Summary: It was good But almost a exact duplicate of Tolkien
Review: The book was good but the names and places were almost the same as Tolkien's world and his character's names. Mithril is the pure silver dwarf's made into the weapons and mail coats in Tolkien's book.

Summary: Streams of Silver (The Icewind Dale Trilogy, Book 2)
Review: The fantastic sequel to The Crystal Shard is this book, Streams of Silver. Not only is this an engrossing read but it opens a few more paths for the main characters: Drizzt Do'Urden, Wulfgar, Regis, and Bruenor. The second book is probably the most important book because it brings two things into the story: the relentless and sadistic Artemis Entreri, an assassin out to capture and murder Regis the halfling, and the problems Drizzt faces with the predjudices associated with his dark heritage. These two don't seem that they would go together but as you delve farther into the book you see that they in short do. Not only has Salvatore out done himslef but he as added a couple new variables into this equation, variables which reoccur quite often in his other book series. Streams of Silver is sure to be a classic and doesn't dissapoint in anyway. A riveting story which can only be described as fantastic is ever present in all of Mr. Salvatore's books but this one takes high honor. It could be said that Streams of Silver is the threshold to a number of more thrilling and powerful tales. It is the true starting point of Mr. Salvatore's work.

Summary: Above Average
Review: The second book of the Icewind Dale Trilogy sees Bruenor, Drizzit, Wulfgar, and Regis leaving the Dale to search out Bruenor's ancestrial home Mithril Hall. This book suffers a bit since most of the party's major stuggles occur near the end of the book (other than the few days they spend in the Trollmoors). The rest of the book is pretty much forgettable, though it does set up things nicely for the next book (which is quite a bit better).

Summary: One of my all time "favs" when it comes to Fantasy Novels
Review: This book has to be one of my favorite books of all time in the Fantasy genre. Unlike the previous book, The Crystal Shard", it was non-stop action all the way through. Amazing characters and wonderful description of the world, characters , monsters and battle scenes. A defintite must have for fantasy fans and another of the great books that R.A. Salvatore has written. A major reason that he has and will always be one of my favorite authors of all time.

Summary: Streams of Silver is action packed
Review: This book is best one, out of the Icewind Dale Trilogy.
In it Salvatore uses great characters who keep you turning the pages of this book until you're done. The heroes of this book aren't just flat characters. They have flaws like anyone else, but they compliment each other by making up for what any one of them lacks. All in all, this is a book I would recommend any fantasy/adventure lover to read.

Summary: The Icewind Dale Trilogy: Book Two
Review: This book is the second chapter in R.A. Salvatore's Icewind Dale Trilogy set in the Forgotten Realms. This volume picks up right where book one (The Crystal Shard) left off with our intrepid band of adventurers setting off to find the ancestral dwarven home of Mithril Hall. Bruenor the dwarf, Wulfgar the barbarian, Regis the halfling, and the ever-popular Drizzt Do'Urden the dark elf should all be familiar figures to you if you've read the first volume of this trilogy. Salvatore does a good job of building on these characters while keeping the pace moving along at a brisk clip. The characters pass through some interesting settings on their journey, with Salvatore giving just enough detail to keep you intrigued without burying you under a mountain of info. An assassin and a couple of wizards get thrown into the mix just to keep things interesting. This book is a prime example of what should be expected from any Forgotten Realms novel: good, fast fun that doesn't require a lot of effort to get from cover to cover. I recommend this to anyone who's read the first book, or anyone looking for a light , fun read. So, on to book 3...

Summary: A coaster ride of a well written adventure.
Review: This book is truely more about Bruenor the dwarf. You'll learn about Bruenor and how his feels about his children that he self adopted Cattie-Brie and Wulgar. In a way, Drizzt is implied as a member of Bruneor's family. Bruenor is on a quest to his centuries old birthplace of his known heritage Mithril Hall. The chemistry of all the chartacters are well protrayed. Drizzt, even though, in my opinion is the most powerful of the bunch is the key element of why this story is great.

Summary: Another thriller from Salvatore!
Review: This book may even be better than the first one, and that's saying a lot. What really put it a notch ahead was the wonderful array of foes that the heroes had to deal with. Artemis Entreri has to be one of the coolest evil dudes I've come across, and Bok the golem (who could pound through castle walls with his bare fists) put vivid images in my head. Don't forget about Dendybar the Mottled, the Trollmoors, the Druegar, the Shadow Hounds, and especially Shimmergloom, a shadow dragon. This book got Regis and Cattie-Brie more involved too, and I must say that Cattie-Brie kicked some serious tale! The best part of the book has to be the last fight against Shimmergloom. Bruenor is freaking nuts, but he sure put a hurting on the beast. While the book ends in a pretty desparate situation, with Bruenor assumed to be dead, and Artemis making off with Regis and Drizzit's shadow cat, a great adventure is promised for the next one. I look forward to it greatly.

Summary: Excellent middle novel for the trilogy
Review: This book unlike other second books of trilogies is superb and that is rare. Although he hasn't fully developed his writing form yet it is better than at least 98% of all the other books out there. Also all of the books after this will be truly superb. This book could have been better in my point of view but does do a nice job of putting in a good amount of tension and action although I was hoping for something more in Mithral Hall.
