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

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.

| 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. |

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. |

| 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. |

| Actually, the Psion stopped Drizzt from killing Artemis. Artemis then used the psionic energy that was building up inside his person and tore Drizzt's heart out. Artemis really didn't need any help. Also, Artemis was seriously heated after he realized what he had done. |

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

| 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" |

| And there was that whole conjecture by the cleric of Lolth in the Hunter's Blades books about how Drizzt may still have the favor of Lolth becuase he causes chaos among those drow faithful to Lolth that he encounters. Heck, she wouldn't let go of Liriel for a long time even after Liriel had started to look into Elistraee's faith. |

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. |

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

Crennen,
Knock it off with the smart arse replies. |
For some of us, books are as important as almost anything else on earth. What a miracle it is that out of these small, flat, rigid squares of paper unfolds world after world, worlds that sing to you, comfort and quiet and excite you... Books are full of the things that you don't get in real life - wonderful, lyrical language, for instance, right off the bat. - Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird

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

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, perhaps Lolth was tired of her children becoming so narrow-minded to think her favor was all determined by who caught Drizzt Do'urden. I mean, if you think of it - Jarlaxle would probably be a lot better catch.

I definitely agree about that. |
