I, in my stupidity, bought Gauntlegrym not long ago.


I shouldn't have bothered. I love the Dark Elf trilogy, and I'm fond of the Icewind Dale trilogy. Everything Drizzt after that becomes a bit.. rediciolous.


I think Artemis entreri was a fun character, but Salvatore took the whole "He's the opposite of me, so I hate him" thing a bit too long.

Salvatore is a hack. He took the concept of a foil character and handed us a textbook example with all the grace of a textbook author.

I don't see this at all. It appears to me that it was scripted as a trilogy and it played out as such. Each book is essentially one part of a three act play. The plot reveals are set up from book one and play out throughout the series to the very end in a very methodical manor. I think you are mistaking something.

I didnt like how in the end the two characters ended up being brother and sister. It completely threw me off and thats why it seemed to me that it was just making so she could extend the story a bit further.

Did you only read the first book? If so you should read further, that is a huge part of their character development through the series and that is not the final word on the issue.

Yeah I only read the first book because that turned me off so much. There were some other instances but its been awhile since I read the first book

I just finished book six of WoT - Lord of Chaos and just started The Evolutionary Void by Peter F. Hamilton.
