Great

The lastest one in a great number of book on Drizzt,and surprising enough I'm not tired of him yet! I read this one almost overnight, every entertaining.

Reveiw for last book in Hunter's Blade Trilogy.

As this is the last book the the Hunter's Blade Trilogy, and the story of Drizzt Do'Urden, this book lives up to what it's supposed to be: gripping, dramatic, and full of action. This book is all good because it ends how all good fantasy books should end: evil guy dies, and they all live happily ever after.

An ending, of sorts, but excellent nonetheless....

This book was a fitting conclusion to an awesome series. This trilogy began with an incredibly dark and foreboding book, and that sense continues with the final book. Mithral Hall, Nesme, and the other dwarven citadels are fortifying to contain the orcs, while King Obould solidifies his gains. The tension will remain for some time. It is exciting to see such a powerful villain in the Realms. Obould matured from a ravaging leader to a calculating king over the series, forcing other leaders to change their strategy in dealing with him. The Two Swords perhaps had the least amount of action of the three books, but still has enough to satisfy. I think the ending will provide interesting new story ideas. And while some interesting turns leave some relationships changed forever, the door is opened for future strife between Bruenor, Regis, Catti-Brie, Wulfgar, and Drizzt. This is a trilogy I will be re-reading time after time.

The Two Swords (Forgotten Realms: Hunters blade Trilogy)

I've read about all of the R. A. Salvatore books written so far, and each one just gets better. Some of the characters are riveting, so memorable and just plain endearing. I am about finished with the above mentioned book, and sincerely hope that Mr. Salvatore continues with more novels about the legends of this Drow (Drizzt) and his friends. Simply put, a spell-binding character. Well done sir, please don't let them die the writers death.

This was a great book so stop whining

Compared to the Grisham, Patterson et al books I read this was a great book. It blows away Ludlum and so many other authors. So why whine because he didn't pick YOUR anticipated ending? By the way, I don't play D & D but I think Obould is in it and therefore cannot be killed yet in a Forgotten realms book. This was an awesome book even by RAS standards. I mean you get DEEP into his character (Drizzt) and emotions. And there is a lot going on here in many sub plots. Some characters die, some find themselves, there are huge battle scenes. I loved it. If you want a new RAS book with new characters read "the Highwayman". It was incredible. Or pick up the Demon Awakens series, but don't whine if a character that you love dies. RAS has no problem killing off characters, but we are reading about the life and adventures of Drizzt here. So I doubt Drizzt will die in this series. Highly recommended.
