If anything has encouraged me to try the game, this series is it. If you’re into D&D, this story reads like an expertly planned and executed campaign. I also suspect this will be true of the final installment, but I will be taking a short break to jump to a few other worlds before my return to the Forgotten Realms.

While I didn’t read the first two books in the Icewindale Trilogy back-to-back, I’m suspecting the story is better when read this way. I connected with Drizzt then, but the primary driver for me was still the discovery of Catti-brie’s fate and how she might escape her impending doom. Unfortunately, I wasn’t too interested in the dwarf’s quest in and of itself, and the only time the quest became compelling was with the encounter at Silverymoon. What seemed to be intended as the b-story, was what I was most interested in returning to. Either way, I found it a pleasant switch.ĭespite Drizzt and Bruenor receiving the lion’s share of the action scenes, Catti-brie’s story was most compelling for me. After many lonely, nomadic years, Drizzt Dourden finally settles in the remote arctic outpost of Icewind. I’m not sure if there is less of it or if I simply adapted to Salvatore’s style. While I felt like the first installment had a touch too much backstory, I never felt overwhelmed with it in this novel. I never found myself lost in the chaos, and I was able to imagine each scene perfectly.
