victor is anazing

best narrator you have at audible. i suggest you recast the other salvotor books you had orhers reaf

Sylvan Shdows

This book is a great read and listening to this book will hold your interest in ways not known it is very intriguing

Still good after decades

This is still a good story decades after it was written. I remember reading a story when I was in high school in the 1990s right after it came out. When I saw this book on audible. I bought it just to read the story again. As the Universe the author has created has unfolded the characters in the story really don’t play a significant role. However, this story does play a significant role as a whole. I am trying not to ruin the story for anyone who has not read this book or any of the rest in the series. There is a lot of great information here and a lot of good character development. Even after almost 30 years, the story could be released today and still sell quite well.

Ggggrrrrrreeeeeeeaaaaaaaaattttttttt

loved it and I haven't read/ listened to a book in 8 years but this one definitely entertained me

Slow

The narrator does a good job. It seems like he's reading incredibly slowly. Seems to take forever.

So very good

This book is very well written and the narrator did a great job. There is a point where the narrator refers to Elbereth as Elizabeth though. I listened to it three times to confirm. Went back and opened the actual book to confirm and the book has the name correct. I believe it was chapter 5; quiet. Great book though.

great

wonderful book! just as good as I remembered! been 20 years I guess since my first read through!

Classic RA Salvatore but without Driz'zt

A great story with legendary characters.

All the classic world building, character development and depth of fantasy worlds lie within this set of books.

Highly recommend if you're into that kinda stuff !

Taking the Fight to the Forrest

What did you love best about In Sylvan Shadows?

Character interactions. While the combat is good because most of the characters do not kill/fight for a living and it takes a different tole on them... it's the dialogue that keeps you listening.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Boulder Shoulder Bros. Ivan and Pickle are always down for a fight and a laugh. I know their motives and story parts might be small but you know what to expect with dwarfs.

What about Victor Bevine’s performance did you like?

Victor always does a nice job. He does most if not all of the Drizzt books I've listened to and he is in the top 5 for FR narrators.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Homeland.

Any additional comments?

I don't feel like you have to had read the first book in the series to understand what was happening in Sylvan Shadows. Obviously, character background helps but the story seems fairly independent.

Great read

Salvatore, brings you into the story so flawlessly that you can't put it down. Unassuming characters that are not your average heros.
