Product Description
This striking new boxed set contains the first three titles from R.A. Salvatore’s War of the Spider Queen six-book series: Dissolution, Insurrection, and Condemnation. Each author is a veteran writer who is well-known to Forgotten Realms fans, and multiple-time best-selling author R.A. Salvatore consulted on the entire series of titles.
When the evil goddess of spiders stops answering the prayers of her faithful, the matriarchal theocracy of the dreaded dark elves teeters on the brink of ruin. A hand-picked team of powerful drow embark on an epic quest to answer a simple question: Where is the Queen of the Demonweb Pits? The question may be simple, but finding the answer could either save or destroy an entire civilization.

If you moderately like RA Salvatore's books..., Jan 25 2007
By Vexaluntil - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: War of the Spider Queen Gift Set, Part I (Paperback)
...you'll become fully engrossed in this compelling series. The series follows the journey of a group of drow from Menzoberranzan on the quest to discover the fate of Lloth, the Spider Queen. The party is comprised of high priestess Quenthel Baenre, sister to now matron mother Triel Baenre, Jeggred the draegloth and son of Triel, Pharaun Mizzrym, mage and apprentice to Archmage Gromph Baenre, Rhyld Argith, Pharaun's "trusted friend", Faeryl Zayvirr of Ched Nasad and her slave Drisinil, and the scout Valas Hune. (I think that's everyone) As the story progresses, other story lines weave into the grand web.Each book is written by a different author which I thought at first was going to affect the atmosphere of the series. Let's face it not many people can really capture the duplicitous and intriguing nature of drow. Each author's style is really what makes the series prominent and memorable. Each book was unique both from point of view and style. For example one book was told exclusively from Pharaun's point of view while another was from multiple points of view. Another cool aspect of the series was that the reading level was vastly superior to RA Salvatore's books. I love a book (in this case books) that makes me find the definition of a word while I'm reading and expands my vocabulary.
Another selling point is the authors are much more vivid and slightly graphic than RA Salvatore, but not overly so. Just enough to compel you say "wow what a way to go, very cool," then turn the page. Lastly and simply these books are a must read because they involve drow while not involving Drizzt!

This review is from: War of the Spider Queen Gift Set, Part I (Paperback)
I enjoyed all 6 books. If EVIL drow do things U dont like then remember they are not U . This is not a book about suburban fiction readers, or urban fiction readers, or rural fiction readers. I too hated to see a good warrior get his guts eaten by a half demon, but that is how it goes in the drow world. U should have see it cumming as the wizard had abandon him once before with out sorrow! Over all a good story about EVIL sophisticats back stabbing each other over power and position, kinda reminds U of this world. ;)
