Not one of Salvatore's best, this is worth reading if you want to continue reading everything in the Drizzt series, but it can be skipped. ( )

I love Drizzt and every character in Salvatore's looooong series. Just a good, fun read. ( )

Another quieter book; while there are still battles and other actiony bits, the focus here is on the characters’ inner struggles and their personal developments. The ending struck me as slightly abrupt, but it was still very fitting; I enjoyed it a hell of a lot. ( )

The heroes of Mithrill Hall reunited finally. With the crystal shard in Drizzt's possession they must adventure out once more into the Forgotten Realms to visit Cadderly at the Spirit Soaring.

I thought this was yet another great book in the series, maybe more so than others as the wide scope this book encompassed to character developement on all of my favorite characters from Drizzt, to Entreri, Bruenor, Wulfgar, Regis, Jarlaxle, and Cattie-Brie.

R. A. Salvatores fantastic fighting sequences play out once again, with his imaginative and brilliantly written battles. Well worth the time it takes to read, with me about a day as I could not put it down. ( )

Book description

Amazon.com (ISBN 0786913886, Mass Market Paperback)

Everybody's favorite introspective dark elf butt-kicker is back. And if you're one of the many fans of R.A. Salvatore's phenomenally popular twin-scimitar-swinger, you won't be disappointed. The Silent Blade is old-school Drizzt, an adventure that brings together the original gang: the lovely Cattie-brie, the plump and mischievous Regis, the gruff dwarven father-figure Bruenor, and the even more gruff barbarian hammer-hurler Wulfgar. Better yet, The Silent Blade brings back Drizzt's best worst nemesis, master assassin Artemis Entreri. Throw in the evil artifact Crenshinibon (a.k.a. the Crystal Shard, the namesake of the first Drizzt Do'Urden book), and you know you're in for a good time.

The plot follows three intertwined threads: Drizzt and Co.'s road trip to destroy Crenshinibon, Wulfgar's struggle to overcome the scars of his imprisonment at the claws of the demon Errtu, and Artemis Entreri's long-awaited return to the seamy streets of Calimport. The action is as lively as ever, with giants and goblins and thieves all getting their deserved lumps at the hands of our heroes, and of course Drizzt continues his meditations on life with a capital L. The book's highlight, though, comes when Do'Urden and Entreri cross paths once again, this time with surprising results. And the promise of that matchup should keep you flipping the pages quickly. --Paul Hughes
