Liked It “For me personally I thought this was one of Salvatore's best. I have always loved both Jarlaxle and Artemis even when they were bad guys and now that he is developing their story lines I think it is some of his best work. Can not wait to see where he takes these characters in further stories.” see full review » see other reviews » |

“This, the third book in the trilogy, is not as good as the second was. R.A. Salvatore tries to explain why Entreri is the way he is, by going all the way back to his childhood, and the town he grew up in. Throughout the whole book, Entreri and Jarlaxle find themselves caught between Spysong and the Citadel of Assassins, but never really committing to either. Calihye and Entreri relationship is still ongoing. Entreri is for the first time opening his heart up for another, because of the aid of Idalia‘s flute. Calihye is caught between actually falling in love with Entreri, and her revenge for her friend Parissus, (lesbian lover?!). With the help of Kimmuriel and House Bregan D’aerthe, Jarlaxle tries to establish a foothold for the drow on the World Above. Jarlaxle claims Entreri as King Artemis the First of the “unclaimed” Castle D’aerthe, formally the replica of Castle Perilous near the half-orc city of Palishchuk. This not only costs them the loyalty of Palishchuk, but forces King Gareth to raise his army against them! Deep down I hoped that Jarlaxle would prevail, but it is King Gareth who is the victor when he captures King Artemis the First. The conversations between both kings results in King Gareth becoming a better king for his kingdom. With no proof, only speculation, Jarlaxle, Entreri, and Athrogate are exiled. I’m still very fond of Athrogate. He’s a great character throughout the books!”

“Wow! Artemis Entreri's past is so sad. And if not for Jarlaxle he never would have delved into those memories and discovered who he was. Now he knows what kind of person he has become, and he knows why. But now that he travels alone, now that he has left Jarlaxle's company, what will he come to? I have a suspicious feeling that Entreri's part in the Legend of Drizzt is not yet over. And just a quick thought, did Jarlaxle ever tell Entreri that Drizzt Do'Urden is still alive?”

“Okay.... despite being the Salvatore fan that I am... this book was-- sad to say-- a disappointment. I waited close to three months to finally get my hands on this book and conclude the sellswords trilogy, only to realize after finally reading it that it was bad.

Bad in a sense that I didnt enjoy reading it, plot-wise and story-wise.
Maybe Salvatore should just stick to doing books about Drizzt, Jarlaxle, the drow, and the underdark... ”
“I love RA Salvatore's ability to take great ideas and destroy them. The man does not know how to execute a good plot line, and his ability to develop characters successfully is marginal at best. ”
