I started reading The IcewindDale Trilogy way back in like 94'. For the past 20 years R.A. Salvatore has been wrinting/using the best fantasy char ever created.
First book was published in 1987 and he just had the 15th book published this year. heres a list from first to read to newest.


Heres the Books from 1st to Newest

The Dark Elf Trilogy
1.Homeland
2.Exile
3.Sojourn

Legacy of The Drow
4.The Legacy
5. Starless Night
6. Siege Of Darkness
7. Passage To Dawn

Paths Of Darkness
8. The Silent Blade
9. Spine Of the World
10. Sea Of Swords

Hunters Blades trilogy
11.The Thousand Orcs
12. The Lone Drow
13. The two Swords

Then a new one just came out
14. The Orc King

They are the best books you'll ever read. Theres also a trilogy within these about 2 Evil Chars from the books Jarlaxle and Entreri
Servant of the Shard
Curse of the witch king
Road of the Patriarch

The Icewind Dale Trilogy was written first I think. but Dark elf trilogy is first in storyline, it was the best.

I own 11, 12, and 13. I read half of 11, couldn't bring myself to finish it. It just went on for too long, too much narration IMO.

Sorry, not my type of books. And this is coming from a guy that owns every WOT book, every Goodkind book, Nix, Pierce, Heinlein, Puzo, Tolkein, Colfer, as well as the majority of Terry Brooks books.

I like the Drizzt series better than terry brooks, actually I think Drizzt and Entreri have the best characteristics of the antagonist and protagonist.

A short list of genre authors who for the last 20 years would wipe their ass with anything Salvatore has written.

Robert Jordan
Neil Gaiman
Scott Lynch
China Mieville
R. Scott Bakker
Richard Morgan
Ian McDonald
Gene Wolfe
George R. R. Martin
Erikson

This list could get MUCH bigger if I cared to bother. Message? Read more before you talk bullshit.

Scott Bakula could beat Drizzt in a fight.

Agreed, i didn't mind the storyline...But i skimmed so much of the narration that it isn't even funny. Its sort of the same with Robin Hobb and the Farseer Trilogy; much narration to set up the scenes.
