Sea of Swords (Paths of Darkness #4)
The legend is complete!
This deluxe hardcover edition of The New York Times best-seller brings The Legend of Drizzt series to a close, and leads directly into the extraordinarily popular Hunter's Blades Trilogy.
Sea of Swords may be the last Drizzt book to get a new look, but it's hardly the end of this classic tale of good and evil in a world of magic and mystery.

The plot is well thought out and the author seems to know where he is headed right from the start, it was realistic (to fantasy standards) and very detailed. Unfortunately,I could predict what was going to happen for the duration of the book in the first fifty pages, this of course, makes even a fast paced book seam to plod along. The main character Drizzt Do-Urden is very unique and well-rounded, his back story is well thought out which allows him to grow and change in a believable fashion. The...more

I completely devoured this book, just as quickly as every other R.A. Salvatore I have ever read. I was so excited to find that Wulfgar was alive in Passage to Dawn. I was even happier when Salvatore dealt with the situation the way he did. I've become so completely sick with the way people will just bring dead character's back to life. It's like there's no lasting consequences, and nothing really matters. Salvatore never seemed hesitant to make things matter in his books. And if Wulfgar had just...more
Book 13 of the Legend of Drizzt brings the series to a close in an excellent fashion. It was great seeing the Companions of the Hall come back together again, and I felt the writing of Salvatore here was better than in the previous two books. Sea of Swords is a fast read and a nice completion to the base Drizzt series. While the entire series is "light" compared to the more "epic" fantasy out there, I really enjoyed reading it and would suggest it to others who enjoy the f...more
This story seems very generic to me. I was so very excited to have Drizzt back and his adventures, and this novel did not live up to my expectations. It is good to know that the five champions are reuniting themselves, and it does offer definate closure. The best surprise was finding out why the elf had such a desperate hatred toward Drizzt. To me, it is an "Early Winter", not "Sea of Swords".

This was actually a pretty quick read. Fun!
As the conclusion of a trilogy (the other two books I read more than five years ago), this book brought the Companions of the Hall back together again. So it was a big collection of storyline resolutions. Oh, and some fun fighting scenes, too. [grin]
Not a lot of emotional drama; very little character growth; this book was all about plot.

Beware the political correctness, from mild misandry to pontificant philosophy (anatopisms from our world, thinly disguised as "problems" in Faerun) to implementing irrational devices of 3rd Edition D&D rules. Salvatore continues to repeat dialog and plot currents for the slow-witted, probably frustrating the majority of fantasy-genre readers.

Had the potential for greatness. The Ellifain story could have made this one of the best Drizzt books in the series, and I was so hyped to read it. Instead we get giant pirate ogres with magic potions. As Crixus so elegantly put it, What is this ****?

The best Drizzt Do'Urden story yet, in my opinion. Salvatore's writing evolved so much since his first "Forgotten Realms" book, it's like night and day. This book was actually really well written and I liked all the storylines that he had woven together here. I especially enjoyed the scenes Robillard and Wulfgar had together - they weren't really friends and yet they were. Another thing I enjoyed was how brave Regis turned out to be. A really good book.
Drizzt returns, as does Deudermont the great sea captain. Capping off the series, this book ties off a lot of loose ends while making more loose ends. This isn't the last we'll see of Drizzt, thats for certain.

A happy ending? Not really an ending at all. The usual high-paced fantasy action from Salvatore, underpinned with human depth and the struggle for survival.
this book is cool
especially drizzit
im just mad that he had to die in the long drow
but the series is good
So-so book. Pretty slow at times. A few good action scenes here and there but nothing spectacular.
not as good as some of the other Drizzit books, but i still liked it.
I love Drizzt. Enough said.
If you want a summary of the book, read one of the other reviews.
This was my favorite of the four of this series. While I liked reading the stories about Wulfgar, Entreri, and Cadderly; the beat stories are about Drizzt. This one wraps up the four books, resolving Wulfgars conflict, introducting (possibly destroying) another villian, this time a female pirate. Another epic battle for Drizzt, although the ending was a bit on the rushed side. This one was the only 5 star of the series.

Finally finished book 13.. going to take a break from drizzt for now..
Disjointed and overly long, here we see how the Companions of the Hall are re-united with the help of old acquaintances.

This is the first time I've moved something from the to-read to the currently reading list. More than halfway through and the book is smoking right along...
Well I finished it and it rocked. Fortunately I had the foresight to reserve the next one before getting this one done. I just gotta wait until it gets to my library.
One saga ends and another begins with many books still to come!

Never cared too much about going to sea and I wasn't sure I would like this book because of Drizzt being on a ship, but it was, as usual for Salvatore, an excellent read. I gobbled it up like sweet sweet candy!

I haven't started this one yet but I'm sure it will be great seeing as how every book before it was great.

“Hindsight, I think, is a useless tool. We, each of us, are at a place in our lives because of innumerable circumstances, and we, each of us, have a responsibility (if we do not like where we are) to move along life's road, to find a better path if this one does not suit, or to walk happily along this one if it is indeed our life's way. Changing even the bad things that have gone before would fundamentally change who we are, and whether or not that would be a good thing, I believe, it is impossible to predict.
So I take my past experiences... and try to regret nothing.
