Forgotten Realms – Legend of Drizzt #13 Paths of Darkness 3 – Sea of Swords [REQ] – R. A. Salvatore Free Audiobook

Written by R. A. Salvatore
Format: MP3

Salvatore brings back everyone’s favorite Dark Elf for another installment of the Paths of Darkness series. The book itself was a fast read, as are most of Salvatore’s works, but it left me wanting a bit.
To his credit, the author resolved and wrapped up many hanging treads left throughout the series.
The characterization of the pirates was wonderful, but the opponent Salvatore lined up for Drizzt came of as a shadow of Entrari. I felt that he could have completely left this character out or developed someone within the pirate crew to cover the need for a dramatic closing fight (Salvatore’s greatest strength).
If Salvatore continues to write books with the Heroes of Mithiril Hall (which I pray he does), I look forward to seeing who or what he comes up with to challenge the party.
Bottom Line: A good book, and worth the wait. Even Salvatore’s B work is better than 90% of the rambling epics on the fantasy market.
