Thrilling, non-stop action!

In STREAMS OF SILVER, Drizzt and companions travel hundreds of miles from their home in Icewind Dale in search of Bruenor's legendary Mithral Hall. Meanwhile, the formidable assassin Artemis Entreri stalks the party in search of Regis, the halfling possessing the ruby pendant stolen from his former guild leader. From a greater distance, the wizards of Luskin eye Drizzt, who they assume possess the Crystal Shard following the defeat of Kessel. These three parties intertwine precariously, culminating in an incredible battle with surprising casualties. Salvatore continues to demonstrate his exceptional storytelling prowess in STREAMS OF SILVER with intertwining, parallel plot lines, vast new landscapes and formidable opponents. You'll no sooner finish this novel and you'll be running to get your hands on part three (THE HALFLING'S GEM). An outstanding novel, "A+"

this was one of the best

this was one of the best. written well with a great plot and adventure. check it out. very entertaining.

That's Amazing

First of all, i'd like to say this saga is the best one I have ever read. To begin with the adventure, the companions who set off for the mithral halls were wonderful, and Drizzt is more powerful than never before. The landscapes are gorgeous as well as the Salvatore's descriptions. I'd follow the back cover advice: "If you read only one fantasy novel in your life time. Let it be this one" Amazing story

Streams of Silver (The Icewind Dale Trilogy, Book 2)

The fantastic sequel to The Crystal Shard is this book, Streams of Silver. Not only is this an engrossing read but it opens a few more paths for the main characters: Drizzt Do'Urden, Wulfgar, Regis, and Bruenor. The second book is probably the most important book because it brings two things into the story: the relentless and sadistic Artemis Entreri, an assassin out to capture and murder Regis the halfling, and the problems Drizzt faces with the predjudices associated with his dark heritage. These two don't seem that they would go together but as you delve farther into the book you see that they in short do. Not only has Salvatore out done himslef but he as added a couple new variables into this equation, variables which reoccur quite often in his other book series. Streams of Silver is sure to be a classic and doesn't dissapoint in anyway. A riveting story which can only be described as fantastic is ever present in all of Mr. Salvatore's books but this one takes high honor.It could be said that Streams of Silver is the threshold to a number of more thrilling and powerful tales. It is the true starting point of Mr. Salvatore's work.

One of the best in the Drizzt Do'Urden series

This has to be one of my favorite books in the series. While I can see where some people are coming from when they say that it does reflect the Hobbit in some places, it does not detract from the story. If you have ever read any of Salvatore's notes you will find that the Hobbit is one of his favorite books. It seems to me that he is paying homage to another great writer, not copying. Streams of Silver, in my opinion, is a far superior example of fantasy anyway. Drizzt Do'Urden has always remainded one of my favorite characters and will continue to be. Also, for those of you who complain about Salvatore's writing style, I have two questions, if you did not like the book why take the time to look it up and write a nasty (and often harsh) review, and could you, given the chance do any better?
