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 fantasy genre. Overall,...more
With Sea of Swords Salvatore returns to the story of Drizzt and his companions. Drizzt, Catti-Brie, Regis, and Bruenor have returned to Icewind Dale. They still miss Wulfgar, but have found other things to occupy them. While Bruenor has reopened his old mines Regis has once again made his way to the Council. Drizzt and Catti-Brie have taken up hunting the bandits that are plaguing the caravans from Icewind Dale to Luskan. After defeating one of the bandit groups they capture a bandit who has a b...more
After reading The DarkElf Trilogy, The Icewind Dale Trilogy and the Legacy of the Drow quadrology I read the the Path of Darkness books where the Sea of Swords is the last one. I remember reading The Silent Blade and Servant of the Shard but I remember as well giving up on Spine of the World twice. Since it was a book about Wulfgar I gave up and after a couple of years I started again and quit yet again. I then began to read this one and it was quite good. As I remember Drizzt books being. In th...more
The fourth and final installment of the Paths of Darkness series. I was very glad that they got the crew back together for this one. The second book focused on Wulfgar, while the third focused on Artemis Entreri and Jarlaxle. This fourth book once again has Drizzt in it, which is a definite plus. This book chronicles the group's quest to retrieve Wulfgar's warhammer, Aegis-Fang, from the pirate Sheila Kree. It's fast paced and full of action like all the rest of the series, and brings in a certa...more
Alright Mr. Salvatore....I'm yours once more. I was sort of angry with you for a while there, what with Wulfgar's douche-iness and the way in which the story was progressing. But now I see where you were going with it, and you ended this arc with such beautiful resolution that I actually cried at some points. I have come to love these chracters so much that at times it feels like I really know them.
This book was fantastic! I absolutely can't wait to read more of Drizzt and his friends!

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 ****?

This latest trilogy was pretty good. Not the best - but good. I fear that this series is getting more and more predictable as time goes on. At the beginning, I loved the main character Drizzt alone in the darkness searching for himself. Salvatore tried to do the same thing with the barbarian, Wulfgar in this trilogy, but only achieved average results at best. Good read, but I fear my familiarity with the characters saved this book for me. This, the thirteenth book, may be where I say goodbye to...more
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.
While Wulfgar slowly came to terms with his past and with his new life, Drizzt has to face a new enemy from his past. It is a simple story, but the characters are starting to get more rounded and interesting.
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.
Another fine tale of Drizzt and the Companions of the Hall. Not as great as some of his others, but still a good read nonetheless.
This is another great adventure with Drizzt. This book contiues the epic saga of Drizzt and his friends' adventures.
this book is cool
especially drizzit
im just mad that he had to die in the long drow
but the series is good
This one dragged for me. It was okay but not as engaging as the other Dark Elf stories.
So-so book. Pretty slow at times. A few good action scenes here and there but nothing spectacular.
Glad the group is finally back together... wasn't a really eventful book but still enjoyable.
not as good as some of the other Drizzit books, but i still liked it.
Great continuation of a fantastic series.
I love Drizzt. Enough said.
WOW! INTENSE!
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.

As one of the fantasy genre’s most successful authors, R.A. Salvatore enjoys an ever-expanding and tremendously loyal following.

“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.
