| Review # 1 was written on 2016-03-11 00:00:00 Kevin Salter While I cannot bring myself to read much of RA Salvatores work anymore (the Drizzt/Dark Elf saga has been steadily becoming more and more repetitive and nauseating as time passes, and I gave up completely after "The Companions" [in which all Drizzts' dead companions are brought back to life, effectively negating decades of canon!]), I actually found this series refreshing. While the Drizzt saga (obviously) focuses on Drizzt, I found this book to be more of an ensemble cast, where each character is just as interesting to me as the rest. Cadderly especially is a refreshing, likable protagonist, and it's enjoyable to watch him (and his comrades) grow organically in power as the series progresses. I was actually saddened to see this series draw to a close, and am eternally hopeful for more adventures to come for Cadderly and Co.!! |
| Review # 2 was written on 2008-02-09 00:00:00 Lori Simms Previous series The Dark Elf Trilogy, Icewind Dale Trilogy, and Legacy of the Drow. Though Drizzt is not actually in this series, some of the main characters end up in future series, so I'd recommend reading it before Paths of Darkness... etc. Following this series is the Paths of Darkness series. I believe that R.A. Salvatore is one of my favorite authors. I didn't realize how much I enjoyed the fight scenes until I read other fantasy and felt like the battles were lacking in depth and detail. I've read almost everything Forgotten Realms except the very recent, and would recommend it to any fantasy lover. Also, if you are new to fantasy, this would be a great starting place! These books are very black/white, good/evil. It's a fun read and easy to fall in love with the characters. |
