Publisher's summary

Can the Crystal Shard be destroyed at last? Drizzt is determined to destroy the evil Crystal Shard, and seeks out the help of the scholar-priest Cadderly. But instead, his worst fears are realized, and Crenshinibon falls into the hands of the dark elf mercenary Jarlaxle and his unlikely ally Artemis Entreri.

The Silent Blade is the book that brought Drizzt back to the Realms, and was a New York Times best seller on its initial release - and has been in print every day since. Like the rest of the Legend of Drizzt(R) reissues, The Silent Blade features beautiful new cover art by award-winning illustrator Todd Lockwood.

Leave Out Wulfgar

As much as I like the Companions of the Hall, I really hate the way that R A Salvatore branched off on Wulfgar. I really don't care if he was corrupted in the abyss. I really don't care how he learns to cope with his PTSD. I really don't care about Wulfgar! I would rather that he had been killed off by the Handmaiden of Lolth and then that would have been the end of that, very heroic ending, we all mourned, goodbye Wulfgar. {snore}
The rest of the book was great, however. Can't get enough of the Drow, Jarlaxle, Artemis Email, etc. etc.

Great characters

The characters all feel very fleshed out, from hopes and aspirations to lows and desperations we all feel throughout life.

Another Awesome Adventure

A triple 'A' title all the way! I started this journey from the very first Drizzt book and with each one I listen to everything just keeps getting better and I keep getting more enthralled and sucked into this incredibly wondrous world. Practically every character that gets written in becomes someone you want to keep track of and remember, there's not that many books I've read or listened to that I can say that about.

If your wanting a lasting read and you can't wait to get your next fix because it's just that good these books are just the ticket!

Back on track

I was a bit worried from the last book that this series may have hit a peak a few books back. The silent blade showed there is still much left to do.
