This book provides some assistance to the imagination for those that aren't too familiar with the races of the realm, and for those that just want to get a visual look to some of the great characters. I bought this for my wife, and it ended up making her to go back and read the books just so she can build a new picture of the character interactions. I highly recommend this as something to have along with you as you journey through Drizzt's life.
I am a fan of the Drizzt series, they are some of the best books I have ever read. I highly recommended anyone who hasn't read the Crystal Shard pick it up immediately. Having said that it is no wonder I like this book and that I give it all 5 stars. It's great to see the many characters of Drizzt's world and a look at its many creatures. Warning! the book is full of spoilers! However, if you are like me and can't get your hand on certain books this can always be used to fill in what you couldn't find. It's a great book with outstanding art work and I highly recommend it to all Salvatore fans.
You don't have to be a fan to love this book but it does help if you know something about the Drizzt universe. Some of the incidental characters are even drawn in with small bios. Some of the drawings, in my opinion, didn't reflect the image I got while reading the book but they were still amazing! Definitely a collector's item and one worth perusing. The quality and effort of creating this book are very evident and the work is spot on with their information. I've seen some "overview" books before that have false information in them or completely diverge from the original books. This one stayed true to the material throughout. It was fascinating and well worth the money I spent on it!
I have read the first 10 books of the Legend of Drizzt when I was in college almost ten years ago. Now I am planning to read the rest of the story.I was looking for online summaries for each of the books I have read to refresh my memory. Once I have seen this book I am super excited to have a book that contains the summaries of the first 12 books and also character biographies.The content is not very detailed, they are very short summaries. But I think, it is enough for people to remember what was going on and who was the XX character.I found the book excellent source to remind me the storyline and good for keeping up with the secondary characters I have forgotten.A good book to remember the forgotten realms =)
My husband has tons of Drizzt books and the only pictures you see are the covers. When we got this book I was so amazed by the detail to the drawings and background stories. That I am debating reading the whole story line.
This is a fantastic guide to all the characters, creatures, and places from the legend of drizzt novels. It has all the major characters you'll find that drizzt meets or are even mentioned as he goes through his adventures. Just about all the races of faerun are represented in this book. With most of the major characters, each have an extensive backstory, along with special items they carry such as weapons or magical accessories. Even if you're just starting out reading the books, or you've read them all, its a great visual guide to reflect on drizzt' life thus far. The artwork presented is also gorgeous and well done. I would highly recommend this book to anyone.
If you're a Drizzt, Salvatore, D&D, Wizards, etc fan, then this is perfect for you. It starts with a 2-page for each book with a summary of the book. There are also illustrations of important objects, topics, buildings from that book. There are multiple other pages after the "book" pages with other illustrations that aren't from any particular book.
This book is a great addition to the coffee table. It has nice short synopsis of each book and then covers nearly every detail you could want from regions to monsters and even other characters that Drizzt encountered in his current set of 13 books. It even has maps and commentary on some locations that would be excellent for any GM wanting to build a campaign either in Drizzt's wake, before or even during and allow those players to encounter the man of legend.
