It's really more of the same, but anyone that got to book 13 should be well acquainted with the formular by now. The last two books of the series fell a bit flat for me, although I still had fun with them overall. The repitition of Wulfgars internal struggle became tiresome and so I took a break from the series. But then again, there are moments of brilliance from R. A. Salvatore and I was again reminded, why I come back to the companions of the hall again and again. Definitely better than book 12. When Salvatore actually lets himself inject humour into the narrative it adds so much. I still find myself skimming/struggling to mentally picture all the sword fights that get described, though whether that's my visualisation issues or Salvatores writing is a toss up tbh. no reviews | add a review

HTML:New York Times–bestselling series: Drizzt and the Companions set out to save their imperiled friend in this fast-moving adventure in the Legend of Drizzt saga When the mark of Wulfgar's legendary warhammer is found on the person of pirate Sheila Kree, Drizzt Do'Urden knows his friend is in dire need of his help. Thus, Drizzt, Cattie-brie, Regis, and Bruenor spring into action, determined to save Wulfgar and recover Aegis-fang once and for all. But the road to victory is paved with monsters—from goblins and ogres to Wulfgar's own personal demons. Meanwhile, Wulfgar is also searching for Aegis-fang. Hot on the trail of Sheila Kree and her new follower, Le'lorinel—a moon elf and a lifelong hater of Drizzt—he will soon encounter the Companions of the Hall in a startling reunion. Together, they will side by side in the last battle for Wulfgar's heart and soul. Sea of Swords is the third book in the Paths of Darkness series and thirteenth installment in the Legend of Drizzt.

An enjoyable read featuring some of the characters who have been the “bad guys” in the earlier Drizzt books (and Drizzt does not play a role in this installment at all). Focusing on the assassin Artemis Entreri and the dark elves Jarlaxle, Rai-guy, and Kimmuriel, the story explores the power of the Crystal Shard, Crenshinibon, and reveals how these players (and others) react and respond to its allure. Surprising changes result, especially in the lives of Entreri and Jarlaxle. ( )
