great book...............

loved it. great book once again. love all of ra salvatores books though. good job

my favorite of the 3.

I couldn't imagine the charaters sounding any other way. this has many intense moments throughout the story and is very gripping. my favorite so far.

Great Adventures

The 3rd book in the Series, it delivers a wonderful closing and reality. No spoilers here, but a lot of stuff goes down. Cutter gets into Drizzt’s hands and it is wonderful. I am always intrigued how R.A. Salvatore brings AD&D spell mechanics and enchanted blades to life. Salvatore was most assuredly a Dungeon Master. A thought aimed at the obtuse and elite book critics, this is fantasy writing at its finest capturing a predesigned forgotten realms creation with stellar High Adventure. Some of the critic write ups miss the point of fantasy and a continued storyline of a created world. It is in the small details, the spell casting, the enchanted weapons, and then the story and characters. We love James Bond because of Q and his cool creations. Otherwise, it is just another spy novel. I digress. Well done Mr. Salvatore.

By the way, Victor Bevine rocks as the Narrator. He is critical to this story telling. Other narrators literally rob me of the Audio version. Fix this problem Audible! Nobody likes recasting and do not give a hoot about opportunities for other Narrators. I appreciate, and only appreciate, Victor Bevine. Cough up the money and give the fans what they want!!!

Good soup

It's good and the flaws in it are minimal made up for by the always lovely narration.

Let the mini lives begins

For decades we’ve all been reading about Drizzt Do'Urden and from the beginning we knew he was different from other elves especially because he left his people before he was 100 years old. In the terms of Elves this makes him a child and not wise in the way of the longer lived races of the Forgotten Realms. Now is the time for those lessons and where else to learn them? When your life has sunken so low it can’t go any further down.

In this book the author finishes the training Drizzt didn’t receive having left his people too early as well as ends this war! Or does he? I really enjoyed the lessons Drizzt learns throughout this series as they can be translated into our own lives. Lets see where it can go from here.

Great book. Great author. Great Narrator.

I'm a huge fan of both R.A. Salvator's books as well as Victor Bovine's narration. I highly recommend the Drizzt Saga to anyone interested in the high fantasy genre.

Skilled audio work

Good story, but it was Bevine’s work with the myriad of differing characters that made the audio rendition work

I figured out why the Transitions books have a different narrator

The three books in the Transitions series were released as audiobooks by Random House Audio in 2009, with Mark Bramhill as the narrator.

The first ten Drizzt books (Homeland - Passage to Dawn) were released as audiobooks in 2013 by Audible Studios, with Victor Bevine as the narrator.

So this was not a case of bringing in a different narrator to replace Bevine for the Transitions books. The Transitions books were the first Drizzt books to become audiobooks. Bramhill was not getting all the pronunciations wrong - when he read these the Bevine recordings didn’t exist yet, and therefore weren’t the established norm for how things should be pronounced.

Knowing this makes it easier for me to get used to a different narrator for the Transitions books. I still prefer Victor Bevine as narrator, but now that I understand that this wasn’t a new narrator who couldn’t be bothered to learn existing pronunciations, the Bramhill pronunciations don’t bother me as much.

great read

can you believe it 3 or more battles wjth the famed driw ranger and a certain orc still lives? well we shall see how the orc campaign goes next tine

Audio book review

Loved it! Pronunciation is perfect and literally couldn't be happier with it. Buying the next book now.
