Drizzt book reading

[DreWalker]

I've been reading through the drizzt books, and I'm wondering if there are other books that tie into the series, and if so at what point and order to read them in? I'm currently reading "road of the patriarch". And I'm hoping I started them at the right time

[DM Silverfox]

The dark elf trilogy is Drizzt's origin story. I don't know how many you read so far, but it starts there and moved onto the Crystal Shard.

[DreWalker]

I've read up to the hunters blade trilogy, the thousand orcs. Haven't started -the lone drow yet, I wasn sure but I figured I would read the trilogy with jarlaxle and Artemis, on the second of those

[Storm Munin]

Well, since he is still writing new ones you have a few to sift through yet.

Homeland, Exile and Sojourn is the first triology, with Homeland containing quite a treasure within its pages on the subject of how drow "normal" society works.

As for the rest, well I believe there are closer to thirty novels by now what with the Vengeance of the Iron Dwarf (companions codex III) being released lately.
I was somewhat wrong: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Legend_of_Drizzt

Artemis, Gromph and Jarlaxle still making guest appearances.

Enjoy the good stuff.

PS: Still hoping for some Regis stew, I just cannot stand the character old or renewed.

I know of two. There are probably more than that though. One you have already mentioned is the Sellswords series (Artemis Entreri books) and the other is the Cleric Quintet, which centres on Cadderly, and introduces Ivan and Pikel. It's good to read CQ before Hunter's Blades.

I don't like the Hunters Blade Trilogy, particularly The Lone Drow (book #2).

PS. this thread probably belongs in the community section.

Oh great that's the one I'll be on next!

I feel the same about drizzle.

Before you read the newer ones like neverwinter triology read the haunted lands triology from Richard Lee Byers first.

[Storm Munin]

+1, but nothing about drow in it. Which is sad since there is a surface temple of Lolth in Thay


Drizzt has his moments, in particular in the between years, but most of the other recurring drow in the novels about him are more likeable this is true.


Speaking of drow novels you might want to read these if you havent DreWalker:
War of the Spider Queen sextet
Windwalker triology
Ascendancy of the Last triology

[grymhild]

Before you read the War of the Spider Queen, I'd recommend reading 'Daughter of the Drow' series



OH! - and this can be read at any time, but 'Evermeet: Island of the Elves' has a lot of stuff about Lolth and drow in it!

[DreWalker]

thanks again for the help, im now almost on the sundering.

this there might be a spoiler here but I feel like I must have missed one

Hidden: show

for instance, when did Artemis Entreri get "betrayed" by Jarlaxle and lost his dagger, also becomeing a slave to the Netherese lord?

Answer:

Hidden: show

It was meaned to be a surprise for the reader that Artemis still lives. I believe its explained later in the book "The Last Threshold".

[Storm Munin]

Archmage was a good transition read and Lolth is as ever such a dear homicidal sweetheart.
Gromph, arguably the most exquisite evil wizard in the forgotten realms.

Evil doth not always mean berserk.
If Jarlaxle and Lolth got children together id be worried for the safety and sanity of the realm.

Catti-brie buildwise is starting to frustrate me, then again writers do have their priviliges.


Yes thats right Drewalker, they printed another one.


PS. This one is for dwarfcharmers too.

[TheKai]

Currently reading Archmage and now about halfway through. I heart Drow.

Edit: I hope the "powers that be" some time in the future collaborate to create a Gromph/Szass Tam epic tale
