About this listen

This latest installment in New York Times best-selling author R.A. Salvatore's beloved fantasy saga, The Companions moves Salvatore's signature hero Drizzt into a new era of the Forgotten Realms. As Drizzt's fate hangs in the balance, he reflects on the lives of the trusted allies who stood by his side throughout his early life - the friends now known as the Companions of the Hall. Meanwhile, the first stirrings of the Sundering begin.

What the critics say

" The Companions is the best novel [R.A.] Salvatore has ever written. It's insanely courageous, profoundly powerful, masterfully constructed, and easily Salvatore's most ambitious work to date." (Paul Goat Allen, BarnesandNoble.com)
"After a quarter of a century, R.A. Salvatore just keeps getting better and better, and The Companions is another masterful leap forward for one of the greatest fantasy epics of all time." (Philip Athans, best-selling author of Annihilation and The Haunting of Dragon's Cliff)

One of the best in the series

Emotional, exciting , and ties together so well with all the previous entries. Huge payoffs for long time readers. And a good jumping off point. Throughly pleased with this one, loved it!

performance is great, story lacks.

Just couldn't get into the story. A reboot of characters long lost. Neat idea to explore reincarnation. Unfortunately, the stories of the great characters should have been left in a state of honour.

Friends

This is a masterpiece. As I sit here and wish that Ihad companions such as that of the companions of the halls. Surely that would make a life worth living.

Always a great listen

Victor Bevine is the best at reading R.A. Salvatore's books. Love the growth in all the characters and can't wait to get to this book again once I complete the full line and start again.

Back once more into the Realms

It had been years since I picked up a Drizzit novel and what a book to get back into the series with. A wonderfully crafted story, bring the companions from the hall back to realms. As I listened to each of the journeys of Catti-brie, Bruenor and Regis spread out across Toril, with their new reincarnated lives. What I really liked was how each of the hero’s struggled with who they were, being the driving force of who they were to become this time around. This is more a book of family then rebirth. #Audible1
