The Crystal Shard by R.A. SalvatoreMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
A close friend introduced me to R.A. Salvatore in high school. She lent me her copy of The Dark Elf Trilogy which I quickly devoured. Unfortunately due to the stress and chaos of moving from high school to university in another country I never read past the third book until I was home for the summer and found it hiding on the bottom shelf in the Fantasy section.
What?
The Crystal Shard is an excellent novel both by itself and with the entire series. The novel continues on with the adventures of the beloved Drizzt as well as introducing the amazing Wulfgar. It begins their friendship while they battle an otherworldly power that threatens the simple happiness they crave. It is a tale of good vs. evil and also one of breaking through racial stereotypes and discovering who you are as an individual despite whatever cultural background you might have. On top of this, The Legend of Drizzt is just a great fantasy saga in general. Getting lost in the Forgotten Realms with the aid of R.A. Salvatore will entertain you for hours.
Definitely read it, whether you're into fantasy or not. It is a must read.
