A question about R.A. Salvatore's novels.

[Medellon]

I just read The Dark Elf Trilogy and thoroughly enjoyed it. There seem to be many other books about Drizzt but I don't know which one to contniue with. Which book should I read after The Dark Elf Trilogy?

wow, I didn't know RA started back up the Drizzt novels. I have most of those books, but need to get ahold of the newer one.

Been a while since I read Salvatore, but if memory serves he did the Icewind Dale trilogy before the Dark Elf Trilogy. Drizzt turned into such a popular character that he felt the need to do the Dark Elf series to fill in the back story of Drizzt's life. If you want to start reading the rest of Salvatore, start with the Icewind Dale stuff and move along from there. They're vaguely chronological and will often reference things that happened in earlier books, so it's best to read them in order.

I highly recommend the Icewind Dale trilogy. I couldn't put it down when I read it

The dark elf trilogy though was the opposite for me...I loved the first book but the next two practicly put me to sleep. I struggeled through the second, got halfway through the third and gave up. Oh well.

The new Hunter's Blades Trilogy is kicking ass.

I bought The Lone Drow for my birthday.

the Cleric Quintet is another must for RA Salvatore fans.

Yes. He's crossed over the Bouldershoulder brothers into the new Hunter's Blades Trilogy.
