Summary: nice change of pace
Review: I read Starless Night and I loved it. the story was about Drizzt and Catti-bre (with Regis and Bruenor thrown in). I felt sorry about poor Regis each of his friends picking on him and acting rudely toward him expectally Catti-bre and Bruenor.Catti-bre picking him up and slamming him into the walls untill him told her where Drizzt's was. It was down right shocking and I personnally feel that it is none of her bussiness where Drizzt went, if Drizzt wanted her to know he would have told her. same goes for Bruenor, I liked how Regis stood up for himself and told Bruenor off. I only wish he had told off Catti-bre off to. She always buts into everybody's bussiness and tells people to mind thier own bussiness about her. ( like when in the Legacy Wulfgar aksd Catti-Bre if she did in fact meet with Drizzt and she told him that was her bussiness). So she followed Drizzt and allmost gets killed once again. I think she needs to be more carefull and quiet being so inpulsive and quite fankly mind her own bussiness. But all in all a good story plus you see how each of them in thier own way deals with Wulfgar's death. I highly recommened this book.

Summary: This book ROCKS THE HOUSE!
Review: I really enjoyed this book and I thought that it was one of the more skillfully written books of the series (not quite my favorite but really good). I loved the plot and the team effort of Cattie-Brie and Artemis Enteri.

Summary: Drizzt Goes Back to Menzoberranzan
Review: I really enjoyed this book. I think it is one of best books in the Drizzt series rating closely with Homeland and Exile. This novel details Drizzt's return to Menzoberranzan to end the perceived threat that the city has for his friends. The book has many twists and lots of intrigue along with the awesome battle scenes that Salvatore is known for. There was a lot of discussion in the other reviews about this book just following the same old plotlines. I think for the most part this is mostly false. Some of the things that happen in this book are the direct result of great character development. I thought the whole idea of Drizzt returning to Menzoberranzan was ludicrous probably the dumbest thing that Drizzt has ever done. However, I could understand where he was coming from; he was driven by his guilt he carried for the death of his friend Wulfgar.What I liked best...beyond the great battle scenes was probably the development of the villains in this book. Artemis Entreri is definitely only a shadow of his former self. He is for the first time is in his life lost. He has lost his confidence and in the presence of the drow feels true fear and even pities himself, not what you expect from the wily assassin. But, beyond Entreri is the new power behind the scenes, Jarlaxle. He is truly the most cunning and intelligent villain I have ever read about. Watching Jarlaxle manipulate the other characters in the book like pawns really gives me chills. I love these characters and can't wait for more. The only thing, other than the obviously inaccurate cover art, that I disliked about this book was the actions of Catti-brie. For a character that Salvatore always described as wise beyond her years and always able to look inside people and tell them about their biggest flaws, Catti-brie really does some dumb stuff. Yeah she had a part in the ending of the book, but she should have never made the trip. She is always yelling about people for putting themselves in danger for her and not thinking clearly then she goes off and chases after Drizzt. Someone needs to slap the stupid witch to give her a taste of reality or at least quit helping her (meaning Alustriel). Oh well just my point of view. Anyways, if you have enjoyed the Drizzt series so far this one will not disappoint you. If you haven't read the books before this one...you can probably get by just fine, but you won't truly enjoy it. At least read the Dark Elf Trilogy and The Legacy before this novel.

Summary: Somewhat boring.
Review: I really had high expectations for this book and thought the story will end especially after the end of the Icewind Dale Trilogy. But Salvatore did not meet up to my expectations on this book. The scenes were concentrated on the Underdark and Entreri is alive again. Not only Entreri but also Errtu. It seems that whatever Drizzt does with all his effort, couldn't accomplish and defeat all his adversaries. It seems that the author just made a book business out of it and never lets his stories finish so that the reader would keep on buying unending stories. I know there's another new book "The Silent Blade" all about these characters again. When will it end. I think I like my heroes imortalized into just a few books and just keep it that way. Killing a main character then resurrecting him again at the end is no fun at all (I'm speaking about Wulfgar by the way). I know this is legal for AD&D but in a novel, this is really no fun. Making an endless quest with same foes only degrades these characters. I don't know if I would still buy "Siege of Darkness" and "A Passage to Dawn" which are the continuations of this book. I just hope Salvatore makes a new foe and plot for Drizzt if he wishes to continue his legacy which I'm sure he will. Making a new book with the same characters is like watching a movie sequel with no development at all.

Summary: Another hit
Review: If you read the Legacy then you finally that the characters aren't invulnerable. Again Salvatore shines and although it's only based on a few characters (Jarlaxle,Drizzt,Catti-Brie,Entreri) and Menzoberranzan it is a good prelude to what's to come in the next book. And although the cover is a bit weird (I pictured Drizzt more younger, not a old man and clean shaven although Catti-Brie is a fox) don't let it scare you from reading this excellent novel.
Rating:
Summary: Passable at best
Review: If you really, really want to read these, well, they aren't *impossible* to get through. Heck, if you want a buttload of action and little more, get this. And still don't expect much. This is very juvenile stuff, so if you aren't into the kiddee-fantasy thing, stay far away.

Summary: One of Drizzt's Toughest Challenges yet
Review: In Starless Night Drizzt must travel back to his dreaded homeland Menzoberranzen for the sake of his friends and allies. Are the drow planning and preparing to attack mithril hall, or is this only in his mind because of the guilt that he feels. Read this book and find out.
Rating: 
Summary: A good sequel.
Review: It is very unlikely that a sequel is better than the first. Starless Night is one of those few books that are better than the first one. In this Drizzt book, Drizzt decides to go to Menzoberranzan to see what has happened to his long lost tribe. I really liked what happened to Artemis. He seems to be losing his evil touch. Catti-brie really shines in this book. I really feel sorry for her. Her loss of Wulfgar is just too much. Silverymoon is a great place to go in the Forgotten Realms, even if it doesn't put in with the story (which it did). Drizzt is kind of losing his fighting skills. I really wished Rwgis was in the Underdark too. Oh well. I hope the sequel will be good.

Summary: Sliding......
Review: It seems that the longer the Drizzt series goes on, the worse it gets. Maybe it's the fact that ultimately, there is very little to the character. Maybe it's RA Salvatore's tendancy to juggle a few plot devices, reusing them in novel after novel. Or maybe he himself is sick of Drizzt, and only continues to write about him to gather a paycheck. Doesn't matter which is true, or is none are...this book was, by and large, stale. Great lovers of the characters will no doubt want to dig right into this, but this reviewer just found himself *not caring* about what happens. The uneasy alliance between Drizzt and Artemis could be seen a mile away - heck, Salvatore has used that one before - and the sense of wonder and darkness that should have dominated the locales of the story was not there. Cattie-Brie visits an underground gnome city, yet you have not even the slightest passing clue as to what the city looks like, what goes on there, who lives there...none of it. She might as well have been sitting in an empty cave. Eh. Surely Drizzt lovers will love all of the scimitar slashing action in this book - I did not.

Summary: R.A ceases to amaze...
Review: My hats of to you R.A., for this excellent sequel to "The Legacy". The mood of the book was quite different from some of Salvatore's previous books, completely imersing the reader in the characters' minds, showing the dispair that they feel from previous events. I would almost venture to say that this book is *too* depressing in the tone it takes. But then again, it only makes it all the more real. As Drizzt ventures back to his homeland, Salvatore shows that he still has the eye for writing evil, portraying the drow to the utmost perfection. Salvatore's character development, as it has been shown in some of his later books(this included), is arguably some of the best in fantasy(possibly contemporary literature, dare I say?). Not just because of the depth he takes his characters into, but the twists he puts on them to make them unique to his stories. The fact that he also shows the development of his characters more often than telling of it truly amazes me. The equal development of his secondary characters such as Jarlaxle and Entreri, portraying them as not so much the antagonists puts an interesting plot twist on this book. Overall, "Starless Night" is a must for any Salvatore fan's library.
