The Pirate King: Transitions, Book II Audiobook

" A good fantasy adventure book with familiar characters.... There were some elements to the story which had me scratching my head but an enjoyable read nonetheless. "

" While I enjoyed The Pirate King, it wasn't as gripping for me as most of Salvatore's other books I've read. I'm used to be pulled back and forth by intense action and emotion in a Drizzt novel, but this one didn't do that so much. Perhaps for the story of this book he wanted to tell it that way purposely. It seems like the transitional book itself in this series dubbed "transitions". Like a story told to move a set of characters to another place in preparation for a grand finale. Hopefully the next transitions book takes that preparation and drops a riveting bomb of a trilogy closing masterpiece. "

" Ugh. What a chore this book was. It took me three weeks to finish and there were many days I didn't even pick it up. This is one of my favorite series, my favorite character and it was just awful. Salvatore is getting ridiculously boring in his later novels. Pages and pages and pages...and pages of intrigue. I'm incapable of skimming, I have to attempt to understand EVERYthing and sometimes my brain doesn't latch on. The last 40 pages of the book were somewhat interesting with the big reveal/reunion with old characters I was happy to see come back but so disappointed their appearances were relegated to cameos; near death scenes but with the hokey escape; a surprising death (Salvatore is less afraid to kill people now). It was a let down. By far the worst book of the series - it makes Seige of Darkness looks great and I've long maintained that book was the dud of the series. And besides all this, I had to walk around with a book called THE PIRATE KING for 3 weeks. People must have thought I was reading a bad romance or fanfic about Captain Jack Sparrow. "

" Unfortunately, not Salvatore's best. It picked up at the end , but dragged on for much of the book. "

" Not my favorite. Depressing. "

" The earlier books in the series are definitely more eventful and exciting. "

" Another fun Drizzt book from Salvatore. "

" I really enjoy the Drizzt books, but this is probably the worst one yet. "

" Salvatore's attempts to layer intrigue upon intrigue are less than stellar. Despite this, the themes of the story present interesting moral questions for characters that the reader is too used to seeing in only one way. "

" Very good continuation of the most recent Drizzt trilogy. A lot of wizard battles for you magic fans out there. "

" kinda slow at first but typically got better as it went. "

" ONE OF HIS BEST BOOKS "

" Why are all the godd guys noble but stupid. And the only intelligent ones with any foresight and planning are the bad guys? "

" Another marvelous Drizzt novel by R. A. Salvatore, the 21st book in the series. I look forward to the third in this trilogy, The Ghost King. "

" Pretty good. Lots of action and death! The ending sucked (it wasn't written badly, but I just didn't like it) "

" Not his best book by far, but entertaining none-the-less. "

" my favorite captain met an unfortunate end....why R.A? why? "

" Deudermont returns in this epic tale of Luskan and the High Captains that rule it. Drizzt and Regis get involved in the conflict over Luskan and a few old friends join the fray. A tragic end to the story sets the bar for the following book. "

" The earlier books in the series are definitely more eventful and exciting. "

" Not bad overall...usual Drizzt type of book. "

" Another of the AWESOME Drizzt books, my parents origanally got me the first trilogy. LOVED it. I have been trying to read all the books in the series. "

" The fight scenes are interesting but that is about it. Salvatore has not met a cliche he would not go down on for the first date but he writes a fun fight. "

" A good fantasy adventure book with familiar characters.... There were some elements to the story which had me scratching my head but an enjoyable read nonetheless. "

" Much better than the first book in the series. "

" Pretty good. Lots of action and death! The ending sucked (it wasn't written badly, but I just didn't like it) "

" Another fun Drizzt book from Salvatore. "

" Things are changing. I assume that things are starting to transition to the 4.0 rules set of the table top game, which suggests a great cataclysm, although I am not sure of the "time periods" involved. "
