Summary: BRAVO R.A. SALVATORE!!!
Review: Definitely GREAT Fantasy epics and my personal favorites, The Dark Elf Trilogy-Homeland, Exile, and Sojourn, as well as The Icewind Dale Trilogy- The Crystal Shard, Streams of Silver, and The Halfling's Gem bring to life the story of the good hearted dark elf ranger Drizzt Do'Urden and his adventures in the magical World of Faerun. Legacy, Starless Nights, Siege of Darkness and Passage to Dawn are the continuation of these adventures in a way that you keep coming back for more and more and more? The books are all so incredibly well written that the reader feels that they have been transported to another universe and are actually present among the characters, seeing what they see, feeling what they feel, sensing what they sense. RA Salvatore has truly outdone himself and has presented us with a masterpiece of literature the likes of which we have seen only in JRR Tolkien?s work and in authors Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman?s Dragonlance Chronicles and Legends trilogies. Duty, honor, bravery, magic, and swordfights are all about. One should seriously start thinking about maybe turning them into movies?

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Salvatore's Four Great Books Rolled Into One
Review: For 27.95 I think it is worth reading about Drizzt's further adventures into the dangerous Underdark. From defending Mithral Hall to actually ending the conflict between himself and his fellow dark elfs Salavtore never fails in discrbing one of the best parts of the Forgotten Realms World.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A wonderful collection of a great series
Review: From reading the prologue in this book, I could already tell that Salvatore had written yet another masterpiece. I ended up finishing the entire four-book collection in 3 days. All five of his classic characters (Drizzt, Regis, Bruneor, Catti-brie, and Wulfgar <Guenhwyvar>) star in these wonderful books. The characters are built strongly in this book. Aside from the amazing characters, the plot is unbelievable. Twists and turns keep you reading this great book as the friends work together... This is one of Salvatore's best collections I have ever seen, deffinately consider buying it. I would reccomend this book any fantasy reader; or anyone who enjoys a great book!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The best has come
Review: Here in one book lies the best tales of the hero Drizzt. Haunted buy his past, he must once again face his hated mother, and the wicked ways of the drow. Feeling he has at last found a place on the serface Drizzt hopes he has left his past behind him. Little does he know that his forsaken homeland has turned its eyes towards Mithryll Hall looking for him. His sister hellbent on a insain cause to rule all of Menzobberanzan demands her brothers blood and wont stop until she gets it or dies trying.All this and much much more await you

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Homeland
Review: Homeland is Salvatore's masterpiece. I have never before been so captivated by a book. Homeland captured my interest from the very first page and 9 hours later I had completed the book and felt a sense of loss upon its completion. I have always admired Salvatore's courage to kill off major characters no matter how loved they become. With no sense of loss there can be no heroes.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Legacy of The Weak Drow!!!
Review: I am a fan of Salvatore, but Legacy of the Drow Collector's edition is not all that good to me. I was disappointed in how week he made the Drow in books one and two, so I decided not to read the next two. How in the nine hell's was Cattie able to survive in Menzobarranazan, she's good, but she is no Drow. The Drow are described as the fiercest and most evil creatures known in the Realms, but were defeated by Drizzt, Entrerie, and Cattie. Salvatore focuses too much on Drizzt and his accomplishments which begins to get boring after so long. If the Drow are as tough as Salvatore say's that they are, why do they always lose, and lose they always do.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Cranked out garbage
Review: I barely managed to get thru this. For one thing, the first half of the first book in this volume seems dedicated to doing nothing more than respewing EVERYTHING the characters had done in all the prior novels. That's not only bad form, but its a bad sign right from the start. This is purely Salvatore milking the characters he developped a long time ago in a the mostly blatant and insulting way. If this is the first of the trilogies you've read in a long time, you will be completely put off by it. For those who've kept up, it may be worth it just to see what happens to the characters, but you should be just as insulted by the fact that in the end, you bought 3 books where in fact there was at LEAST one book's worth of stuff you already read.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Edge of your seat reading
Review: I felt as if I were right there going through the adventures with Drizzt and his friends. I would recommends this book to anyone who loves to read. It keeps you on the edge of your seat its so exciting. I love the reading the collector's addition because if I finsh one book I can go on to the next without having to wait.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the greatest adventures of a lifetime
Review: I have been reading these books since Crystal Shard was released, and I have never read anything that engrosses me into the characters and settings as much as these books, along with the Icewind Dale and Dark Elf Trilogy collection.

If you have never dived into the world of Drizzt Do' Urden and his friends, start with the Dark Elf Trilogy and work your way into Legacy of the Drow.

Not many fantasy novels can stimulate the imagination and take you away into another world in the way that these books can. You find yourself missing the characters between releases, sharing their griefs and cheering their victories.

And above all else, the words that the famous Drizzt writes in his logs are very inspirational, and allow for self-reflection.

Legacy of the Drow contains wars that are described in only ways that Salvatore can do it. Don't forget to breath between chapters.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Legacy
Review: I have never understood why my husband liked this book so much,until I read it. I love the way he describes each of the characters in full detail. He makes you feel that you are standing there watching everything. Kinda like a fly on the wall. The way he describes the fight scenes with Drizzt, the way he does some kind of dance. You picture how stubborn Cattie-Bri is and you begin to love her as well as Bruenor and Wulfgar. I am now on the third book of this series and i can't stop reading them. I have read alot of books, but they don't keep me that interested than these books have.
