Review of the audiobook narrated by Victor Bevine.

Between 10 and 20 years ago, back when I only read a handful of books each year, I read through most of this series (up to book 17 of The Legend of Drizzt). With my recent re-introduction to reading thanks to audiobooks I've had the opportunity...

OK - before the comments get out of control, let me say a few things

#1 - I love Salvatore's work - I loved the Drizzt series and his work on Amalur and I have no ill feelings towards him AT ALL

So Waterdeep was a vast improvement on Tantras. Kelemvor and Midnight almost ruined it for me with their high school level romance, but the intricacies of Cyric's relationship with the sword, Adon's struggle and insights into the world of religion and philosophy in Faerun, and a healthy dose of Myrkul...

A buddy read with Kristen, Gavin, and Kaora.

This book picks up right where the first one ended. For this reason I cannot give any big details about plot as they will spoil the ending of the first book. Sufficient to say Drizzt is still alive which is not a big surprise as this is the second book of...

3.0/5

If you think this is a 5 star book, you've been reading the wrong fantasy books -- perhaps the wrong books in general.

Spoiler: Set your standards higher, please.

I understand rating books is subjective. With each book one finishes a person can't help but compare it to...
