Starless Night (Forgotten Realms: Legacy of the Drow, Book 2)

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.

Summary: wow, this book ruled
Review: My major problem was that i read this book after seige of darkness, and it was some what revealed to me. Though it is a great book and i strongly recomend it to any one. (don't start with seige of darkness like i did ands go in backwards order, it was cool), and a recommendation is to read it with Dvorak's symphony #1 in the backgroud, they go well

Summary: RA Salvatore is a mastermind!
Review: Noone can bring a character alive (Drizzt) like RA Salvatore. When reading the book I feel I have known Drizzt, as well as the other characters. I have read all of the Dark elf books at least twice, and will probably read them many more times as well. I highly recommend them to anyone who loves fantasy.

Summary: Well..well...well
Review: Ok, i really liked the book. I only had two dissapointments, the cover(duh). I thought drizzt (drittz/dritzt CHECK THE R.A.SALVATORE WEBSITE). And, i was really looking forward to Menzoberranzon polotics...but there weren't many. There were some, but not nearly as many as compared to the Dark Elf Trilogy. It fealt really good to laugh in Entreri's face when he fealt hopeless! I thought it was about time the big bully got into trouble! Also, i loved how the book's main character(i fealt) was Catti-Brie. I really liked how she took charge with Regis, though i wished Regis had put up more of a fight... Also, I thought I might get to see Dove, Alustriel's sister..but nope. >.< No dove, oh well...maybe next book, though i doubt it. It was still a really great books, espeacially sense there wasn't as much of Mithril Hall(which is TOTALLY boring!)

Summary: Very well written
Review: One of my favorites in the Drizzt series. The author brings out the characters in this book very well and there is a good deal of introspection. No mindless violence and Drizzt is not the all powerful hero.

Great reading, unfortunately RA Salvatore's later series simply do not live up the standards set earlier. Old Wine in new Bottles.

Summary: something straight
Review: people need to realize something. the return of wulfgar was forced on salavatore by wizards of the coast. he was told either he brings back wulfgar, or they will get another author to do so. becuase salvatore writes in someone elses universe, he does not have complete control over where his stories lead. get this through your thick skulls.

Summary: A Great Second Book of the Series
Review: R.A. Salvatore has created an amazing book for the second part of the Legacy of the Drow series. The interesting plot twists- Entreri alive and living among the drow, Jarlaxle's smart little plan which completely changes events around-have made this one amazing book to read. He has once again captured the images of beautiful Menzoberranzan, and descriptions of the ways of the drow are heightened in scenes inside the House Baenre dungeons. I think that Salvatore couldn't have written a much better book for this part of the series.

Summary: The best book ever along with Homeland.
Review: Starless Night is simply the best book ever wrtitten by anybody, not counting Homeland. That's MY opinion. And the pressure is upon the word "MY". There's no Wulfgar, Regis or Bruenor messing things up. Only Drizzt, Artemis, Catti-Brie and the drows. If Salvatore hadn't written Catti-Brie onto this book, it would be the best. The way how Salvatore shows the drows and their culture is truly amazing and intriguing. Simply one of the best.

Summary: Wonderful Job!
Review: Starless Night is the best Drizzt book after homeland. Drizzt is still the most favourite char of the FR and his charismatic heroic acts make him one of the best characters ever! The Cover Art sux! Drizzt is much much more handsome and younger than this venerable ugly thing. And...DRIZZT DESERVES ALUSTRIEL!!!!

Summary: Not What I Expected
Review: Starless Night wasn't what I expected for the next Drizzt book. It was good, but not that good. I've read Eddings, Feist, and Tolkien, but nobody does a battle like Salvatore. To all of you who think that Drizzt looks a little old, think, he IS what, 110 years old!!!!!
