Rating: Summary: Great Continuation Of Drizzt's Adventures! Review: While a good story it is not his best work. Shows the strength's of his characters and some of their weeknesses as well. It is a very believable continuation of a minority's fight to be accepted in society.
Rating: Summary: GREAT GREAT GREAT Review: This book was awsome it was the best salvatore book ive ever read it stunk to see wolfgar leave because he is the best character even better than drizzt but i know hes not really dead. This book was sweet i recomend it to everyone because it was a great book and i couldn't put it down and that normaly doesnt happen to me when it comes to books. So that just means this was somthin speacial. I hope salvatore keeps up the good work with the rest of his books.
Rating: Summary: Not the best he's written Review: The Legacy was a great book. Though he should of had the battle of the drow vs. dwarves be a little more one sided. If in seige of darkness the dwarves win against the entire drow army, they should be able to easily defeat 50-100 drow. Ecpecially with the gutbuster.
Rating: Summary: Must Read Review: The only books I had read by Salvatore until recently had been the Demon Wars trilogy. I heard that the Demon Wars trilogy was by far his best work so I wasn't sure his other books would be very good. I was so wrong. The Legacy was an extremely well written book and shows that even Salatores earlier works are great. I recommend this book to everyone. I hadn't read fantasy in years and Salvatore has brought me back.
Rating: Summary: More Entreri! Review: I think Mr. Salvatore should bring Entreri up more often. He is so... so... well... cool! If Mr. Salvatore would write a book (or lots of books ;>) about Entreri's life, i certainly wouldn't be the only delighted fan. In this book, for example, the way he cheats everyone with the Mask, is so... annoying. In other words, Great! This is the best book (?) so far from Mr. Salvatore.
Rating: Summary: I thought it was great. Review: The way that there was a goblin/dwarf in the beginning was cool and Artemis Entreri just made you want to punch him.
Rating: Summary: Not enough of Regis Review: Regis didnt have his trademark spurt of uncharacteristc bravery I love. P.S. Lynch Jeff Easly!
Rating: Summary: Battles, battles, battles Review: RA Salvatore created a monster with the Drizzt character, a monster that he can no longer control. Fans want stories, and as long as he gets paid, he'll probably keep writing them. This can be, for the most part, good. As long as Mr. Salvatore find a plot.That crack is not to say that 'The Legacy' is a bad read - indeed, it is not. It's simply to say that this entire book clings to one long, lengthy battle occuring. Sure, it involved lots of people, often split up into little groups, and it spans miles of underground passageways, but really...there is little here. Some passing attempt is made at strong character development, and while several undergo major changes, "development" is not quite the right word. Rather, they go from Stereotype A to Stereotype C with no transition in between. (in all fairness, the incident in the novel that causes all this is also quite sudden) Not a bad fantasy novel by any means, but not a great one either.
Rating: Summary: One Great Book Review: If you liked the Dark Elf Books and the Icewind Dale You will love this one. I thought it was the best be FAR.
Rating: Summary: Pretty good Review: It's true I have less respect for Salvatore than other sci-fi/fantasy writers like C.S. Lewis and Douglas Adams, because he uses the D&D world. Most of his adventures are indeed much like D&D campaigns, but the main reason the books are so jam-packed with fighting is because everyone hates Drizzt and he has to fight all the time, and guys like Artemis Entreri (THE MAN) and Jarlaxle just like to fight. There is a plot to all of these battles: Read the Dark Elf Trilogy first and then the Icewind Dale Trilogy, and then the Legacy. Drizzt has a history of not getting along with Entreri, and the whole thing with the Spider Queen was pretty good too. For those of you who thought this book had no plot, it was probably because it was the first one you read and actually a continuation of a plot that you never got because you never read the earlier stuff, which is excellent. Most of you couldn't write anything better, and even if you did there would be someone in the world who hated it. I know people who hate Ender's Game. Hey, I know people who hate the original STAR WARS stuff.
