In Sea of Swords, R.A. Salvatore brings Drizzt Do’Urden back into the Paths of Darkness
It turns out that Wulfgar, whom his friends had presumed might be dead, is very much alive. As well, he is in great need of the kind of help only his battle hardened friends can provide, as he is out to regain his war hammer and his self-respect as well.
Getting to Wulfgar and aiding him in his quest for Aegis-fang, his war hammer, is only part of the fun. Drizzt Do’Urden, Cattie-Brie, Bruenor Battlehammer and Regis the Halfling, have to battle orcs, goblins and ogres on their way to the real business at hand.
A second plot in Sea of Swords involves the stalking of Drizzt Do’Urden by Le’Lorinel, a Moon elf (or pale elf, whereas Drizzt is a Drow or dark elf). Here the author combines some of the good versus evil of Robin Hood and his merry men I can’t say I much liked this sub-plot. Nor did I feel it was necessary in the book. Also, I thought the group of friends very portrayed a little too much as super-heroes in the final battles. That being said, it was an enjoyable read!
