Why read it?
2 authors picked The Crystal Shard as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I recommend The Crystal Shard to everyone I know, because it is an absolute classic of the fantasy genre. It’s the first book to introduce the legendary dark elf Drizzt Do’Urdan.
When I first read this book, it reignited my passion for fantasy adventures filled with elves, dwarves, halflings, and monsters. What we learn from Drizzt’s outsider experience is the hope that someday we all find our people. There are people out there that will be our friends, champions, and family.
No matter how odd we feel sometimes, we’re not meant to be alone, and there are people out there…
From Z.S.'s list on fantasy adventure filled with fun, magic, and hope.
The Crystal Shard is the first book where Drizzt Do'urden appears. It is the starting point for an absolute treasure trove of novels, all set within the Dungeons and Dragons, Forgotten Realms Universe.
Salvatore writes with a quick, carefree style. The books are action-forward, with somewhat of a swashbuckling feel to them. I think the best word to describe them is… fun. And I think that is what I recommend them. Even when writing in dark worlds, filled with deadly enemies, and bloody battles, it’s important to always keep fun front and center. Salvatore has truly mastered pacing and drama…
From JR's list on fantasy to draw you into a dark, dangerous world.
