Jarlaxle is easily my favorite character Salvatore ever came up with and probably my favorite character by ANY author. He's just too damn cool. No matter what befalls him, he always comes out smelling like a rose.

I've never been a huge reader, but I've wanted to broaden my horizons as a human being and decided to pick up a fantasy novel and catch up with the rest of the world. I grabbed the Cleric's Quintet and I am absolutely obsessed. I think I've wasted a good portion of my life without reading these works! I am looking forward to getting the entire Drizzt series if it's anything like this book, or collection of books. Yay!

I started reading Salvatore back when I was 14, and I grew up with his books. Never have I seen a photo or heard him speak. To hear the stories about how he created the characters I've followed for so long is so strange.

I can clearly recall my realization of being able to watch an author develop his craft from The Icewind Dale trilogy. The first book was okay, the next was better and they just kept on improving as Bob found his voice-and that was a gift greater than any story ever could be.

I got into old school AD&D after reading his and Ed Greenwood's books. There's so much charm that was lost in later editions of D&D that remain in the older editions and the novels really capture that feeling of living, breathing worlds that remain grounded in true, medieval history.

Hard to believe that he came up with Drizzt's Name and Hometown just in a fraction of a moment without really thinking about the names. When I try to find "unique" names for my Characters I usually have a very hard time, depending on how "important" that character will be. Pretty much proves how skillful and imaginative Salvatore is.

I just finished the Dark Elf Trilogy, and this guy cannot write. But I'll keep on reading the Legend of Drizzt because I got hooked to the Forgotten Realms through the likes of Baldur's Gate and Neverwinter Nights. Still, I can say, without any pretension at all ,that I'm a better writer than him, and English is my second language. Yet I'll never make it like he has. Or like Stephanie Meyer has. Blah.

Of course he can write, but he does it very badly. And if you believe that he is a good writer, then the only books you've read must be his.

EniEvi Firstly I am sorry for flaming you, But you are wrong. You say he cannot write, then you say he can. You seem confused. Further more he is a N.Y. times bestselling author which is hardly bad. In regards to me only reading his books, you are wrong there as well. But you can't deny that The Dark Elf trilogy is awesome.
@EniEvi10 жыл бұрын
Golfwolverine In my initial post, when I said that he couldn't write, it was a pejorative term. In my next post where I said that he can write, I meant that he can put a string of words together to form a sentence. And don't be fooled by bestselling books; it doesn't mean they're good. It simply means they sell well, and in the contemporary society the taste of the majority does not present an equal evaluation of a book's quality. Salvatore's work is generic, with generic characters, generic story-line, and is derivative (The Chrystal Shard being ripped off from Tolkien, as Salvatore himself said). He uses the same phrases over and over and over again. The most eye-stabbing for me would be: Drizzt knew, Wulfgar knew, Bruenor knew, etc. Also, his lexicon for an author is average at best. If he's an amazing writer, then George Martin is a deity.
