Big fan of the way Artemis fighting with Charon's Claw is described in the Sellswords Trilogy

i just finished The Crystal Shard, my first book in The Legend of Drizzt series and i really enjoyed it. the writing style is simple and straightforward, which keeps the narrative accessible and fast-paced. the worldbuilding isn't super original or groundbreaking, but it works very well as a backdrop for this story. but in truth, what really made the book stand out for me were the characters! their personalities and the interactions between them constantly surprised me with the emotional intensity, (especially Drizzt that has the potential to become one of my favorite characters), they’re engaging and well-crafted, and the book won me over quickly making this a really fun and enjoyable reading experience, despite, or even because of, the more basic elements.

⭐️ 4.0

The last book I read in 2024 was Homeland by R. A. Salvatore. It's safe to say that I've become a fan of The Legend of Drizzt series. I finished the Dark Elf trilogy and am hoping to read the Icewind Dale trilogy soon. I'm particularly happy right now because I just acquired a hardcover collector's edition of Legacy of the Drow.

Reading R. A Salvatore books are very frustrating.

Why are they so good?! How am I able to concentrate on the story for chapters on end?

The last hundred or so books I've read have all been 40k/black library, and while I love the characters and the plot, boy, can they be a slog sometimes. I have at moments started to question my ability to even read anymore.

Im not gonna stop reading 40k, but boy do I wish they had more talented writers. (or at least a few more editors 😅)

“Drizzt had always suspected it, but now it was confirmed, that “welcome” was his favorite word in the Common Tongue, and a word, he understood, with no equivalent in the language of the drow.”

I will say, while my close companionship with Artemis is a treasure of mine, it seems rather expanded in the “fanfic” culture. Many of you are rather creative. I have more variety to read than past opportunities. What is lacking is my time with so many others. Where are the Dragon Sisters?! And the intimacy of Kimmuriel? And while on Toril I missed my opportunities early on with Zaknafein, I cannot deny the desire!

For his sake, I am glad there are not too many of him. Fitting his personality to words is quite a challenge, so much so that author Salvatore seems to have abandoned it. Where are all of the interactions between him and his son? His granddaughter? You mean to tell me mister Dad is content to let be on his legacy?

The cat is out of the bag, as you say, and she is pissed. (So is Drizzt for that matter; how dare anyone bag dear Guenhwyvar!) I stopped reading those books because I deviate so greatly from the later ones. Who wants memories of a worse version of themselves doing things you wouldn’t in a land where all your other friends are (even if they do not behave as you remember)?

I have opinions, and I have met some good friends here in Earth who have shown me the values of Empathy and the potential devastating repercussions of consequence. I let my true friends in, and hide far less than I used to. True friends pry when their companions behave concerningly.

So here I am! A reformed mercenary leader devoting himself to bettering the circumstances of his friends!

And the Cataclysm that brought me here brought a few others with me. I do not intend to fail Zaknafein again. His is a heart worth defending.

And tending, if he will have me.
