I was given this book for Christmas a couple of years ago, and since it was a good friend I endeavored to read it in a timely manner. Needless to say I am still working my way through it. Mostly because I really had no familiarity with the characters and became confused and felt like I didn't understand what was going on. This is especially true of the first book in the collection. Looking back on it I am not even sure I can tell you what happened it made so little of an impression on me.

Previous series The Dark Elf Trilogy, Icewind Dale Trilogy, Legacy of the Drow, and possibly The Cleric Quintet (though Drizzt is not actually in this series, some of the main characters end up in future series, so I'd recommend reading it before this one... etc.)
Drizzt reunites to duel with his evil, arch-nemisis, Entreri. The Crystal Shard also makes a comeback and Drizzt and Co. must find a way to destroy it. Of course there is a lot more to the four books that make up the series. More...

Great series in a great series - I am a fan of the Forgotten Realms.
This series was interesting and continued the adventures of our old Friends, Drizzit, Bruenor, Cattie-Brie Wulfgar and Regis.
I went into this expecting more of the hack and slash mixed in with minor character development and moving the stories of all the friends along - and thats is what I got.
For me it did bog down some with the Drow elements, but it always does for me - I just dont find the Drow polit More...

The Drizzt series is fluff. Utter fluff. And oh! How I love it!!! I just discovered that Salvatore is writing yet another Drizzt Trilogy and I seriously haven't been this happy since...well, probably since Tad Williams started his Shadowmarch Trilogy!!!!

Enjoyed the 3rd book quite a bit. Wished I had skipped the second book (which isn't directly related to the 3rd book). The first and fourth books are about what you would expect for an RA Salvatore Drizzt Do'Urden novel, a fun swashbuckling adventure that isn't that deep.

Some of the best fantasy I've read. Follow the adventures of Drizzt Do'Urden and his posse as they attempt to destroy the crystal shard, Crenshinibon. Definitely recommended...Salvatore is unmatched in his story telling prowess.

This series is a nice read and it is at the standards Salvatore can deliver. Try not to compare it with the earlier trilogies of course or it will suffer a little.
The standard fare are all here: detailed action, great villains, the depictions of character relationships, and best of all, the re-appearance of Drizzt's nemesis - Artermis Entreri - even better, there's also Jarlaxle involved. Never a dull moment.
Overall, anyone who has been following Drizzt's adventures shoul More...

Great book with descriptions that would intrigue the least interested reader...

As this is 4 different books, I'm going to review it as the four since there are differences between the books.
See review for the silent blade, the spine of the world, Servant of the Shard, and Sea of Swords. I enjoyed the series, although I still like the original Dark Elf series the best. One thing that this does illustrate, is Salvatores ability to develop characters other than Drizzt. Having said this, I still enjoy the story the most when Drizzt is the main character.

As with all R.A. Salvatore's books, this is an excellent series. This set of books starts with Wulfgar's return and ends with him finding peace. However, not all four books are about Drizzt, Bruenor, Catti-brie, Wulfgar, and Regis, only two of them really explore stories related to the entire group. The third book, doesn't really have anyone in it aside from Entreri. I liked all the books, but I really found the third facinating given its intrigue and backstabbing.

Finally!! It took me ages to finish the book. Personally, I don't like it as much as the first ones, there's a point where you already know what's going to happen next, and I find the characters kind of annoying. Especially Wulfgar.
To be honest, what I like most about this edition is the book that tells just the story of Jarlaxle and Artemis. Definitely both of them are my favourite characters.
And Robillard deserves an especial mention.

This isn't a great epic fantasy, so don't read them if that is what you are looking for. The books can be a lot of fun if you like playing D&D, though.
This set includes both the best and worst of the Drizzt books. The best of them is Servant of the Shard which is about Jarlaxle and Artemis Entreri and ends up being the starting point for the Sellswords trilogy. The worst book was Spine of the World, which was about Wulfgar.

Back to angst. Salvatore was doing so well with his Legacy of the Drow books, but reverts to overstated morality and angsty whining on the part of his characters in this series.
That's not to say that this series has nothing of worth to offer: only that it is not as good as it could have been.

majority is 5 stars, but toward the last two books in this collection, there is a story element that seriously needs to be resolved. You keep thinking that it is and open the next book and voila! It's not. boo. hiss. other than that wonderful!

This collector's edition was four books in one. I liked the last book the best. The third was a tad drawn out in some areas, but still entertaining. Salvatore did a great job in pairing Jarlaxle and Artemis Entreri. On to the next trilogy...

A great action story again by R.A. Salvatore. When Drizzit meats Artemis Entreri the sword battles are the most amazing ever created. A great adventure as well as all of the Drizzit books are it is a must read.

Awesome series of where all the heroes tales interwine into one great finale.
My favorite of the bunch is Servant of the Shard which crosses over as the first book to the SellSwords trilogy.

Best fiction book in the entire universe... good versus evil, magic, evil elves - this book has it all. R.A. Salvatore knows how to produce crack in book form.

This trilogy dragged for me. I got bored with the non-Drizzt story lines.
