Sea of Swords (2001)

Definitely better than book 12. When Salvatore actually lets himself inject humour into the narrative it adds so much. I still find myself skimming/struggling to mentally picture all the sword fights that get described, though whether that's my visualisation issues or Salvatores writing is a toss up tbh. ( )

While the scenes on the ship were good, for me this was one part of the Drizzt story arc where the story started to get lost. I just did not enjoy this directionless novel as much as the previous novels. Still well written, still great action, just not a great plot. ( )

In this volume of Salvatore's neverending Forgotten realms saga everybody's looking for something. Wulfgar the barbarian's after his lost Aegis-fang, and his friends are after him. And yes, a mysterious elf's after Drizzt for killing him...
Absolutely a typical Salvatore book. A fast-pacing, action packed pageturner. But I think that's what we want from a Drizzt story... :-) ( )

The legendary Aegis-fang is lost to pirates. Can the heroes of Mithrall Hall reclaim it? Can mighty Wulfgar find himself and reunite with his friends and family? All the while a secretive elf plans the perfect assassination of Drizzt for unknown reasons.

I really enjoyed this book. It was a great glimpse back at all of the heroes fighting together once again. Swift paced action and plot make it almost impossible to set down once you start. ( )

Typical Salvatore book. Easy to read and pretty action-packed all the way through. It was good to see the Companions become one again. I don't much care for the Drizzt/Catti-brie romance thing though. ( )
