I am reading the Spine of the world by R.A.Salvatore.I am enjoying t so far.Post what you think of this book.Its also a great book for d&d newbies because it also has a trail d&d game based on the book.All you need to play it is a d20 die and a few friends.Otherwise you can use it as an adventure with your game.As for the novel it has all the good ol' salvatore guys.You know drizzt and wulfgar and all the others.Its been good.I have just started reading it and am not but a few chapters into it.Great book. |

Morik is a slimeball who would have raped a certain female character if Wulfgar had not stopped him.
Agreed, Morik was a reprehensible character who I felt was symbolic of how far Wulfgar had fallen. He went from noble, heroic, and trustworthy friends and allies like Drizzt and Co. to this scumbag. |

Another thing:
When I finish Spine of the world, is Servant of the Shard a natural followup? I seem to remember reading that there is something in between(?)
I really much enjoyed Servant the Shard, but the following "Sell Swords" series was a bit disappointing.
Don't worry, the link between the two is really thin. |

I am halfway through this book now and find it rather disappointing. Especially the parallel story is weak so far. The book is missing action and I’m getting tired of Wulfgar constantly struggling with his inner demons. Hopefully the book will improve as I progress.
I loved The Silent Blade, hopefully Spine of the World will live up to my expectations.
However I enjoy Morik alot! |

Its been years since I've read this one, but I seem to remember being pleasantly surprised at the time. It was a nice change from many of the other Realms books I read around then and finally something different from Salvatore. I think I can say that this is the one of his "surface books" that I have enjoyed the most. |

I second that. In Spine of the World, RAS actually did something new and different with one of his characters. |

While not strictly just about Spine of the World this thread discusses Wulfgar and how his character has changed, as well as where some of the scribes here at the keep might have wished the character to have developed.

It would be better if you perform a search through the FR Novels section for scrolls that deal with this topic, as I recall some scribes have discussed this novel before.
Use the SEARCH function at the top right of the Forum screen and execute a search for "Spine of the World" in the FR Novels section.
