The chaotic duo


The unlikely and chaotic duo are once again together seeking near death adventures. Entreri is really getting soft from this new series, I think he's losing his edge from his merciless killings in the Icewind Dale trilogy to a very merciful attitude in the Sellsword series. Other than that, it's great to see Salvatore take a different direction from the usual Drizzt and do goody stories.

For the first time in the books that I've read, the story has introduced half-orcs and a half-elf who have added some spice to the usual cast of characters. The strength of powerful wizards are also shown here which I think has been lacking in previous books. More magical unique items are also shown in use, especially the various hidden tricks from Jarlaxle. It is highly enjoyable book for any fans of Dungeons and Dragons.
