Danger awaits Drizzt Do'Urden and Catti-brie on the high seas in this fourth and final installment in the Legacy of the Drow seriesIt has been six years since the fateful Battle of Mithral Hall; six long years during which Drizzt Do'Urden and Catti-brie have been away from the only place they ever truly felt at home. The pain of a lost companion still weighs heavily on their strong shoulders, but chasing pirates aboard Captain Deudermont's Sea Sprite has been enough to draw their attention show more away from their grief.
But when a mysterious castaway on an uncharted island appears bearing a strange message, Drizzt and Catti-brie are sent back to the very source of their pain—and into the clutches of a demon with vengeance on his mind.
Passage to Dawn is the fourth book in the Legacy of the Drow series and the tenth book in the Legend of Drizzt series.. show less

Finally one whole story from start to finish! Outstanding. In a not joking way, legitimately a very fun adventure that travels about the Realms and has a bunch of really nice character interaction.
However if I read the phrase 'lavender orbs' one more time I am going to eat my kindle.

Some new, likable characters (Cadderky and Danica) and great interactions between the wizards on the ship (Robillard and Harkle), but the impossible odds that are always overcome get more ridiculous in each book. Worst of all, after having the courage to kill off Wulfgar and allow the relationship between Drizzt and Carrie-brie to begin to bud, it is unforgivable to bring him back from the dead .
Not my favorite Drizzt novel. I still enjoy the writing, I still enjoy the characters, I just thought that here, the author was forced to go in a direction he didn't want to go and it showed. Being a shared world novel, Salvatore does not control the overall direction of the world, in this case it didn't work out as well.
The last Drizz't book I'll be reading.
While Salvatore can write a good battle scene, it seems that he writes like a crap author in every other situation. Which is odd, as I've read his Star Wars books, and while not terribly impressed, I didn't feel like a 10year old was writing the dialogue.
So farewell Mr Drizz't. May you find a luscious dark elf who also likes goodness, mainly so that Salvatore can stop yanking your chain with these terribly forced, awkward, cross-species wannabe romances...

In many ways, this was a much quieter book that the others; despite this, I still found it compulsively readable. I didn't really realize just how quickly I was reading it until I noticed how few pages were left. Very good stuff. Definitely not literature, but a lot of fun nonetheless.
The perfect ending to a great series. The characters continue to endear themselves to me. I love them even more than I did when I first read The Crystal Shard.
This is a wonderfully satisfying book.

"Seis años. No demasiado tiempo en la vida de un Drow y, sin embargo, contando los meses, las semanas, los días, las horas, me parece que hubiera estado lejos de Mithril Hall cien veces ese tiempo... Ahora cabalgo sobre las olas a lo largo de la Costa de la Espada, el viento y la espuma azontándome el rostro. Por techo tengo los bancos de nubes y el dosel de estrellas; por suelo, el crujiente maderamen de un barco veloz y deslucido por los elementos... ¿Es éste mi hogar?"
La nueva vida de libertad de Drizzt y Catti-brie a bordo del "Duende del Mar" se interrumpe cuando el ataque de un doppleganger, el poema enigmático de una vidente y un hechizo mal realizado por un mago provocan que nuestros protagonistas regresen a las tierras show more donde apareció por primera vez la Piedra de Cristal. Y el cebo para atraerlos es el espíritu de un ser amado, atrapado y torturado en las tinieblas del abismo por el perverso demonio Errtu, el Gran Balor que, para vengarse del Elfo Oscuro que lo desterró al abismo, busca destruir no sólo a Drizzt Do'Urden, sino a todos aquellos a los que ama. show less
