The quest for Mithril Hall

Streams of Silver picks up pretty much where the last book, The Crystal Shard, left off. Bruenor (a dwarven leader, by blood the king of the Battlehammer clan), Drizzt (a self-exiled drow elf) and Wulfgar (a young barbarian) set out on a quest to find Mithril Hall, ancestral home of Bruenor and his clan. Shortly after they leave, they are also joined by Regis (a halfling) - although they suspect that he is running from something, rather than running to join them on their quest.

Running he certainly is, from Artemis Entreri, a deadly human assassin, who is tracking Regis to return a stolen gem to the leader of a southern Thieves Guild. Catti-brie, Bruenor's adopted human daughter, becomes Artemis' hostage. To complicate matters further, an evil mage seeks Drizzt to locate the crystal shard, a powerful artifact which was the subject of the last book. Deciding that cooperating would be mutually beneficial, the mage dispatches his apprentice, a golem (think of a Frankenstein-like creature of incredible size and strength, but completely mindless), and a soldier to help Artemis.

The road for the four friends, then, is fraught with peril, fighting barbarians, bog-men and trolls to name a few, along the way. While they do gain some allies of questionable help, they must also encounter the extreme prejudice leveled against Drizzt on account of his dark elven heritage.

Salvatore brings us another rousing tale of high adventure and endearing characters, while introducing a powerful evil mirror of Drizzt in the form of Artemis Entreri. Salvatore skillfully immerses us in his world, and keeps enough suspense going throughout the book to make it very difficult to put down. Further, his character study of Drizzt throughout many of his books (this one included) brings us to an in-depth understanding of this complicated, tortured soul who has abandoned the evil ways of his people, only to have to come to terms with the evil of prejudice on the surface.

I highly recommend this book (although it might be best to start with The Crystal Shard for a better understanding).

this was one of the best

this was one of the best. written well with a great plot and adventure. check it out. very entertaining.

Wow.

Wow. This is the best fantasy since Lord of the Rings and way easier written. Though Tolkiens world is undeniably the best ever written it is much harder to read. Streams of silver by R.A. Salvatore takes you in depth in a world written in layers of imagination. Drizzt's unending strugle of who he is go's to the extreme whence he meats a shadow of who he might have been. This book is a must have for fantasy readers.

That's Amazing

First of all, i'd like to say this saga is the best one I have ever read. To begin with the adventure, the companions who set off for the mithral halls were wonderful, and Drizzt is more powerful than never before.

The landscapes are gorgeous as well as the Salvatore's descriptions. I'd follow the back cover advice: "If you read only one fantasy novel in your life time. Let it be this one"

Amazing story

reviews: page 1, 2

The epic tale of everyone's favorite dark elf, Drizzt Do'Urden, reaches new heights!

Drizzt Do'Urden struggles with his own inner voices, voices that call him back to the pitiless depths of the Underdark. But louder still are the voices of his newfound friends, and the dream that drives Bruenor Battlehammer on to reclaim Mithral Hall. Time and again they're told to turn back, that some dreams can never be fulfilled, but on they fight -- together.
