RAS wrote a novel called Servant of the Shard for the paths of darkness series right? And that is the one where the psionist helped Artemis defeat Drizzt?

Well RAS then wrote a second novel for The Sell Swords trilogy also called Servant of the Shard or are they the same book? I am really confused right now

I definitely agree about that.

I do recall Lolth telling Errtu that she was no longer hunting Drizzt anymore.



I recall reading that, myself. Which is just as well--why should all of Drizzt's enemies become obessed with him, and/or involve him in their plans?

Well, prior to that, she was using said angsty essays as an instrument of torture. Cruel and unusual punishment, you see.

Crennen,

Knock it off with the smart arse replies.

I like that version. :p Also, slashy subtext.

I knew the Artemis and Drizzt fight happened in Paths of darkness i just could not recall which book it was and I thought it was Servant of the Shard, I stand corrected =)

Thanks for the help answering that. I was wondering why RAS had realized a new novel with the same title but apparently I am just foolish because it is the same novel. I stil lcan't believe I read it twice and did not even realize that I had previously read it. I read it when it was first released and then when it was released with the newest cover so it was quite a few years apart but it is bizarre that I did that regardless.

As for the sell swords, it has just become the series of Jarlaxle and Artemis. Kind of like the offshoot story of Wulgar in the "Spine of the World"

She is the Godess of chaos you know.

Indeed he does seem remarkable hale without a heart. Though I found it odd that Lolth had Drizzt brought back to life through one of Jarlaxle's priests.

Drizzt remains amazingly hale for someone without a heart, then.

TSR/WotC has taken several books out of their original series, and resold them as another. Elfshadow, Elfsong, and Silver Shadows, for example, were all originally in the Harpers series.

I think you might have mistaken this for another book. The book in which Artemis defeated Drizzt with the psionist's help was The Silent Blade which was the first book in the paths of darkness series.

But nonetheless, there are two Servant of the Shard editions (both are the same except cover and so on) for each series.

I can't believe I read it twice and did not even realize that I had just read the same book. I did not remember any of from the first time.
Crennen FaerieBane Posted - 04 Nov 2005 : 00:16:05
He basically took Servant of the Shard out of Paths of Darkness because it did not relate directly to the stories of Drizzt. he then decided to continue the adventures of Entreri and Jarlaxle and gave them a trilogy of their own.

Same book.
