RA Salvatore is my favorite author. I have followed the tale of Drizzt from the very first book. The two swords is the last in this series of books and as such I had high expectations. Salvatore came through with his rich descriptions that make the characters come to life and every detail in the environment is envisioned. I read about the book on Salvatore's site where he described how this book has twists and surprises that surprised even those close to him. I guess on this I would have to agree, as I said I had certain expectations and while the ending was neither happy nor sad, it didn't give me the sense of closure I was hoping for. Even so it is a must for any fantasy reader's collection!
I have been reading one of the GREATEST trilogies dealing with dwarves, orcs, wizards and the MOST EVIL beings. R.A. Salvatore is AWESOME!! It feels like you ARE THERE when you get to know the characters, it is like they are people you actually know. I am on the THIRD and FINAL book of the series and I'm taking my time reading it. I'm afraid for people I love may perish. Book II had me laughing and feeling heroic, but some parts, continued from Book I had me crying and slamming the book shut. I've never reacted to a book that way EVER! "It's just a book, I'm acting silly." But when you can relate to the carelessness of some warriors and the things they do and you know better, and they knew better, the consequences are then before you and will take place in a matter of moments. The thing is, if you truly thought your actions through, this would not have happened in the first place. I LOVE IT!! The Orcs are so devious and dumb, but not stupid. The crazy battle hungry ones are easy to kill, it is the smart ones understand magic exists and using it will make the odds better for them. Not even the Pegasi are safe in the sky as they can be.... Let me stop there. If you LOVED Lord of the Rings, learn of Drizzt Do'Urden -The Drow and you will know what being Evil, but Good is. His storyline is just EPIC!! Thanks R.A. Salvatore!Read full review
I bought this book because I have read the whole series and love the author and the main character Drizzt DoUrden! The only thing I disliked is that it is supposedly the LAST book. This author is TOPS in my opinion! Great writing! Fantastic introspection that gives depth to the characters! A real HERO in REAL circumstances in a FANTASY setting! Inspires and encourages me to walk the path few take and hold to Values and Principles that matter-gathering WISDOM and lending support to others...even obove ones own self!
Nothing beats R.A. Salvatore's battle scenes the graphic detail is unbelievable! When you read this book you can picture every detail. Isn's a happy ending a little cliche? It's a great story of epic proportions but you don't have to worry about anything being cliche here, all writing is original which makes R.A. Salvatore a great author!
This is book 16 in the Drizzt series and in my opinion, the best book so far. It held my attention from the first page till the end. I did not want to put it down. There have been some slow books in the series but I have persevered because when a book like this one comes along you really are glad you kept up with the story line. As I am retired I have plenty of time to read and am glad I got caught up in this series.
