Review "Icewind Dale" Trilogy by R.A. Salvatore

There three books continue the adventures of the dark elf Drizzit Do'Urden, which Salvatore started in the Dark Elf Trilogy. This trilogy follows Drizzit on a series of entertaining adventures, as he joins with several of his friends to defeat an evil wizard and his army, find the long lost dwarven kingdom of Mithril Hall and travel across a continent to rescue their friend from the clutches of an expert assassin.

Because of the group dynamic between Drizzit and his friends, and the many interesting characters they encounter along the way, these books are better than the Dark Elf Trilogy. They are comparable to the first several Dragonlance trilogies in quality and entertainment value. For people who aren't big fans of Dungeons and Dragons style fantasy I might recommend holding off.

The bottom line - these books are entertaining and fun. They are easy, quick reads. (which is one the reason I put the whole trilogy in one review - I read it pretty fast). But I don't believe they rise to level of the best in fantasy literature.
