Summary: Another Trilogy?
Comment: = Yes, We DO Need Another Trilogy...
Reviewer: K Gallagher from Honolulu, Hi United States
Rarely has any author, in any genre, created a series of such consistent quality as the Dark Elf books of R. A. Salvatore.
Even so, that The Thousand Orcs (the fifteenth full-length novel in roughly as many years to feature characters introduced in the Icewind Dale trilogy!) stands as one of the finest installments in the series is nothing short of breathtaking.
I write this review for the purpose of assuring any follower of the series who doubts that it can possibly go on for much longer that not only is this tale not showing its wear and tear, but, incredibly, taking full advantage of the ground gained (and, more importantly,loose ends tied up!) in Sea of Swords to
begin weaving something very new... at a truly remarkable pace.
This is the tightest, fastest presentation since Starless Night, yet its attempt to cover a broad scope of intrigue, action, and personal relationships is the most ambitious since Siege of Darkness.
The result is a nearly flawless creation that should set the heart of any true fan beating at life-threatening speeds.
What do you know?
We did need another trilogy after all.

Summary: Another Salvatore Masterpiece
Comment: This was the first "Drizzt" novel I read, and I was utterly amazed by it. The Bouldershoulder Brothers Ivan & Pikel are absolutely hilarious. We meet two new vilains in the orc king Obould Many-Arrows and the frost giant princess Gerti Orelsdottr. Racial issues also play a major role in this book, with the inner strife in Mirabar between the corpulent marchion and the dwarves, led by Torgar hammerstriker and Shingles McGruff. We get an inside look at Drizzt's turmoil over killing ellifain, an elf he actually saved many years prior. In Wulfgar, we see a man whose overcome both gut-wrencing torture at the hands of a demon and immense inner torment. My sole complaint lies with the map on the opening page. Not only is it not of the quality of those in Streams of Silver and Silent Blade but it is also some what misleading. other than that, an excellent(and well-timed given the surge in interest in LOTR-inspired works) novel.

Summary: Great Adventure
Comment: I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It was cleverly written. The adventure and action juts keep coming. I also enjoyed The Lone Drow. I cannot wait for the next book in the series.
