| Such a sad ending for the heroes in the story......*sniffs*......I say I would be looking forward to the followup stories of the two swords story. Hopefully something better. |
We have fostered trust, recruited loyalty, and gathered the faithful. We have trained thousands. Our legions can cover the land, fill the sky and travel through the darkness. We can hunt any and all that would deny our heritage. Now is our time, now is the time of the Dark Reign(Rain) of the Empire of Shadows.
- High Prince Telemont Tanthul, Lord Shadow

At the celebration of the Shinantra Battle victory when he revealed that he was THE Lord Shadow of legend. |

| I am a real Drizzt book zealot. And this book was really good, especially the orc part! Finally the orcs get a kingdom of their own! I have had a soft spot for orcs ever since I played Warcraft 3, and they are one of the few "monster" races I genuinely like. As for those complaining about: "where the heck did that armour come from?", I say this: Don`t underestimate orcs. I wouldn`t be surprised if the orcs had made that armour themselves. And to those who then say that they are only stinking stupid brutes I say look at the Obould/Gruumsh scene in the lone drow. The drow there also thought nothing was going to happen, but look what did happen! I don`t think Obould was made chosen of gruumsh or something like that, but I also don`t think that he simply received permanent bulls strenght and cat`s grace. I believe that gruumsh made him into something more than just an orc. Not a chosen, but something in that direction. |

I have to really agree with many of what's been said about Delly's role. I felt that Salvatore just wanted to get her out of the story and it felt as if he was purposely moving Wulfgar towards a love triangle with Drizzt and Catti-brie.
But nonetheless, overall I liked the novel. I still find Lone Drow better overall but this novel is not far behind.
One of my complain with this novel though, is that at the beginning, Salvatore kept reminding us of certain things which happened and he didn't only remind us once but at times twice and at thrice. On the other hand, he left out some bits of story threads hanging like the part where Bruenor tells Regis that he wants Pikel and Ivan to go to the Moonwood looking for help. |

It was sad to see Pikel lose his arm in battle. That will affect alot of his druid spells and his battle performance with his two handed tree trunk club. I hope they some how miraculously put his arm back by some healer. You know, I always thought it would be neat to see Drizzt get together with another renegade female drow and stir up some......trouble in the underdark. |
