At some point I lost count as to what number in the Drizzt series these books were (mid 20s maybe) but it is the 3rd book in the 4 book Neverwinter series.
Essentially we've got Drizzt, Dahlia, Artemis Entreri suiting up to take on the Shadovar commander and Netherese lord Herzgo Alegni. They need to exact revenge and end Entreri's servitude to Charon's Claw.
Oh but it's not just that - we have the Drow (specifically, House Xorlarrin) trying to take Gauntylgrym and a special twist with a favorite character.
Of course there are numerous twists at the end to setup the next book.
If none of that made sense then go back and read the previous 20+ books.
Great characters, good pacing, decent plot (I was sick when I read this so it could be me or it could be the plotting wasn't as good as usual) and of course the usual stellar fight/battle scenes.
You don't need me to recommend or not recommend at this point. Drizzt has been around since the late 80's - you either are a fan or you're not. If you're a fan then this is a good one. If you're not a fan then don't read this (but really? why aren't you a fan?)

A great series (I started it somewhere in the middle).
A classic Drizzt tale by Salvatore, being an intriguing tale that keeps you wanting to finish the book in one go. As usual, Charon's Claw comes complete with descriptive and elaborate combat sequences worthy of any fantasy novel, but also with introspective insight from Drizzt's point of view. Salvatore's grasp of the balance between character development and a gallivanting plot is masterful as always. This Neverwinter Saga resets the setting after the Transitions Series and so leaves an element of rediscovery for the reader. All in all, a fun read as expected.
The 22nd book of the Drizzt series? Wow...hard to believe. But, the books continue to come on strong and this one was no exception.
Just cause I rated this 2 stars doesn't mean I didn't like it - it was a fun beach read that I have no desire to revisit. A few moments even came close to being moving, when bitter hardened warriors weep together about their past traumas. Sounds like sarcasm but that's high praise for a summer read! Come for the swords-and-sorcery, stay for the cathartic head-bashing-in of a vile rapist.
Probably one of the best of the Drizzt books by and large.
