R.A. Salvatore Question

Mark of Cenla · 03-29-2004, 03:19 PM

I am currently reading The Dark Elf Trilogy by R.A. Salvatore. The main character is a dark elf named Drizzt. I will finish the third book soon, so I am wondering what Salvatore trilogy or series comes next chronologically. I would greatly appreciate any help. Thanks.

I think it's the Icewind Dale trilogy, but you should probably check with someone that knows more about Salvatore's works.

Based on what I just saw on one of those "lists" at Amazon.com, I believe you are correct. Thanks!

You're welcome!

Melko Belcha, thanks for posting the books' names. I never could figure out what came after The Crystal Shard.

Mark of Cenla · 05-04-2004, 03:22 PM

Man! I really like these books. I read The Dark Elf Trilogy and The Icewind Dale Trilogy. I just started reading The Legacy of the Drow . I highly recommend these books.

Thanks again for the responses. Peace.

For some reason, my library doesn't have Streams of Silver so I'm still stuck after the Crystal Shard until I can find someone to borrow it from.

Can anyone tell me, do the Demon Wars books later on change somewhat, in terms of basic plot structure? It's simply that I've noticed an overarching similarity between the plots of multiple ones of his series. They all climax with good heroes killing the villain, in a final power struggle. This often is at the conclusion of a quest also.

It's not that I mind this plot similarity too much, but I want to know if there is much difference that comes later? For example, in Harry Potter book 5 J.K. Rowling broke from the normal tradition of her endings

in not allowing Harry to be the hero at the end.

So is there anything similar in the Demon Wars books, in terms of difference of plot structure and climax?

Has anyone read Crimson Shadow: The Sword of Bedwyr by S. A. Salvatore? I just finished it and I loved it! I'm new to reading Salvatore's books, and am liking it very much...

Lief Erikson · 07-26-2004, 02:39 AM

Not yet. Which series is it a part of?

Gulio, Strength of Many · 07-27-2004, 12:59 AM

Oooh! That one was positvely spiffing. I love Oliver! ^^

Anywho, I hope to be reading some more Salvatore. Hey! I'm a poet and I didn't even know it.
