"The Thousand Orcs" by R.A. Salvatore

2.5 stars out of 5

Pretty much Tolkien's "The Two Towers" retold with Salvatore's characters. It was just way, way too similar. Actually, exactly the same plot. Kind of disappointing after "Sea of Swords" which I enjoyed immensely.

My favorite parts? Every scene involving Regis, he has become my favorite character of the whole series - Drizzt, the main hero, is just way too frickin' whiny. And then Ivan and Pikel Bouldershoulder for comic relief.

What I disliked most? Drizzt and Catti-brie. The whole "will they, won't they" is getting on my last nerve. I'm now really glad that Wulfgar got together with Delly Curtie because she's more down-to-earth and stronger than Catti-brie with her unending "issues" that are becoming more and more annoying with every book.
