Summary: greatness incarnate
Review: easily one of, if not salvatores best book, and it doesnt have drizzt at all. yet i cannot help myself, i have read this book repeatedly, and it gets better every time. despite, the fact that the book is about the villians, it is still an amazing book, one that draws you in. must read

Summary: Okay...But Not Great.
Review: Anything "Forgotten Realms" that R.A. Salavore writes, I read. Were this not the case, I might well never have bought, let alone read, this particular book. It has in focus the "bad guys" of Salvatore's AD&D storyline, but lacks a certain charm. It is hard to wish the characters well and thus be drawn into their story, and when one of the secondary characters that had been relatively important is suddenly and swiftly dead, one can hardly mourn. It is treated in the text pretty much as a next-to-irrelevant fact.If you are a die-hard Salvatore fan, you'll want to read this book to keep up with the overall storyline and know what happens with the Crystal Shard. If you're not a part of this "elite" band, then don't bother.

Summary: MY FAVORITE BOOK
Review: Ihave read every Drizzt book and this is, byfar, my favorite. While others delve into the Drow Sociaty lightly, this one is all about the Drow. This is the first book to feature my three favorite charactors (Cadderly, Entreri, and Jarlaxle) in one book. While you are looking at the Drow there will be new things you discover every time you read it. Also if you read closly it greatly reveals what happend to Artemis Entreri to make him "The Most Vile of Assasins" (see pages 107, 145, and 315/316) all and all, if you do not have this book, buy it right now. I can promis you that you will not regret it.

Summary: Worthy of Hardcover
Review: Triumphant conclusion of Paths of Darkness. As the last in this series was much better than its predecessor, so is this. Arguably RAS best work. For a single book, I think it is. But as always, an existing appreciation for the characters will go a long way. I highly recommend this to NOT be your first RAS book. Go read the Legacy series first. And certainly read the first two books in Paths of Darkness before this one. Hold off on this as long as you can. I heard so much about this book, I savored it by reading no more than 1 section a night. It was very hard to fight the temptation to read more. This is an extremely compelling book that is fast paced and still manages to provide quality character time. Jarlaxle is at his finest, and a new side of him is shown. Also a starteling revelation about Jarlaxle at the end of this book. main characters are; Jarlaxle, Artemis Entreri, Dhwavel Tiggerwillies

Summary: My favorite book in the world.
Review: I hesitated about picking up this book especially because I'm so busy and I thought "Well this is just another Drizzt book." It turned out that this is the best book I've ever read in my life. (Just for some background, I'm a college student who read every single Drizzt book.) See, I didn't know that this would be all about Artemis Entreri. You thought he was cool, but he really shows off his power in this book. Forget Drizzt, bad guys are in. It turns out, the book will completely surpass your expectations. Dont miss this no matter what. Pick it up, it'll take only a week to finish but just like me, you'll be thanking yourself you did it. Cheap too hey?
