Book Reviews of The Two Swords (The Hunter's Blades Trilogy, Book 3)
Book Review: An ending, of sorts, but excellent nonetheless....
Summary: 5 Stars
This book was a fitting conclusion to an awesome series.
This trilogy began with an incredibly dark and foreboding book, and that sense continues with the final book. Mithral Hall, Nesme, and the other dwarven citadels are fortifying to contain the orcs, while King Obould solidifies his gains. The tension will remain for some time. It is exciting to see such a powerful villain in the Realms. Obould matured from a ravaging leader to a calculating king over the series, forcing other leaders to change their strategy in dealing with him.
The Two Swords perhaps had the least amount of action of the three books, but still has enough to satisfy.
I think the ending will provide interesting new story ideas. And while some interesting turns leave some relationships changed forever, the door is opened for future strife between Bruenor, Regis, Catti-Brie, Wulfgar, and Drizzt.
This is a trilogy I will be re-reading time after time.

Paperback version of the #4 New York Times best-selling hardcover.
This title is the third and final book in the latest trilogy from R.A. Salvatore, which once again features his popular dark elf character Drizzt Do?Urden?.

As The Two Swords begins, newly ressurected dwarven King Bruenor Bruenor Battlehammer and his subjects are sealed in Mithral Hall. Beyond their gate lies the slavering orc army of King Obould Many Arrows, who schemes beyond the mere death of dwarves and seeks to establish an honest-to-Gruumsh kingdom--the Kingdom of Dark Arrows--at the foot of Mithral Hall. Meanwhile, the dark elf Drizzt Do?Urden still believes his dear companions dead and seeks to exact his vengeance on the mighty orc king. But Drizzt and Bruenor may have met their match with Obould. It will take a new dwarven-elvish-human alliance and dark pacts with the likes of the evil frost giants and a familiar sentient sword name of Khazid'hea to be rid of this new orcish blight.
This novel is a must read for fans of Salvatore's version of The Forgotten Realms as it redraws the D&D-inspired world's political borders with the requisite teeth-rattling combat. And while it concludes the trilogy, the tale will leave readers primed for the showdown to come with Kingdom of Dark Arrows. Also, for fans of the author's more lovey-dovey plottings, Salvatore includes a shockingly cruel revelation involving a vital supporting character and, believe it, that pesky talking sword, Khazid'hea. --Jeremy Pugh
