| Your best bet for a Collector's Edition would be "The Legacy of the Drow"--Still available in HC and just released in TPB last month. |

Isn't it the Paths of Darkness series (Silent Blade, Spine of the World, Servant of the Shard, and Sea of Swords)? If I remember correctly, that's the next series. (I just bought Spine of the World today so I could finish up that series. Now I have all four books and can start reading them! actually...I can read the second through the fourth books. I've already read The Silent Blade  )
And I don't really have a favorite Drizzt book/series. They are all really good in my opinion. |

Yes, I think you are correct about the next books after the Legacy of the Drow. Anyway, I think my favorite Drizzt book would have to be Siege of Darkness. |

| Well, if you really want to find out what Drizzt is truly made of...i recommend the Dark Elf Trilogy. It really breaks him down and shows the reader what he really stands for and how he thinks. These books prove how much he really differs from his evil kin, the drow elves. But ont he other hand if you would like more of an adventuring with Drizzt type book, i recommend the Icewind Dale Trilogy. Its a great series. |
"Lies engulf the drow in fear and mistrust, refute friendship at the tip of a Lolth blessed sword. The hatred and ambition fostered by these amoral tenets are the doom of my people, a weakness they perceive as strength. The result is a paralyzing existence that the drow call the edge of readiness." -Drizzt Do'Urden |

| After the Dark elf trilogy, it is the Icewind Dale Trilogy: The Crystal Shard, Streams of Silver, and The Halfling's Gem. Then if memory serves it goes: The Legacy, Starless Night, Siege of Darkness, Passage to Dawn, Silent Blade, Spine of the World, Servant of the Shard, Sea of Swords, and A Thousand Orcs. The latest one, a Thousand orcs is the best one in a very long time, but I actually preferred the Icewind dale trilogy as the best collection. |

| I like most of the Drizzt books (I've read up to The Silent Blade, have to find it somewhere). But I'd say my favorite one was...Passage to Dawn. |

Oh it's not that hard of a book to find....it's just a matter of having the money when you find it.  Your best bet would probably be either Barnes and Noble or Waldenbooks in the valley mall. Merlin's might have it too...but that's downtown...and I don't exactly think your parents would want to take you all the way down there just for a book. *shrugs* dunno though. It's a pretty good book. I finished Servant of the Shard...now I'm reading Spine of the World...can't say I like that book...it's really slow-going at the beginning..... and I've started reading Sea of Swords (see Elph!! I can read more than one book at a time and keep the plots straight!!!  ). And yes I know that Spine of the World comes before Servant of the Shard...but I didn't have Spine of the World until I was already halfway through the other one. Lol. oh well...so somethings were spoiled...there's always a next time.  |

I think that of the Different Sets of Drizzt Books (Icewind Dale, Dark Elf, Legacy of the Drow, Paths of Darkness, and Hunter's Blades) I like the Icewind Dale Trilogy the best. Individual books, I would have to say that I like the latest one in the line 'The Thousand Orcs' I think the reason is because if you read all of the Drizzt books, you can see his writing styly progressivly getting better, so the latest books are the best ones, but for Story line, the Icewind Dale has them all licked.
My Favorite Character in the books is Jarlaxle. I want a entire series of books dedicated to just Jarlaxle. Also, Jarlaxle is Drizzt's brother, think about it. |

Wait a second...do you mean as in they are both dark elves or that they are blood related? ...cause I thought Jarlaxle was a Baenre...?
In the end of Servant of the Shard it says that he's the third son.... Unless it says something different somewhere else? *runs to get her copy of Servant of the Shard*
(spoiler for anyone who hasn't read this book yet)
"However, Jarlaxle Baenre, the third son of Matron Baenre, once sacrificed to Lady Lloth by his mother and his siblings, knew better than to trust his own brother."
...okay now I'm thoroughly confused....  |

I think it will be reveiled in the future that Zak was Drizzt's and Jarlaxle's Father.
Drizzt, Zak, and Jarlaxle are the most independant Male Drow ever. They were all outcasts, Zak wanted to get away from drow society. Drizzt Did. Jarlaxle did not get away from it, but he became a independant force.
Why did Jarlaxle save Drizzt when Artemis almost killed him in 'The Silent Blade'? Jarlaxle holds no love for anyone else, he saved Drizzt because he was his brother.
I'm sure I can come up with more examples.
Drizzt and Jarlaxle = Brothers |

Okay...but I thought it said in one of the books that Jarlaxle saved Drizzt because of Zaknafein.... I could be wrong of course. (please forgive me if I sound argumentative or rude. I am not meaning to).
Though I would be interested to hear if this really is indeed true. It would make for an interesting story. lol. |

Oh, I hope not. I hate those sort of soap-opera plots. Only one in the history of entertainment has ever really "made it" for me.
*khooo-perrr* "Luke . . . I am your father . . . ." *khooo-perrr*
Some how "Drizzt, I am your brother" doesn't sound the same. |

| Yes, I agree. So if you want a collector's edition, get the hardback of The Dark Elf. Besides, the two forwards (Greenwood and Salvatore) are really interesting. |

| What would be the best book about Drizzt to read first? I already have the Darkelf trilogy and the Icewind dale trilogy, but have not read them yet. Or should I start with legacy of the drow? I'm not talking about the chronological order. I hope you can help me out :) |

It is probably best, if you start with the Dark Elf Trilogy, as it establishes Drizzt as a character and sets into motion many of the themes which will carry on through the entire series of books containing Drizzt.
It also details his birth, his life in Menzoberranzan, and his growing disenchantment with the evil ways of the Dark Elves. It also covers why he left his homeland and journeyed to the surface. The Icewind Dale Trilogy carries the adventures of Drizzt on while he is on the surface, after leaving the Underdark. It would then be the best idea to read the Legacy of the Drow Series.
Good learning...

No Bookwyrm, Dark Elf Trilogy first, followed by Icewind Dale Trilogy, Legacy of the Drow and Paths of Darkness....... then the more recent and yet incomplete Hunters Blades Trilogy. |

| I'm sure Rad wasn't referreing to publication dates, BW, but to when things happen in the stories. The happenings in the Dark Elf books take place before the Icewind Dale books. When they were published doesn't really matter if you want to read in chronological order. |

Part of the Charm of Homeland Exile and SOJOURN was that you were reading ABOUT the character Drizzt from Crystal Shard. I think the so-called first three books, (Homeland etc.) lose some of their flare without first learning of Drizzt's personality through the Icewind dale trilogy.
