Join Drizzt Do'Urden, the world's most famous drow elf, on his adventures in the Forgotten Realms!
Regis has fallen into the hands of the assassin Artmis Entreri, who is taking him to Calimport to deliver him into the clutches of the vile Pasha Pook. But Drizzt and Wulfgar are close on their heels, determined to save Regis from his own folly as much as from his powerful enemies.

Format:Mass Market Paperback
Read this years ago and recently revisited this series. One of my first from Salvatore and still a favorite. great characters and writing, and exciting action.
If you like books like this one, might I suggest another I've recently come across. The Unsuspecting Mage by Brian S. Pratt. It's another fantasy adventure sure to please. I highly recommend it.
Format:Mass Market Paperback
First off, this is the conclusion of The Icewind Dale Trilogy: Collector's Edition (Forgotten Realms). I would strongly recommend reading the first two novels in the series, The Crystal Shard (Forgotten Realms: Icewind Dale Trilogy) and Streams of Silver: 2 (Forgotten Realms: Icewind Dale Trilogy), to truly enjoy this book. This story picks up with Artemis Entreri, running off with Regis from Mithral Hall, the halfling, to return him to Pasha Pook the leader of the largest thieves' guild in Calimport. Drizzt and friends chase after Entreri to save Regis from the almost certain death that awaits him in Calimport. The plot is pretty straight forward, but there are definitely enough complications to keep it interesting.
I really enjoyed this book and thought it was the best book in the trilogy. The Halfling's Gem regains the continuous fast paced adventure that was lost in part of Streams of Silver. I found the supporting characters in this book much better conceived and interesting. The battle scenes in the boat and at Pasha Pook's palace were at least as good as any of the battle scenes in the other two books. Also Drizzt's attempt to find himself and what he stands for really progresses in this book. This continues in The Dark Elf Trilogy: "Homeland", "Exile", "Sojourn" (Forgotten Realms), which occurred before he reached Icewind Dale, but was written after the Icewind Dale Trilogy. All in all the writing in this novel has really improved from the first two books. This same quality continues through the rest of the Drizzt series. I whole-heartedly recommend this novel for the entertaining fast paced read that it is.

The final part of this trilogy doesn't disappoint as the action transfers to underground, astral plain and sea locations.
The characters continue to be developed in interesting ways and the action scenes are even more intense. There are a number of showdowns which have been anticipated for some time and well worth waiting for although the Dwarf vs Duergar battle at the end is hurried.
Looking forward to reading more books about these great characters both as a team and individually.

The Halfling's Gem was the best of the 11 Drizzt Do'Urden books in existence, mainly because it is the only one with any really good adventure aside from fighting. Read more

R. A. Salvatore did a fantastic job on this. Artemis Entreri was my favorite character in this one. The way that he described Drizzt vs Entreri and many other battles was amazing. Read more
