This difference is significant to Drizzt, because Catti-brie is only human. From Publishers Weekly At the start of bestseller Salvatore's second book in his Tolkienesque fantasy trilogy (after 2002's The Thousand Orcs), hordes of orcs, led by cruel King Obould Many-Arrows, sweep down mechanically and unexcitingly on beleaguered dwarves. The usual fantasy suspects-gnomes, trolls, elves, flying horses, unicorns, giants-crowd the pages, but the author does at times rise above cliche, and a few characters do achieve some complexity. Fans will eagerly await further developments in volume three. Obould actually speaks of economics, while an elf, Innovindel, having lost her mate in battle, talks pensively of the centuries of her life, in contrast to the paltry
He has published numerous Forgotten Realms novels with Wizards of the Coast, Inc., most of which have been New York Times best-sellers. He is also known as the best-selling author of the Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones novelization from Del Rey.. R.A. Salvatore was born in Massachusetts and still makes his home there
"The Hunter's Blades," Book II -- "The Lone Drow," book two in R.A. Salvatore's "The Hunter's Blades" trilogy, is the fourteenth novel that prominently features renegade dark elf Drizzt Do'Urden, but despite the title it is a surprisingly ensemble tale in which Drizzt is not a clear focus. "The Lone Drow" picks up where its predecessor, "The Thousand Orcs," left off, leaving the Companions of the Hall and the whole of the northern realm in grave danger. An aggressive orc king is amassing an army of evil creatures to sweep across the land and subjugate its people. But this is no ordinary orc king, for he appears divinely inspired, even god-like.Th. "Plenty of action and generic protagonists" according to Spengebab. This book is much like your typical popcorn action movie. It has violence and action in every chapter but the every character is two dimensional and very overpowered. Every hero is basicly a one-man-army and rarely thinks of creative ways to beat their opponents. The story line isn't very deep so don't expect a whole lot of twists or surprise endings to the series. The storline also revolves around dwarves which I couldn't really relate to nor did I find them all that interesting but you probably won't have a problem with that. Overall the series is kindof fun to read, they're not painful reads but they arn't wor. A good read, it doesn't seem to grip you as Monty245 A good read, it doesn't seem to grip you as much as most of his books do however it's still well worth the time.
