About this listen

Join the world's most famous drow elf in the penultimate chapter of the Legend of Drizzt series! Spending time in the unimaginable torture chambers of the Abyss for even a day would be enough to break even the heartiest soul, and the barbarian Wulfgar was there for years. When he returns, his friends find him a changed man, and not changed for the better. But Wulfgar's road to redemption is one he must travel on his own, even if it leads to the bottle.

Great a Book but I’m burned out

R.A. Salvatore does a great job with all of his books, but after listening to 12 of his books in a row they’re starting to feel monotonous. I’m enjoying them but all of the books feel incredibly similar. I usually read/listen to an entire series such as the Dresden Files or the king killer chronicles before I move onto a new one... but with there being 18 books ahead of me before I’m caught up I’m considering taking a break. The only thing that really has me considering to keep listening is perhaps is Jarlaxle.

oh Wulgar.......

straight to the point. at the start of the story I felt sorry for Wulfgar with all the torture he went through in the underworld. Midway through the book I low-key hated him and wanted him to die post haste, but by the end of the book I was thumping my chest in respect for him because he became the Wulfgar I loved to read about.

Really Good

Really different from all the other books he's made but still not bad. I still really enjoyed the book even know it's not really about the main character!

Better 2nd time around

When I first read this book when it came out in hardcover I did not enjoy it as I wanted more Drizzt.

Now in Audible I found the story a lot better. The fiefdom story was more engaging now and the story of Morik the Rogue with Wulfgar was a decent side attraction imo.

The first part in Luskan and the final act when both stories emerge was lot of fun. I picked up on a lot more of the minor details of the lord and his peasant fiance. The love triangle story told a lot better in Audible than on paper in my opinion.

It is another part of Drizzt's story so check it out if you like him, but it only has the Drizzt recollections at the beginning of each part. Drizzt and the group are not in this novel.

Great series and author.

R. A. Salvatore has always and always will be my favorite author. His command of the English language and depth of story telling never ceases to amaze me.

Better than many have said.

The Spine of the World, though not an essential Drizzt novel is definitely necessary for fans of Wulfgar. There are several subplots in the novel that may not appeal to everyone, but I enjoyed them all. Step into the mind of Wulfgar and witness him discover who he is not who he once was.

Victor Bevine is excellent as always. He is the voice of the Forgotten Realms.

Fast fowarded through most of the side story.

I enjoyed the main story with Wulfgar but the side story with the pesant and nobel story was not to my tastes. I found myself fast forwarding through those. though I might admit it came full circle in the end and I really look forward to the rest.
