honest in saying this book doesn't rate with Salavatore's others.

Summary: High expectational let down (sigh.)
Review: Well, first let me say that R. A. Salvatore is about the best writer out now and I have come to love the Dark Elf stories. This one however seems more like a fill in the fans request than true Salavatore storytelling. It seems he rushed this book and I found it missing something when I was done. Starless Night was the absolute best among all the Dark Elf books and I think if Salvatore doesn't feel as passionately about Drizzt when he writes another (if he writes another.) tale concerning the stoic drow, then he should leave well enough alone. I LOVE YOU MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Summary: Wonderful work but a few let downs
Review: I really ejoyed this book as I did with all of the Drizzt books however there were quite a few things that anoyed me in this book. Also I hate the, "I'm so powerful", aspect of Drizzt. I liked the end fight with Errtu but still the running after the Yeti thing and hacking it to peices was kinda lame. I think you have to bring back Artemis Entreri! There has been no better character ever! The perfect match for Drizzt

Summary: ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
Review: Oh, I'm sorry, I was still asleep after reading this snoozer. Definately not vintage Salvatore. But that's OK, Drizzt's getting a bit tired out anyway. I'm sure that by now Salvatore has to strap himself to the chair and force himself to write about him. Salvatore has what many fantasy writers of today lack - a real eye for simple story telling. I'll still take his worst offering (as this most surely is) over more prolific authors', such as Goodkind and Jordan, who in their contest for the most comparisons to Tolkein, create overloaded lands and well, lets face it, boring characters and plot. Salvatore is still one of the best, despite this relative setback. If you don't believe me, just pick up a copy of THE DEMON AWAKES.

Summary: Finally, Drizzt gets out of the darkness
Review: I was very much looking forward to Bob Salvatore's latest in the Drizzt series. But I absolutely was NOT looking forward to more hack and slash adventure in the dark caverns of the Underdark. Happily, Salvatore takes his hero on a journey worthy of an epic, on the surface world, interacting with other interesting characters. The sea battles were fascinating, the minions of the other planes interesting, and the overall theme splendid. Salvatore has grown up some as a writer, not content to merely slice his way through hordes of bad guys and provide phony philosophy to fill the pages. A most enjoyable read.

Summary: PASSAGE TO DAWN: BEST FANTASY BOOK EVER WRITTEN
Review: PASSAGE TO DAWN IS THE BEST BOOK I HAVE EVER READ. R.A. SALVATORE HAD JUST ASCENDED INTO THE POSITION OF BEST EVER FANTASY WRITER. HIS BOOKS ARE SO FANTASTIC AND STIMULATING THAT IT TAKES ME LESS THAN A FEW DAYS TO READ HIS BOOKS. -RIKE47
