Okay, so there are four books in this series, but I'm gonna write about them all at once. The book titles are: "Legacy", "Starless Night", "Seige of Darkness", and "Passage to Dawn".
The first book opens with Drizzt coming back to see his friends at Mithril Hall(I don't remember where he's been). Cattie Brea and Wulfgar are engaged to be married (kinda strange, since they are both the adopted children of Brunor Battlehammer).
Anywho, Regis comes back too. But its not really Regis, but Artimis Ente...more

So, I enjoyed these books. Not the most intellectual, but for a fantasy lover that is looking for a fun but easy read, these are good. The fourth book ends without wrapping up all the loose ends, to entice you to his next series I'm sure, but wraps up enough to not leave the reader unsatisfied.

Legacy is a great collection of 4 books with everyone's favorite Drow Drizzt Do'Urden! Collecting the books 7-10 of the Legend of Drizzt.
Book 1 Legacy: In the first book starts off right where the last book of Icewind Dale Trilogy leaves off. The Dwarves are busy at work in there reestablish Mithril Hall and Drittz feels as if he finally been accepted and at home. However, old enemies lurk and threaten the Drittz and his friends. Legacy is full of action and in the end it appears nothing will b...more

Previous series The Dark Elf Trilogy, and Icewind Dale Trilogy.
With Bruenor back on the throne in Mithral Hall, Drizzt decides to pay a visit to his home town. Catti-brie tags along and after reeking havoc in the underworld, they barely escape alive. Battle again comes their way when the dark elves decide to wage war as pay back.
I'd follow this series with The Cleric Quintet. Drizzt is not actually in this series, some of the main characters end up in future series, so I'd recommend reading it b...more

The hardbound edition is by first real introduction to Drizzt and Friends' corner of the Forgotten Realms (though I've read TSR's Realms of the Underdark a few months prior, featuring a young Drizzt). Loved everything about it, the story, the settings and the characters, even the villains. And R. A. Salvatorre can write fight scenes.
A good series of books that follows the Icewind Dale and Dark Elf series of books. As with all of Salvatore's books, the writing style is top-notch and very engrossing. The first couple of books are quite different from the last two in that they are centered mostly on large scale war and the tragedies that fall during such a time. The last two deal mainly with the traditional characters and lacks the grand scope of the previous books. There are parts in all four books where one has to wonder why...more
A respectable piece of fantasy, Salvatore's Drizzt novels are fun if not particularly challenging. Characters have distinct personalities and sometimes defy expectations, though this is more common later in the series. Highlights are battle sequences and, for me at least, the 'D&D campaign' feeling.

This book is in line with both the icewind dale series and the dark elf triology, this book again has to be one of my personal favorites in the fantasy world. Anyone who enjoys epic battels described in detail will love these books, R.a Salvatore, you did it again.
Drizzit, Bruenor, Cattie-Brie Wulfgar and Regis. I put Salvatore up there with Tolkien and George R.R. Martin as some of my favorite Fantasy writers. I wish we could subdivide star ratings. Not a five but not a 4 either. Great books.
Never before could I imagine that so many things could happen in a four book set. So much story crammed into these pages. Even then, you are sad when it comes to an end. It seems like you can never get enough of Drizzt and his companions.

With these books, Ive never read, they are my husbands books, Salvatore is his favorite writer and loves the ones written about Drizzt. He owns them all!!! I eventually want to read them, but there are so many books....hehe.
Here are all those favorite characters from the Ice Wind Trilogy. This collection had four books that made up this series. Full of lots of those things you would expect from Salvatore,and his cast of characters you know so well. A fun read that went suprisingly quickly.
I didn't enjoyed this books as much as the previous ones.
The first half was nice with Drizzt and Catti-Brie sailing with Deudermont, but when they come back to the Icewind Dale is kind of boring...maybe because there are a lot of parts of the barbarians and I don't like them .___.
Personally my favourite part of the story is when they meet Cadderly *^*

i have yet to read this book, but i expect it will amaze me
a four book series featuring the adventures of Drizzt, the dark elf.
No real surprises here, just 1,000+ pages of vengeance plotting, narrow escapes and overly detailed sword fights, but hey, it worked for Robert E. Howard...
Update: Ok the first 3 books still get two stars, but "Passage to Dawn" gets four. Taking the characters back out into The Realms makes book 4 a lot more interesting. There is a great mix of new characters and some old friends returning, the dwarves and barbarians continue to squabble in ever more complicated ways, and Errtu makes a great bad...more

Fantastic book...
Meh, de rek begint er een beetje uit te raken. Iedereen is aanwezig en reuze stoer, maar we hebben het allemaal al eens eerder gezien.
good book
As always, beautifully written. Salvatore is always so eloquent. I love the Dark Elf series... can't wait to get started on the next one! There are words of wisdom in these books that everyone should live by. Love all the characters. Nothing but praise!
OK, techincally, I read these three books individually, and I read them out of order (there are about 12(?) books in the series, but I really think these are the best. Nice mix of simultaneous plot lines, some dynamic characters, and written for a very visual person, descriptive without getting bogged down in the details. Probably my favorite books in high school (that or Dragonlance series by Wies and Hickman)
The best book series I have ever read.
Not only is the writing style completely amazing--because of the beautiful use of short-clip-sentences and vocabulary--but the plotlines of these books are geniously written. Any Salvatore book is a work of art.
This genre doesn't get enough credit, and I'd bet that Mr. Salvatore can change that and put the Fantasy genre right out in front with Fiction and Non-Fiction. Read it now!

The best stories in the Legend of Drizzt cycle are to be found in this volume. Here we see all the characters grow, change, and learn. Salvatore seems to be working more on his own story here, and less on satisfying fans of AD&D.
The only downside to this series is that, in order for it to make any sense, one has to have read the preceding two trilogies, the Dark Elf set, and the Icewind Dale books.

It took me a while to get through this quartet of books, although I sped through the first two trilogies. I got a little bogged down in the first couple of books, but things got better with Passage to Dawn. These books are remarkable, and the characters and the storylines stay with you. Defintely would recommend these to fantasy addicts and those interested in a good yarn.
I can't get enough of Drizzt. He is a very interesting character to say the least.
FANTASTIC!
