Being the conclusion of the Legacy of the Drow, the war is finally resolved on the Mithril Hall. I rather liked the ending, suggesting a new adventure ahead....more

Incredible, awesome adventure packed with movie-like scenes of combat. May or may not be like this: [image] Very, very good, but this book would not stand on its own well at all.

This litrpg surprised me with its evolving story and mechanics, and a main character that questions his purpose in a game world that maybe to him is more than just a simulation.
The writing is exceptionally well done. This book would be a good first start for any readers unfamiliar with litrpgs, but like a blend of fantasy and science fiction.

This book brings to question where Cadderly's home really is, and his heart for violence.
Slightly spoilery ahead:
While I found myself annoyed at Cadderly's particular spot in his character progression, where he comes to be fearful of death and any partake of it, I can see how this is just one part out of more where this young priest will grow.
The fighting scenes are stellar as always by R.A. Salvatore, and the dwarven brothers make a much appreciated return.
If you at all like Dungeons and Dragons, and a hero that isn't quite up for the task at hand but tries anyway, then this book is definitely for you. But please start at the first book of the Cleric Quintet series....more

I took a break from this series to give some other books a try, and so I could return with a greater appreciation for these Legend of Drizzt books. Sometimes too much of the same thing for awhile can diminish the enjoyment. I wasn't too thrilled with hearing more about Icewind Dale after the past book or so either. The squabbling of the Ten Towns just wasn't that interesting to me after awhile. Felt like I was reading more of the same.
Quickly enough in Streams of Silver, that changed. Drizzt embarks on an adventure, compelled by his close friend Bruenor.
Incredible writing style in my opinion, even early on. Always is in a Drizzt book by R.A Salvatore. His use of omniscient third person casts light on every important character in a scene, whether they're the villain or not. So much more of the story is unveiled this way, even though for the most part Legend of Drizzt books do follow our dark elf hero.
Partway through the book, the adventure really gains speed with a group gathered together very much like a DnD party. The struggle of surviving the world while being chased makes for an engrossing read.
Streams of Silver has left me eager to continue onto the next in this series!...more
