The Dark Elf Trilogy Collector's Edition by R.A. Salvatore

They are just an addition to the main saga (Novels). You most certainly don't NEED to read the Graphic Novels and Collected Stories. THE LEGEND OF DRIZZT - is the name given to the re-release of ICE, DARK, LEG trilogies.

DARK is a much darker tone with a heavy focus on Drizzt's emotion and torment, its extremely important to the series but is not the classic Tolkien-esk adventure that you will find with ICE.įOR Drizzts origin books work as a prequel after you’ve already met him and learned a bit about him.ĪGAINT More recent prints of the novels/Audio books (under the 'Legend of Drizzt' book series title) have Drizzt reflecting (before each chapter) on events that happened in DARK which may spoil the experience or confuse the reader. Why?įOR ICE is legendary, it is where Salvatore first introduced us to these incredible characters, its his earliest writing (and he has evolved over the years), it will help you fall in love with this world. Many fans also like to read in release order which essentially switches THE ICEWIND DALE TRILOGY (ICE) with THE DARK ELF TRILOGY (DARK). > Please feel free to suggest edits as this list evolves. See bottom of post for alternate reading order. This is Bobs suggested READING ORDER for his Forgotten Realms books, which all tie together. I will make note of any edits from Bobs original list in the appendix The following list is an evolution of RA Salvatores (Bob) suggested reading order.
