I'm not sure why I keep trying to read anthologies. Short stories really aren't my thing. I may have enjoyed this more if I was familiar with Drizzt. I had no background in the storyline. There were some stories I liked, but quite a few were a bit droll.Part of the problem were the narrators. Just because you're a famous actor doesn't mean you can read a book. Again, some did a great job and others were stilted in their reading.
Terrifically fun, this is an excellent audiobook to tune in and out of. The stories are each about an hour long, which is a perfect length for my listening preferences. Some familiarity with Drizzt, Dungeons and Dragons, or fantasy tropes in general would probably help, but the stories do stand alone very well. My favorite might have been the first, wherein a young Bruenor, the dwarf who will eventually be Drizzt's best friend and King of Mythril Hall, and a few of his yet-beardless comrades go
Salvatore has definitely grown as a writer since his first books, his style is undeniably good now. And yet... with his growth as an author, his books lost any resemblance of hope. His old stories always seemed to end on a positive note, no matter how dire or depressing the situation was, there was always a light at the end of the tunnel. Now? Not anymore. Now it's the other way around - no matter how feel-good the story, it always has to have a dark and/or depressing ending. And it's just not
Huge props to Audible for offering this as a free download! And with an all-star cast! There are some really great voices in this collection, and although some of them seemed to struggle a bit with a few words, for the most part they did an admirable job.I have only recently started venturing into the world of D&D, so there were a lot of characters that I didn't know. I'm sure that fans of the series will enjoy this immensely. For me, there were some stories that were harder to follow than
I come out of this audiobook really wanting to read more about Drizzt's adventures. They're just plain fun! A bunch of these followed Artemis and Jarlaxle too. Also fun, but in a different way. Also, I'm not sure if it's that I've watched a lot of Harmonquest, but Dan Harmon definitely needs to narrate more D&D stories.
Good collection, wish I was closer to the material but you don't need to follow it to appreciate the content.
