I've only actually read the first book of the Cleric series, it wasn't bad, definately interesting characters. I thought that the battles were a bit drawn out and overly discriptive of every action. But I'm not sure if that was just because it was the first book in the series and he's trying to get you used to the characters fighting styles.
I can say that my fiance is seriously into D&D and he loves the Elminster series by Greenwood and he really liked the Drizzt series as well.
Although I do find it amusing that when I told him about your debate as to whether Drizzt is EMO he replied "Yah...Drizzt is a little EMO" blaugh

Boy oh boy it's been a while since posting might as well start with a forgotten thread involving the Forgotten Realms twisted . I love the Drizzt books I read a lot of posts about the lack of emotional growth in the Drizzt character but you all seem to forget he is a relatively young elf. It can take decades to grow emotionally hence the slow change relative to the time line. The books are well written maybe a tad dull at times. Salvatore seems to be a character based writer and generally does a good job getting you to like the good guys and hate the bad guys. As far as Forgotten Realms fiction goes hes one of the best and unlike Ed Greenwood he is thankfully low on the random characters and red herrings.

i love Ra salvatore!
i've read the whole series and my fav characters are pikel, Gwen, and drizzt. Drizzt comes from a pretty rough place, and though he's good natured, he still has some characteristics in common with all drow too. thats why he's not as emotional. i dont like what happened to Wulfgar though. The last book i read though, they all were going seperate ways on new adventures, is there going to be new books?

I love the legend of Drizzt series, I have just about all of them. One thing I don't think I could do though is sit down and read the whole thing through start to finish the way I can with other series. R. A. Salvatore has also been working on a new series recently called The Saga of the First King it consists of the Highwayman, The Ancient, and The Dame (coming out in August). It is an awesome series, once I picked it up I couldn't put it down.

Did you like the Saga of the First King better---was it similar at all to the other one? I'll have to check this one out.

The Saga of the First King is similar to the Legend of Drizzt books in the action but the main character is more flawed and faces some very different challenges, also it is less of a "faithful companions" type story where the hero makes friends and they help him out on most of his adventures. I hope this helps.

I checked out the Spearwielder's Trilogy on Amazon and it looks interesting and not as indepth as the Drizzt stuff. I may have to check on that one.

I love Artemis Entreri, and Jarlaxle is pretty cool. Of course they're not really enemies any more so... idk the last couple of Drzzt books I read, it didn't seem like he was evolving as a character any more. Like he had kind of hit the limit of how much he could change.
