The Silent Blade is in every regard an improvement over the LEGEND OF DRIZZTs preceding installment, Passage to Dawn. The plot is tighter, the characterization is subtler, and stressing this point most of all the prose has taken leaps and bounds forward. However, this is also the installment of THE LEGEND OF DRIZZT that finally convinced me that the series has not only jumped the shark, but is doing Evel Knievel motorcycle flips over whole tanks of great whites.Previously, on Drizzt andSo, it it hasn't been painfully clear, I've been struggling with this series for the past couple books. I took a break and read some other stuff, but in the end, there was still a nagging part of my mind that kept telling me I need to come back. I need to read more. The books get better, because my three favorite books, the first ones I read, were written LAST, so really the series can only improve. So I came back and picked up Silent Blade and I am so glad that I did. This book has everything I
My previous review of this book put it in a more favorable light, but now that I've had some time to really think it over, I'm changing some things. The ending was really good, so I think that was the only thing I was remembering about when I wrote my first review.R. A. Salvatore continues to be an interesting and original writer despite the fact that this is the 11th book about the same character. His writing style is quick and easy to understand, without being unclear, and his combat scenes
I would like to start off by saying that I'm tired of Drizzt Do'urden. He was cool for about the first seven or eight books in which he appeared but as the series goes on he has become a rather repetitive and boring character. Years ago I found myself enthralled by the many fight scenes in which he goes around slaughtering orcs, goblins or whatever else with his mighty scimitars but it has gotten to the point now to where such scenes are so common place and repetitive that they seem like filler
I've always liked most of R.A. Salvatore's work. But I have to admit, this series starts to go downhill at this book. I don't like Wulfgar, and his decent into madness and drink feels a little bit overused. Gee...that also happened to an overly-tall warrior in another fantasy series (Dragonlance). And Drizzt's role (the only one I truly care about) starts to decrease. But Jarlaxle is a great villian, so he kind of makes up for it. And he continues into the next books, so that is one bonus.I just
"Loss of empathy might well be the most enduring and deep-cutting scar of all, the silent blade of an unseen enemy, tearing at our hearts and stealing more than our strength" (11-12). My Rating 5 stars Book Series Book 11 of the Legend of Drizzt series (30+ books). My Thoughts I'm so glad to be able to rate this book 5 stars. I've had problems with the last two, however this book was perfect!First, we get Entreri (my favorite) and his return to Calimport. Calimport is my second favorite setting
In the grand scheme of ups and downs in this long series, I think this is a lower point than many others. By the end of the Icewind Dale trilogy, I loved all the characters. I was so excited to see more of their adventures and spend more time with them. Unfortunately, Dark Elf and Legacy of the Drow did not jive with me in the same way as the original trilogy did. I was about 50/50 on both of them. I was hoping that Paths of Darkness would offer a new, exciting start (especially given how the
