rhganci 's review for:
The Legacy
by R.A. Salvatore
*CONTAINS SPOILERS*
This one, surprisingly enough, was only OK. It was good, and the action was a welcome respite from the Jordan descriptions, but there wasn’t much plot. It was very simple, and served to set up the rest of the series, or so I assume. The death of Wulfgar was huge, and affects so much of the plot, and all of the characters, as did the blinding of Bruenor and the fate of Artemis Entreri, which was purposefully left vague for later stories. I was expecting, in Salvatore tradition, to have the last chapter reveal a greater and underlying sinsister plan for the rest of the series, and there it was, and Salvatore superbly knits together the Dark Elf and Icewind Dale trilogies to make a fourth series about everybody’s favorite elf. There was less philosophy from Drizzt, which is OK, but I hope that R.A. plays on the fact that Drizzt rearranged his vows by killing so many drow, as I hope that the foreshadowing of romance between Drizzt and Catti-brie won’t go unaddressed. I expect that when I read the other three, that this one will seem better; my only concern is that I didn’t pay attention to details I maybe should have…
