Review of 'Vengeance of the Iron Dwarf' on 'Goodreads'

This entire series is one of fantastic authorship; this book is no different. It's one of those where the series could end if the reader chose for it to, but the very end hints at something even better coming up in the next installment.

Being the second in a rather interesting series, for the first time, it's hard to tell where the beginning of one part of the plot ends, and another begins or are they all woven into a singular plotline with multiple strands?

Review of 'The Ghost King' on 'Goodreads'

This, I have to confess, is one of the most adventure-filled books in this series. Tops off another chapter in the life of the brilliant Drizzt. Like many others, though, can't tell whether this is the end or not for some of the characters; the end sort of leaves the reader wondering, but then again, if you read between the lines, there are clues; people you think are gone forever must simply be in a different place, or at least one that isn't reachable by the human race, or at least not by anyone we know.

Review of 'The Orc King' on 'Goodreads'

As is typical seemingly for salvatore, this is another book that seems to herald both the beginning and end of an era. Though by the end of it, leaves the reader wondering which way things will go; particularly, which side is King Obould on?

Review of 'The Two Swords' on 'Goodreads'

It seems that the author loves cliffhangers yet again. And the even bigger question. Where the heck did Obould go? drizzt didn't kill him ... we know that much, at least. And Breunor ... I suppose we won't find out until the next book.

Review of 'The lone drow' on 'Goodreads'

Overall, you can't go wrong with this book; Salavatore's done it again. Though during the midst of this series, you can't really tell whether the events of this particular arc have ended, though it doesn't seem to, ending with the capture by a Drow of a dearf? Not quite sure where the author is going with that, but I have a feeling that this one's not going to be rescued by the rest of Clan Battlehammer. We'll have to wait and see. Nice cliffhanger, though ... again, just like in the previous book. What is the author trying to accomplish here?
