This series is designed for a teen audience and was written many years after its chronological position (between The Icewind Dale Trilogy and The Cleric Quintet). I have crossed out THE STONE OF TYMORA trilogy which was written by Bob and his son Geno Salvatore. The 'Servant of the Shard' was originally a part of the PATHS OF DARKNESS trilogy. These two characters are a vital part of the Drizzt saga so I would certainly never advise to skip them.
It features Artemis Entreri and Jarlaxle on some insane adventures to other parts of the Realm. THE SELLSWORDS is a slight spin off the main adventure (notably book 2 and 3). I would not class it as a MUST read but it certainly adds to the experience. This event will effect the world moving forward and introduce important characters to future stories. It follows Cadderly Bonaduce, a scholar-cleric, as he attempts to stop the "Chaos Curse". THE CLERIC QUINTET is a slight spin off the main adventure. Their are six books in the series (Written by various Authors) but it is fine to just read The Companions as it ties directly into Cutter and The Companions Codex. THE SUNDERING - Is a series of books which alter the shape of the world due to changes in the DnD revision of that time. They are just an addition to the main saga (Novels). You most certainly don't NEED to read the Graphic Novels and Collected Stories.
THE LEGEND OF DRIZZT - is the name given to the re-release of ICE, DARK, LEG trilogies. DARK is a much darker tone with a heavy focus on Drizzt's emotion and torment, its extremely important to the series but is not the classic Tolkien-esk adventure that you will find with ICE.įOR Drizzts origin books work as a prequel after you’ve already met him and learned a bit about him.ĪGAINT More recent prints of the novels/Audio books (under the 'Legend of Drizzt' book series title) have Drizzt reflecting (before each chapter) on events that happened in DARK which may spoil the experience or confuse the reader. Why?įOR ICE is legendary, it is where Salvatore first introduced us to these incredible characters, its his earliest writing (and he has evolved over the years), it will help you fall in love with this world. Many fans also like to read in release order which essentially switches THE ICEWIND DALE TRILOGY (ICE) with THE DARK ELF TRILOGY (DARK). > Please feel free to suggest edits as this list evolves. See bottom of post for alternate reading order. This is Bobs suggested READING ORDER for his Forgotten Realms books, which all tie together. I will make note of any edits from Bobs original list in the appendix The following list is an evolution of RA Salvatores (Bob) suggested reading order.
