5.0 out of 5 stars Good book, Drizzt isnt even in it!, 21 Feb 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: The Spine of the World (Forgotten Realms) (Hardcover)
This is the next book in the series after the Silent Blade.
It has two storylines which eventually tie in to each other at the end of the book. Throughout the book, it switches between Wulfgar, Drizzts former sidekick and a woman called Meralda. Both are undergoing terrible torments and tragedies, Wulfgar is accused of murder, pardoned for the crime, becomes a bandit, is accused of rape, gets captured and escapes.
Meralda is a poor peasant girl whos mother is dying of sickness, she is in love with another peasant, but ends up engaged to the local Lord. Typical love triange story where the girl is torn between duty and love. It gets interesting when she becomes pregnant with her lovers child and ends up exclaiming that Wulfgar is the father.

Great plot, its shows how much R.A Salvatore can do without Drizzt. The only downside to this book is that there seems to be not enough fantasy in it. The sorcery and magical races could be easily taken from the book and it would still be a good story. In the end however it give a most optimistic outlook on the next book, where Wulfgar eventually comes out of his drunken depression and walks of into the sunset with the line... "Time to get his Aegis Fang back!"

I want to get the next book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Once finshed you will want to start again, 19 May 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: The Spine of the World (Forgotten Realms) (Hardcover)
Before I start lets got one thing perfectly clear.

THIS BOOK IS BRILLIANT AND DRIZZT ISN'T EVEN IN IT!!!

Now that is sorted, lets get on. No-one can possibly compehend what years of torture at the hands of Errtu have done to Wulfgar, but in this book we get blow by blow descriptions of just what our Barbarian hero went through, and its not pleasant.

The book starts with Wulfgar working as a bouncer in Luskan, attemping to hide from his nightmares in the bottem of a whickey glass, and by throwing troublesom patrons of the inn throuhg the nearest wall.

However he is sinking lower and lower, and eventually he even manages to lose Aegis Fang.

Framed for a crime he did not commit (against his old companion Captain Deurdemont of the Sea Sprite) he sets out into the wilderness, and begins the difficult path to redemption. Until he is framed for another crime against a young lady.

Great story telling from start to finish, and we end up with a hero stornger than he was before (and not just physically).

More books please.. and hopefully some reconcilliation with Wulfgar and the other hero's

5.0 out of 5 stars Back to winning ways, 29 April 2001
By A Customer
To be frank, I was getting a bit tired of the endless drow backstabbing Entreri-whining in Starless night, Legacy and Siege of Darkness.

In fact, this new book, mainly about Wulfgar, is probably the best book since the Dark Elf Trilogy. It contains a proper story and not endless excuses for battles.
