About this listen

Assassin Artemis Entreri whisks his kidnapped victim, Regis the halfling, south to Calimport and into Pasha Pook's vengeful hands. If Pook can control the magical panther Guenhwyvar, Regis will die in a real game of cat and mouse.

Using an enchanted mask, dark elf Drizzt Do'Urden hides his heritage and races with the barbarian Wulfgar to save their light-fingered friend. An unexpected ally arrives just as Entreri springs a trap. But can Regis survive unscathed?

The companions from Icewind Dale battle pirates on the famed Sword Coast, brave the deserts of Calimshan, and fight monsters from other planes to rescue their friend…and themselves.

Perfect end to a series

The first two books of this trilogy were unsubtly hinting that the plot of this one would happen.
It isn't like there was any sort of over-arcing plot to the three books that would normally be implied by the term "trilogy". This book is more like tying up a loose end that was deliberately left loose to be tied up here... and giving a bit more screen-time to Drizzt's evil-opposite nemesis for no better reason than just to give Drizzt more things to angst over than just the colour of his skin.

It is a generic chase-plot. More disposable characters come and go. RAS once again writes a ridiculously boring sequence of events so immediately explained that predictability doesn't even have to factor into it. I'm not even entirely sure what happened at the end because it was just so asinine by that point that I couldn't bring myself to care. A wedding or a big gay orgy or something. I don't know. If as much time was given to finishing up the plot adequately as to writing out crappy combat scenes, maybe this wouldn't be such a disaster.


At some level I do wonder if R.A.Salvatore ever learnt "show, don't tell" ... but I'm just not willing to give these awful books any more chances. I'm not willing to wade through any more terrible stories badly narrated in the hopes that they might get better. There are actual, genuinely good fantasy books out there I could be listening to instead of this atrocious tripe.

So how many not-actually-dead characters now?
