Title: Stale and Mediocre Conclusion to the Series
Review: Let's face it, R.A. Salvatore has somewhat lost his touch. As of late, his books just are not up to par as to how great he used to be. I think back on some of his earlier work such as The Dark Elf Trilogy and the Demon Wars and then I read this one and I shake my head in disappointment. Salvatore's Drizzt books used to be so great and unpredictable but now it's all changed.This book was quite stale. You had Bruenor on his death bed but yet the entire thing was pointless because you KNEW that he was going to come back to life. The fight scenes were OK but even those were not as good as Salvatore back in the past. Whatever happened to good old one-on-one fight scenes that RAS excelled in?In order for Salvatore to spice up his Drizzt series, he needs to refresh it by letting some of his main characters die. It is far past due for a major death to take place.Overall, "The Hunters Blades" trilogy was a poor series and nowhere near Salvatore's earlier work.
