Hey all, I was wondering - is the Companion's Codex a retread of ground covered in The Hunters Blades trilogy? I see there were some dragons involved this time...wanted to see if its worth reading or if I'd be better going straight to Archmage.

Well, the Drizzt series is pretty long now so you're bound to see similar themes popping up from time to time.

The Companions Codex does introduce a lot of backstory that might be useful to know for Archmage, but you don't seem to particularly like the series so you can probably skip it.

Sir Markham pointed out, drinking another brandy. "A chap who can point at you and say 'die' has the distinct advantage".

1/3 of the way into Night of the Hunter. Not a single horde of orcs in sight. Loving the drow politics and eager to see how they try to use the orcs to their advantage. If at all. Catti-brie's stance is interesting. Also like that Salvatore's going to tie Entreri's Companions of Neverwinter into the Companions of the Halls' quest.

I disliked the Companions Codex. Over-used Salvatore themes were used yet again. I don't know what was going on with Salvatore's editor during Rise of the King, but he/she really let the ball drop on that one.

You're right about RotK. Prince of Fools is smoother going. Maybe later.
