Publisher's summary

The Legend of Drizzt: The Collected Stories expands upon the epic legend of the dark elf with 12 tales performed by the all-star cast of Felicia Day, Dan Harmon, Greg Grunberg, Tom Felton, Danny Pudi, Sean Astin, Melissa Rauch, Ice-T, Wil Wheaton, Al Yankovic, Michael Chiklis, and David Duchovny!

For years, the Legend of Drizzt has included short stories published in Forgotten Realms anthologies and Dragon magazine. Available here for the first time in audio are all the classic stories by the New York Times best-selling author R. A. Salvatore!

From the startling origin of Drizzt’s panther companion, to the tale of Jarlaxle and Entreri’s first encounter with the dragon sisters, the tales in The Collected Stories enrich this vividly-imagined series by building the world around Drizzt through exploring the backstories of side characters and magical locations.

Critic reviews

"The narrators, all good actors, dramatize the unusual characters with clarity and deliver natural-sounding dialogue. Their even pacing helps listeners track tricky plot twists as the stories build.... Fans of Salvatore's work will be enthralled." ( AudioFile)

Will Wheaton, please read all my books to me.

Will Wheaton was awesome, I wish he had read every story in the audiobook. Bravo.

I won't name names but, if this particular reader was perhaps an Iced Tea that i bought from the convenience store of audio beverages i would return it for tasting monotone and generally lack luster.

Wish a couple of the narrators were better

Would you listen to The Legend of Drizzt: The Collected Stories again? Why?

The stories, typical of R.A. Salvatore, were excellent. He has long been one of my favorite writers of fantasy. However, a couple of the narrators were less than stellar, and were a disappointment. Ice-T, and his pretentious insistence on pronouncing the 'w' in 'sword' was the low point for me. In a couple of the action sequences, when he got more excited, he actually pronounced the word correctly, revealing the mispronunciation was an affectation. The highlights of the narration, for me, were Felicia Hardy, Tom Felton, Will Wheaton, and Sean Astin. David Duchovny was the other letdown.

I will listen to the audio book again, but will likely avoid the chapter read by Ice-T. This is a shame, as that chapter has arguably the best Drizzt battle sequences.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Legend of Drizzt: The Collected Stories?

I really enjoyed finding out more of the backstory on Guenhwyvar. Tom Felton did an excellent job narrating.

Any additional comments?

THESE BOOKS ARE FRAGMENTS FROM MY CHILDHOOD. THOSE STORIES ARE HARD TO FIND IN THE ORIGINAL FORMATS, SO BEING ABLE TO FIND THEM IN ANY MODERN FORMAT IS COMFORTING

Excellent bridge book!

The book filled in a few gaps for me that before were only events that had been mentioned but without much elaboration. The author drops little golden nuggets throughout the drizdt series and it was nice for some of those events to be written and compiled.

A Great Listen , mostly

The stories are great. I enjoyed them from start to finish. Most of the narrators are also great. A couple don't really perform as well as the others. I'm not sure if it's because the stories settings don't match with the style of their performance, or if they didn't try as hard as the others.

Notably Ice T's performance doesn't seem to match the story he reads.

fun intro to the world

I've lived and played D&D for many years but somehow never got into any of the novels. After hearing about the cast of people reading the short stories I was sold. All the stories were great and make me want to know more about this world. The only downside was Ice Tea's performance. It would have been fun to have him read one of the shorter chapters but I can't even tell you what his story was about because I just couldn't listen to it.

Enjoyable listen

Ice-T's narration was a bit rough, but otherwise an enjoyable listen.

I haven't read any Salvatore in quite a while. Listening to these tales was like reuniting with old friends. If you enjoy any of his other work, you'll enjoy these stories.

Short stories that are all unique and exciting

it's a bunch of short stories that are interesting and exciting. I've never heard anything like this before. I'm very impressed by the talent of the narrators and I'm going to buy the rest of the series now.

Too many narrators spoiled the book

Couldn't even power through it and I loved reading this as a kid. This is one that is better to read.

Most of the narrators are HORRIBLE readers

Any additional comments?

All though a great book, the voice acting of most (not all) of the narrators are ridiculously obnoxious and off key. They really need to audition them with a sample reading before hiring these nut jobs. In one story, Artemis at 12 yrs old sounds like a grown man with a hoarse voice sounding similar Christian Bale’s Batman. Catte-brie sounds like a tiny pixie with a forced Irish accent....save your money and just buy the paperback.
