Welcome to Gaia! ::

What? They're colour coded? I totally didn't see that. They look the same to me.

I must say that I did like the Halfling's Gem better than the other two Icewind Dale books. Probably because it had Entreri in it, and there was more traveling. And Deudermont was great!

I liked the group in the Dark Elf trilogy better, though. I mean, I just liked the Dark Elf trilogy better in general. Of the Icewind Dale group, aside from Drizzt, I liked Bruenor best.

I think I liked Waterdeep the best of the towns, although Longsaddle was awesome because of the Harpells. And I prefer other places to Icewind Dale.

Great book, in the whole. Sali Dalib was amusing, and the wererats added a new dimension to the situation. What I didn't like was all the hints of a relationship between Drizzt and Alustriel, and the random flirtations between Catti-brie and Wulfgar. It was a little sudden, since although it was pretty obvious that they had feelings for each other, that kiss in the sewers was a bit unexpected since the relationship wasn't developed much otherwise.

It's also kinda odd how they kept getting into seemingly impossible situations but no one died. I mean, I like the thing with the fire and Drizzt's scimitar saving Bruenor, but when Catti-brie launched herself off the bridge in Tarterus, she really shouldn't have survived, even if it was a circular plane. Oh, and Regis' severed fingers were kinda never mentioned again.
