The Icewind Dale Trilogy by R. A. Salvatore (2001, Paperback, Collectors)

... with R. A. Salvatore and the Drizzt novels. If you like the whole "Middle Earth-Forgotten Realms-Dungeons and Dragons" thing, just bite the bullet, buy all the novels, and read them in this order: "The Dark Elf Trilogy", "The Icewind Dale Trilogy", "The Legacy of the Drow", "Paths of Darkness", and lastly (so far, I hope anyway), "The Hunters' Blades Trilogy". All are excellent, but my absolute favorite has to be "The Dark Elf Trilogy". (And yes, even though it was written second, read it first. It's about Drizzt's early years and should be read before "Icewind Dale".) "The Icewind Dale Trilogy" is my second favorite of the sets. They're terrific! Great characters, great stories, unforgettable setting ... you'll like them. Go ahead.

I purchases this book after a recomendation from a friend. I was skeptical at first, but pleased by the end. The writing isn't going to win any Nobel Prizes, but it will keep you interested all the way through the 1000+ pages. I really liked the fact that all three books were included in one volume, meaning I didn't have to keep returning to the book store. Overall, I would suggest this book for anyone who is a fan of the fantasy/sci-fi genre, or just a big Salvatore fan.

As usual R.A.Salvatore out does himself yet again! All his books are very addictive and once you start reading them you just get caught up with the story and want to keep reading till your finished.

Great book, I love everything about it. Been trying for years to get all the Drizzt books, and now I've got the first 6.

Always will do business with them!! They sent the book in a quick fashion and also was as represented, acutally even better!!

I've been reading fantasy since about 1979, but only recently became a fan of Salvatore. Unlike "The Highwayman" or "The Ancient", which I enjoyed, mind you, but found to be rather slow, IWD moves along at a brisk pace! The characters are vivid (who wouldn't want to sit down with Drizzt Do'Urden over a cup of . . . well, whatever Dark Elves drink??) and the various locations are wonderfully brought to life. Unlike many authors, who seem to spend page upon page trying to convey to you that the forest is dark, spooky and cold, Salvatore manages to do the same thing with a few brisk lines of text. An excellent read for anyone wanting some high adventure!!

Not as good as the first ,needed better monsters to kill and bad to say bad. It would be nice if Drittz got a little elf love once in a while. Ending was OK but just OK.

This book is awesome. Three novels in one. What more can you ask for. A must read. Go out and get it.
