![]() ![]() If I never hear the word Fate again in my entire life it will be too soon. It got to the point, where I didn't want to even finish the book. They live in a small town, where as children they would probably run into each other and just because that happened, they were "meant to be together" or because they like the same thing it's "Fate". The talk of Fate throughout this book really got on my nerves. Who says "Far Out" anymore? Oh and Lani talks to her shopping cart. If that wasn't ridiculous enough, half of the dialogue between Jason and Lani sounds like it belongs in the seventies. Don't believe me, check pages 98 and 99 in the paperback. Evian tastes like sky blue triangles and Poland Spring tastes like red circles. No clue what I'm talking about? Well the characters, Lani and Jason, think different kinds of water taste like this. ![]()

When a character walks into a room in the series, my eyes glaze over as their outfits are described for the eighth time in as many chapters. The amount of pointless descriptions of shit we’ve read over and over (Kahlan’s green eyes, Richard’s golden WAR WIZARRRD cape, Mord-Sith red leather…) is truly stunning. Instead of an 11-book series, I’m fairly certain it could have been cut to about 6. While the first book was mindless fun, in the following books I have read ad nauseum about Richard’s Raptor Gaze, the word TRUTH pressing into his palm, his anger rising and magical RAAAGE surging, simply wanting to be a woodsman, oh I’m a War Wizard but can’t use magic, convoluted morals, and some other shit that my numbed brain can’t quite recall at the moment. That leaves me with 7 to go in the series. Now, since I have what I could consider mild OCD when it comes to finishing series, I have plowed through the books and am on the… 4th? book, Temple of the Winds.

It seems that everyone is doing fine since we moved to my Uncle’s everyone except for me. My father and mother both work, my sister Boots is just learning how to read, and my other sister Lizzie is the smartest girl in the fifth grade right now. So much has happened in a year, starting with the thousand dollars that Vikus gave us. One year since I saw Luxa, the young queen of Regalia.

But all the information that has come down to us is highly suspect.

![]() While Drizzt ends up overshadowing almost everyone and everything, The Crystal Shard is technically an ensemble piece. When I was 11, he was pretty much the coolest fictional character I had ever encountered, and I know I wasn’t the only one the gods only know how many rip-offs he inspired in D&D players of the late “˜80s and “˜90s. The dark elf who forsook his super-evil, subterranean race (although Wizards is now changing the way D&D plays to combat that stereotype, among others) to become a noble Ranger on the surface world stars in a staggering 34 books, many of which hit the New York Times bestseller list. ![]() If you’ve ever read a Dungeons & Dragons novel, there’s a decent chance it included Drizzt. Salvatore, and it introduced arguably the most famous and beloved D&D character of all time, Drizzt Do’Urden. It was the first-ever novel by the best-selling author R.A. ![]() While it’s not the first D&D novel ” nor even the first novel set in the immensely popular, by-the-numbers fantasy world of the Forgotten Realms ” it holds two important distinctions. When I proposed this project to Jill, I always knew I’d have to start with the book that first hooked me as a fantasy-loving, 11-year-old nerd: 1988’s The Crystal Shard.
