From Amazon.com

Think of it as Drowfellas. Backstabbing and internecine intrigue abound as the ambitious members of a shady organization (in this case, the dark-elf mercenary band Bregan D'aerthe) vie for power, struggle to fend off reprisals, and generally cause all sorts of trouble. Themes of redemption and moral metamorphosis keep the plot moving, accompanied by intermittent bursts of spectacular, cinematic violence.

The Servant of the Shard, the immediate follow-up to The Spine of the World and The Silent Blade, is the long-awaited exposition on the history of Artemis Entreri. But perhaps more importantly, Servant of the Shard brings us the brilliant, bang-up pairing of master assassin Entreri and Bregan D'aerthe godfather Jarlaxle, filling out a deadly triangle with the bloodthirsty artifact Crenshinibon. (The rest--more magic items, tons of cool spells and psionics thanks to Rai-guy and Kimmuriel Oblodra, cameos from The Cleric Quintet, and a blow-out finale with an ancient red dragon--well, that's all just icing on the cake.)

The big question, which hopefully won't have to be asked again after this title: Can Bob Salvatore really pull off another Drizzt Do'Urden book without Drizzt? Without a doubt. Anybody who wasn't won over by the Wulfgar-centric Spine of the World should come away more than satisfied with The Servant of the Shard. Grumbling and hammer-hurling (courtesy of Wulfgar) might not be your thing, but Drizzt does have an equal in Entreri when it comes to perplexed introspection and predictably dazzling swordplay. If nothing else, Salvatore is merely collecting on investments he's made in his previous 17 Forgotten Realms novels--after laying such a strong foundation with solid plots and characterizations, it should come as no surprise that we're instantly sucked into a story that brings a couple of formerly supporting characters to front stage center. --Paul Hughes

Product Description

The Assassin

Surrounded by dark elves, Artemis Entreri tightens his grip on the streets of Calimport. While he urges caution, his black-skinned sponsor grows ever more ambitious. The assassin will soon find himself on a path his most hated enemy has walked before him--a path that leads to a place where someone like Entreri would never be welcome.

The Drow

Jarlaxle has ascended from dark Menzoberranzan with only evil intentions. The malevolent Crystal Shard’s influence on him intensifies until even the drow agents he brought with him grow fearful. When Bregan D’aerthe itself begins to turn on him, Jarlaxle will be forced to find a savior in the man he’s come to enslave.

3.0étoiles sur 5 Okay...But Not Great., Juil 17 2004
Par Adam Gonnerman (North America) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Servant of the Shard (Mass Market Paperback)
Anything "Forgotten Realms" that R.A. Salavore writes, I read. Were this not the case, I might well never have bought, let alone read, this particular book. It has in focus the "bad guys" of Salvatore's AD&D storyline, but lacks a certain charm. It is hard to wish the characters well and thus be drawn into their story, and when one of the secondary characters that had been relatively important is suddenly and swiftly dead, one can hardly mourn. It is treated in the text pretty much as a next-to-irrelevant fact.

If you are a die-hard Salvatore fan, you'll want to read this book to keep up with the overall storyline and know what happens with the Crystal Shard. If you're not a part of this "elite" band, then don't bother.

5.0étoiles sur 5 MY FAVORITE BOOK, Mai 4 2004
Par "sephir0th777" (Landenberg, PA, USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: Servant of the Shard (Mass Market Paperback)
Ihave read every Drizzt book and this is, byfar, my favorite. While others delve into the Drow Sociaty lightly, this one is all about the Drow. This is the first book to feature my three favorite charactors (Cadderly, Entreri, and Jarlaxle) in one book. While you are looking at the Drow there will be new things you discover every time you read it. Also if you read closly it greatly reveals what happend to Artemis Entreri to make him "The Most Vile of Assasins" (see pages 107, 145, and 315/316) all and all, if you do not have this book, buy it right now. I can promis you that you will not regret it.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Worthy of Hardcover, Avril 29 2004
This review is from: Servant of the Shard (Mass Market Paperback)
Triumphant conclusion of Paths of Darkness. As the last in this series was much better than its predecessor, so is this. Arguably RAS best work. For a single book, I think it is. But as always, an existing appreciation for the characters will go a long way. I highly recommend this to NOT be your first RAS book. Go read the Legacy series first. And certainly read the first two books in Paths of Darkness before this one. Hold off on this as long as you can.

I heard so much about this book, I savored it by reading no more than 1 section a night. It was very hard to fight the temptation to read more. This is an extremely compelling book that is fast paced and still manages to provide quality character time.

Jarlaxle is at his finest, and a new side of him is shown. Also a starteling revelation about Jarlaxle at the end of this book.

main characters are; Jarlaxle, Artemis Entreri, Dhwavel Tiggerwillies
