The Legend of Drizzt Collector's Edition, Book IV by R.A. Salvatore
Give the gift of Drizzt!
Drizzt delivers the hated crystal shard to the scholar-priest Cadderly who Drizzt hopes will finally be able to destroy it–but instead it winds up in the hands of Jarlaxle, the last person who should ever possess so powerful an artifact. Then Wulfgar, mentally shattered by years of torture in the hellish Abyss, falls low in the streets of Calimport–so low the great warhammer Aegis-fang is stolen from him. And in the final novel, the companions are reunited in a quest for Aegis-fang, and peace for their barbarian friend.
This new slipcase edition collects the final three volumes in the thirteen-book Legend of Drizzt: The Silent Blade, The Spine of the World, and Sea of Swords.

About the author
R.A. Salvatore
610 books11.2k followersAs one of the fantasy genre’s most successful authors, R.A. Salvatore enjoys an ever-expanding and tremendously loyal following. His books regularly appear on The New York Times best-seller lists and have sold more than 10,000,000 copies. Salvatore’s original hardcover, The Two Swords, Book III of The Hunter’s Blade Trilogy (October 2004) debuted at # 1 on The Wall Street Journal best-seller list and at # 4 on The New York Times best-seller list. His books have been translated into numerous foreign languages including German, Italian, Finnish, Greek, Hungarian, Turkish, Croatian, Bulgarian, Yiddish, Spanish, Russian, Polish, Portuguese, Czech, and French.
Salvatore’s first published novel, The Crystal Shard from TSR in 1988, became the first volume of the acclaimed Icewind Dale Trilogy and introduced an enormously popular character, the dark elf Drizzt Do’Urden. Since that time, Salvatore has published numerous novels for each of his signature multi-volume series including The Dark Elf Trilogy, Paths of Darkness, The Hunter’s Blades Trilogy, and The Cleric Quintet.
His love affair with fantasy, and with literature in general, began during his sophomore year of college when he was given a copy of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings as a Christmas gift. He promptly changed his major from computerscience to journalism. He received a Bachelor of Science Degree in Communications from Fitchburg State College in 1981, then returned for the degree he always cherished, the Bachelor of Arts in English. He began writing seriously in 1982, penning the manuscript that would become Echoes of the Fourth Magic. Salvatore held many jobs during those first years as a writer, finally settling in (much to our delight) to write full time in 1990.
The R.A. Salvatore Collection has been established at his alma mater, Fitchburg State College in Fitchburg, Massachusetts, containing the writer’s letters, manuscripts, and other professional papers. He is in good company, as The Salvatore Collection is situated alongside The Robert Cormier Library, which celebrates the writing career of the co-alum and esteemed author of young adult books.
Salvatore is an active member of his community and is on the board of trustees at the local library in Leominster, Massachusetts. He has participated in several American Library Association regional conferences, giving talks on themes including “Adventure fantasy” and “Why young adults read fantasy.” Salvatore himself enjoys a broad range of literary writers including James Joyce, Mark Twain, Geoffrey Chaucer, Shakespeare, Dante, and Sartre. He counts among his favorite genre literary influences Ian Fleming, Arthur Conan Doyle, Fritz Leiber, and of course, J.R.R. Tolkien.
Born in 1959, Salvatore is a native of Massachusetts and resides there with his wife Diane, and their three children, Bryan, Geno, and Caitlin. The family pets include three Japanese Chins, Oliver, Artemis and Ivan, and four cats including Guenhwyvar.
When he isn't writing, Salvatore chases after his three Japanese Chins, takes long walks, hits the gym, and coaches/plays on a fun-league softball team that includes most of his family. His gaming group still meets on Sundays to play.

Salvatore's books never cease to make me smile and even laugh aloud. I was very surprised at how much mention of intercourse there was in this edition, being that the books prior were very clean. I truly do love these books, though, and all the characters in them, but gosh dammit Drizzt and Cattie-brie need to kiss for real! No more teasing!

I am done with Drizzt.
Why do people love this character and series so much?
I struggle to get through the useless events and being 'told' how much someone is awesome at something instead of being 'shown' their skills. This writing is subpar in my opinion and I just cannot fathom how after 13 stories people still read these books.
No more Drizzt for me, thank you.

This was a good collection of Drizzt novels, even if one wasn’t exactly a Drizzt story. The second book in this collection, The Spine of the World, does not feature Drizzt or several of the other main characters of the series. It strictly focuses on Wulfgar and new characters, who I personally found rather uninteresting, although they do end up having a purpose in the series. So I didn’t enjoy this collection as much as the previous three, but still loved reading about these characters again. The third book in this collection, Sea of Swords, was really good, and reunited all of the main characters for some good old fashioned ass kicking. As we see so often in this series, Drizzt once again has to fight an unnecessary battle based on the actions of other drow elves, who he is nothing like. I’ve read 13 books in this series now, and the themes of prejudice and stereotyping just won’t go away for Drizzt, no matter how much good he does. Maybe someday. Overall a good read, though I wasn’t expecting a full novel without Drizzt or Bruenor or Catti-brie or Guenhwyvar.

Engaging, Exiting, and a real thriller. R.A. Salvatore's Book 11 through 13 is another amazing action book on the legendary Drizzt and featuring the newly troubled Wulfgar.

Still interesting for the most part. I ended up skipping a lot just to move forward with the plot. It ended on a good note, with the people in the right places. I just wish sometimes that Drizzt wasn't doing out of character actions just to move the plot along, whether through lack of intelligence or carelessness. I've lost some of my steam for the series and I don't know if I'll continue considering there's like 10 more books.

I was very surprised with this trilogy. There is usually one book that lets you down on every Drizzt trilogy, but I have to say this one was cohesive and entertaining throughout.
Also, I do not like Wulfgar at all. And thanks to this trilogy, Salvatore made me rethink my feelings about the character . This is why I am giving this trilogy a 5 star mark. It’s hard when a writer makes me change my mind about a character I do not like.

Another great trilogy to end the Legend of Drizzt! So sad to know volume 4 ends the Legend. It was a great finish with a number of interesting twists and exciting adventures for Drizzt and his friends. A fun read but sad it had to end. I will have to look at some of Salvatore’s other works and see if Drizzt continues in some other adventures. Enjoy! I sure did!

De nuevo, Timun Mas se curró una edición con una cajita de cartón donde contener la trilogía "Sendas de las tinieblas". Estaba más recogidita y ya.
La trilogía en sí es bastante dramática. No haremos spoiler. Creo que Salvatore quería añadir dramatismo a la ya fácil vida del drow.

The Silent Blade: Artemis stole the show along with Wulfgar. The Drizzt sections dragged a little.
The Spine of the World: Gripping, tense, forlorn and engaging. Wonderful.
Sea of Swords: Fine. Le’lorinel sucks

Very well done!

I've listened to all 36 books. What to do with my life now? I love 95% of them. There were a few that were meh, but still well worth it.

I enjoyed the series in general prior, but I couldn't get into this. Maybe it just got old by this point to me.

A fitting collection to show the trials and redemption of Wulfgar. Overall enjoyable, although the last book did seem to just be bringing together a collection of super villains to try and bring down the companions of the hall.
The meeting of new friends, reuniting of old, and kindling of romances are just a few of the non-battle related highlights.

I do enjoy the introduction of new characters - and the meeting again of old acquaintences.
