I'm not sure why I keep trying to read anthologies. Short stories really aren't my thing. I may have enjoyed this more if I was familiar with Drizzt. I had no background in the storyline. There were some stories I liked, but quite a few were a bit droll.Part of the problem were the narrators. Just because you're a famous actor doesn't mean you can read a book. Again, some did a great job and others were stilted in their reading.I had read about half of these when they were originally released in various anthologies (Realms of Valor, Realms of Infamy, Realms of Magic, etc). They are some of the best stories by Salvatore! He somehow manages to build into these tiny stories the emotion and intensity of all of his novels and trilogies. You get to see the origin or Guenhwyvar, patient Zhengyi building his army of dracoliches, Bruenor earning his axe's first notch, and Entreri's ascension as an assassin (before he's even a
This is a collection of short stories about Drizzt and other characters from the books of R. A. Salvatore. These stories are okay, but most of them centre around a battle or fight and this becomes a bit monotonous after the first three or four. There were some non-combat material that added a bit of interest. Readers who are not familiar with R. A Salvatore's books might find themselves a bit lost as the majority of the stories feature characters from the books. The last story was probably the
The Legend of Drizzt Anthology: The Collected Stories by R. A. SalvatoreThe Legend of Drizzt Anthology: The Collected Stories was released February 2011 and published by Wizards of the Coast LLC. This anthology was edited by Philip Athans. The anthology contains all the short stories that R. A. Salvatore has written that are set in the Forgotten Realms and concern the popular character Drizzt Do'Urden and companions. This anthology is set in the Forgotten Realms setting of Dungeons and Dragons.
I listened to this in the car while on vacation. Some of the stories were quite entertaining, while others were rather boring. The writing style was a bit lacking to me, without a whole lot of character development and there were also some fight scenes that could have been very exciting, but were completely dull because of the way they were written. However I am aware these are short stories that tie into several books which I have not read, so I'm not going to be too overly critical of them.
While 14-year old me loved Salvatore, 29 year old me finds it too simplistic, a bit too hamfisted and a bit boring. The all-star cast narrating this was kinda fun - Ice-T was actually surprisingly good, and Weird Al was fun. In the end, a bit underwhelming.
