The Halfling's Gem (2023 Rerelease) Cover Art by Anna Podedworna

[steamclouds]

I regularly think about this. It's so random and out of the blue. My favourite item in Forgotten Realms lore, the heart-shaped locket of friendship.

(Excerpt from R.A. Salvatore's The Halfling's Gem)

Icewind Dale Trilogy

I feel like, for most people, this is the trilogy that started their fantasy reading lives. Or their Forgotten Realms reading... At least their Drizzt reading. This whole series is genius and what a trilogy it is.

Legend of Drizzt: Halflings gem Sketches

[itswrenly]

Artemis Entreri is such a theatre kid. This man cut off his captive’s pinky, assassinated an entire ship’s worth of people, and then woke up the captain and hung him up by the ankle so he could watch his ship burn down.

All I’m saying is he would’ve been a fucking menace in a highschool theatre class

I'm reading the Drizzt series and seriously enjoying it, I'm on The Halflings Gem right now! I knew how cool Drizzt was going to be but I've grown incredibly fond of all these characters.

Did someone say Hermit ladies D&D AU? No? Too bad I did it anyways.

a heart shaped locket lmfao

[petras-drizzt-corner]

so I finished the Halfling's gem

and hooo boy. Spoilers below, friends!

my rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (knocked down from 5 stars because of Catti and Wulfgar)

ok so Catti-Brie and Wulfgar are a THING??? NO! YOU ARE CHILDREN AND THIS IS NOT OK!!!! but Drizzt and Artemis... gosh they need to kiss like this isn't ok

anyways, on a more serious note concerning the book, let's talk about Regis' character arc. I just found it utterly heartwarming to watch him grow throughout Streams of Silver but especially this book. We really see him begin to understand the concept that his actions have consequences, and we watch him take this information and mature from it. He really grows from a cowardly, self-centered character to someone far more introspective and understanding who isn't so focused on himself. Of course, he's still our silly little Rumblebelly. But his arc was amazing, and a tear or two may have been shed :D

That's all from me! What do you think of our halfling friend, and what rating do you give this novel? -Petra !

she met him when she was 11, and at this point she is at most 20

this is before the backstory rewrite, so he is still about 200 years old

😬

How is everything funnier when Artemis Entreri is in it? (Legend of Drizzt: Streams of Silver Comic Sketches)

[banished-away]

tbh there's a conversation later on in the two swords where catti admits she left her answer to wulfgar's question deliberately vague to test his reaction, and also because she felt foolish for not taking her chances with drizzt

Lone drow spoilers

Wulfgar: were you and Drizzt lovers?

Catti-Brie: me and Drizzt spent years riding and sailing with Deudermont.

Me:…Catti you couldn’t make that sound any less like you were in some kind of pirate hunting polycule if you tried to that question.

‘We were Riding with Deudermont’ should become code to being lovers
