The Crystal Shard
The Crystal Shard: The Legend of Drizzt | R.A. Salvatore
Drizzt DoUrden has settled in the windswept towns of Icewind Dale. There, he encounters a young barbarian named Wulfgar, captured in a raid and made the ward of a grizzled dwarf name Bruenor. With Drizzts help, Wulfgar will grow from a feral child to a man with the heart of a dwarf, the instincts of a savage, and the soul of a hero. But it will take even more than that to defeat the demonic power of Crenshininbon, the fabled Crystal Shard.

Loved this book, 4th in the Drizzt series, but the 1st in terms of publishing chronology.

I think it holds up pretty well for 2018, save for some glaring disparity in gender representation - I think Catti-Brie is literally the only speaking female in the whole novel, and she basically has 2 functions - pointing out how great Wulgar is, and being rescued off-page.

Here‘s hoping a kickass female elf ranger or something joins the party soon :)

It‘s been a pretty slow start to 2018, a lot of my reading time normally happens on the train... but I‘ve been playing a lot of Nintendo and bailing on some so-so books lately. Drizzt has me back in a reading mood though!

11 years ago today, we went on our first date...and the rest is history. ❤️❤️❤️ (My husband doesn't read often, but he absolutely loves R. A. Salvatore and has read every book in which Drizzt is a character.)

I loved the first three books in this series so I was excited to jump on this one especially since it was the first one Salavtore ever wrote. Don't get me wrong - the book is fantastic, but the bar is so, so high after the first trilogy in this series. Make sure you read the first three books first because they do give lots of good background info.

Following "Sojourn", Drizzt has made his way to the surface finding a mentor along the way and making new friends who look past his race and skin. It's not long before his fighting prowess is put to the test in a magically infused war.
