Summary
Bloody war rages across the Forgotten Realms world in the third book of the Companions Codex， the latest series in R。A。 Salvatore's New York Times best-selling saga of dark elf Drizzt Do'Urden。
In the evolving world of the Forgotten Realms setting， the Sundering has given way to months of cloud-cloaked darkness， and war rages under that oppressive sky。 The orcs have broken a hard-fought treaty that's held， however tentatively， for a hundred years， and the time to settle old scores has devolved into an all-out brawl for control of the ancient realms of the North。

It would have been 5 stars but I feel the ending was rushed。 Especially after the huge build-up throughout the entire book。

This was a fitting end to this trilogy， which culminates in battles on a huge scale。 Nothing remarkable but good solid book with no major plot errors or character misrepresentations。

Who is the Iron Dwarf？ Did he get vengeance？ Does it even matter？Jokes aside， another solid installment from Salvatore that mainly deals with the desperate tactics of the Dwarves of the Silver Marches and their sundry allies as they try and break the sieges that the orcs and their drow puppetmasters have laid on them， with a healthy side of the aforementioned drow double- and triple-dealing amongst themselves as is their wont。One thing that keeps me keen on slogging onward with the series is （vi Who is the Iron Dwarf？ Did he get vengeance？ Does it even matter？Jokes aside， another solid installment from Salvatore that mainly deals with the desperate tactics of the Dwarves of the Silver Marches and their sundry allies as they try and break the sieges that the orcs and their drow puppetmasters have laid on them， with a healthy side of the aforementioned drow double- and triple-dealing amongst themselves as is their wont。One thing that keeps me keen on slogging onward with the series is （view spoiler）[how the upcoming book promises to be centered on the devious plots of Menzoberranzan's mighty archmage Gromph， a character I've been intrigued by ever since he was introduced in a somewhat offhand way more than 20 books previously in Homeland。（hide spoiler）]["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]> 。。。more

This trilogy finally wraps up the war of the Silver Marches。 Like the second book， the first half of this one does drag a bit。 Eventually， after three books， the collective lands of three dwarven citadels， a forest of elves， and two major cities finally unite to fight back against seemingly endless thousands of orcs。 Meanwhile， the politics of the drow continues to be overdone。 It's amazing how many books Salvatore can write about dwarves fighting drow。 This trilogy finally wraps up the war of the Silver Marches。 Like the second book， the first half of this one does drag a bit。 Eventually， after three books， the collective lands of three dwarven citadels， a forest of elves， and two major cities finally unite to fight back against seemingly endless thousands of orcs。 Meanwhile， the politics of the drow continues to be overdone。 It's amazing how many books Salvatore can write about dwarves fighting drow。 。。。more

A worthwhile conclusion to the trilogy， this book resolved many of the plotlines from the prior two and had a satisfying final battle。 Definitely enjoyed this more than the start of the trilogy; however， I did find a few battles inconsistent。 It was very unclear what happened to Athrogate at the end as he just stopped being mentioned， and there was an incident involving a wound to Bruenor that just wasn't mentioned again。 Overall it was yet another cliffhanger to lead into the next set of books， A worthwhile conclusion to the trilogy， this book resolved many of the plotlines from the prior two and had a satisfying final battle。 Definitely enjoyed this more than the start of the trilogy; however， I did find a few battles inconsistent。 It was very unclear what happened to Athrogate at the end as he just stopped being mentioned， and there was an incident involving a wound to Bruenor that just wasn't mentioned again。 Overall it was yet another cliffhanger to lead into the next set of books， but I did enjoy Vengeance of the Iron Dwarf。 。。。more

Epic ending to Trilogy！Definitely enjoyed this book more out of the previous 3 just because it had that Return of the King vibe and just epic battle after battle with friends rejoined and payback being delivered from the beat down guys。 This was similar and to the original thousand orc trilogy that RA Salvatore wrote previously but it was on a much grander scale but definitely still left some rocks unturned regarding what was going on with the aftermath in Menzoberranzan。 All in great， great pag Epic ending to Trilogy！Definitely enjoyed this book more out of the previous 3 just because it had that Return of the King vibe and just epic battle after battle with friends rejoined and payback being delivered from the beat down guys。 This was similar and to the original thousand orc trilogy that RA Salvatore wrote previously but it was on a much grander scale but definitely still left some rocks unturned regarding what was going on with the aftermath in Menzoberranzan。 All in great， great page turner。 。。。more

I understand the saturation and depleted excitement that comes with 27 books。 As a fun of Drizzt， and having read all books so far， i am willing to settle on this。 Unfortunately Vengeance of the Iron Dwarf has several flaws that go beyond that。 Without expanding too much， the book feels rushed at the end。 The heroes accomplish their goals just because the bad guys lose interest！ I get the writer’s intention to accentuate the role of the Gods and of fate on how things will evolve， but still I fel I understand the saturation and depleted excitement that comes with 27 books。 As a fun of Drizzt， and having read all books so far， i am willing to settle on this。 Unfortunately Vengeance of the Iron Dwarf has several flaws that go beyond that。 Without expanding too much， the book feels rushed at the end。 The heroes accomplish their goals just because the bad guys lose interest！ I get the writer’s intention to accentuate the role of the Gods and of fate on how things will evolve， but still I felt that the heroes effect on the war was insignificant。。。 。。。more

I liked this quite a bit！ I thought Tu-son and his daughters story was weird because I never understood his motives， but the rest of the story was pretty great！ Jarlaxle was fantastic per usual。 Drizzt wasn’t as cool， he used his bow more than his scimitars which I’m not a huge fan of， but he’s still epic with it。 And the dragons？ Fabulous。

Just as fast as Salvatore is settin' em up， I'm knockin' em down。 A mixed bag here as the war that's been brewing between Orcs and Dwarves and Humans for the last two novels fully erupts but generates a LOT of action that tends to blend together and feel repetitive。 Because you can't have the SAME characters fight in every single battle， Salvatore creates several poorly defined and inadquetely developed side-characters as battle stand-ins for which there's little investment or significance in th Just as fast as Salvatore is settin' em up， I'm knockin' em down。 A mixed bag here as the war that's been brewing between Orcs and Dwarves and Humans for the last two novels fully erupts but generates a LOT of action that tends to blend together and feel repetitive。 Because you can't have the SAME characters fight in every single battle， Salvatore creates several poorly defined and inadquetely developed side-characters as battle stand-ins for which there's little investment or significance in their fates （good or ill）。 The interesting elements of the previous books （Cattie-Brie's nascent genocidal tendencies and Drizzt's continued loyalty to her notwithstanding） are utterly shoved aside in favor of battle scene after battle scene。 One positive is that Wulfgar doesn't get tortured （and meets a girl。。。。awwww）。 。。。more

Fight after fight after fight。 One big fight， from the beginning till the end。 And an easy confirmation of Catti-brie's rather bigoted postulation that all orcs were bad just 'cause Mielikki said so from two books ago。 At least Jarlaxle， Kimmuriel and Gromph's scheming was intriguing。 More of that next time！ Fight after fight after fight。 One big fight， from the beginning till the end。 And an easy confirmation of Catti-brie's rather bigoted postulation that all orcs were bad just 'cause Mielikki said so from two books ago。 At least Jarlaxle， Kimmuriel and Gromph's scheming was intriguing。 More of that next time！ 。。。more

Another great installment to a fantasy series。 The only problem I had was it was starting to feel a bit rushed in the end。 I think if R。 A。 Salvatore had stretched this out into a fourth book it would have flowed a little better。 Still， it's a great read。 Another great installment to a fantasy series。 The only problem I had was it was starting to feel a bit rushed in the end。 I think if R。 A。 Salvatore had stretched this out into a fourth book it would have flowed a little better。 Still， it's a great read。 。。。more

I remember getting to this point and hoping he would wrap up the drizzt stories。 As much as I love the characters， the mini reboot annoyed me a little。

This entire series is one of fantastic authorship; this book is no different。 It's one of those where the series could end if the reader chose for it to， but the very end hints at something even better coming up in the next installment。 This entire series is one of fantastic authorship; this book is no different。 It's one of those where the series could end if the reader chose for it to， but the very end hints at something even better coming up in the next installment。 。。。more

Another of the books that set things up more than answers them。 While an action filled tale and certainly a good read it had some issues。 Yet again the dark elves have an almost assured win when they simply decide to walk away。 Also the orc kingdom simply seemed to dissolve。 It almost seems better to count Salvatore's novels as continuing epics than the trilogies they're presented as。 Really the characters， such as Doumwielle， hardly had any story arc completion。 Still I would say this was one o Another of the books that set things up more than answers them。 While an action filled tale and certainly a good read it had some issues。 Yet again the dark elves have an almost assured win when they simply decide to walk away。 Also the orc kingdom simply seemed to dissolve。 It almost seems better to count Salvatore's novels as continuing epics than the trilogies they're presented as。 Really the characters， such as Doumwielle， hardly had any story arc completion。 Still I would say this was one of his better series even if it is painfully cliche。 。。。more

Orcs dwarves giants drow elves wizards monsters dragons war。 Repeat。 Loved。 No one writes dwarves like R。A。 Salvatore does。 This particular trilogy was very dwarve-o-centric， which I loved。 #27！ Man。

I love Drizzt's books with all my heart。 This book I loved as well， although I think the story was a bit removed from the Companions。 SPOILERS below。Sure， Bruenor convinced the dwarven kings to unite and fight back， but other than that I think the Companions weren't necessary to win this epic fight。 Jarlaxle Ex Machina is， apparently， all that matters。 I still don't understand how Jarlaxle could get two dragon sisters on his side。 I mean sure， I get it that they joined the fight to defeat their I love Drizzt's books with all my heart。 This book I loved as well， although I think the story was a bit removed from the Companions。 SPOILERS below。Sure， Bruenor convinced the dwarven kings to unite and fight back， but other than that I think the Companions weren't necessary to win this epic fight。 Jarlaxle Ex Machina is， apparently， all that matters。 I still don't understand how Jarlaxle could get two dragon sisters on his side。 I mean sure， I get it that they joined the fight to defeat their nemesis chromatic dragons， but after those dragons were defeated I -- for the life of me -- didn't understand why the sisters stuck around and help the goodly folk。 The moment the good side of the battle had 2 somehow dedicated， committed dragons on their side， every tension was gone。There is also a major writing mistake in this book unless I somehow skipped a detail: When Bruenor climbed from the boat onto the bridge to fight the orcs near Mithral Hall's gates， Athrogate was shocked to see Bruenor was gurgling more than singing due to the great gash wound at his throat。 The scene ended there and skipped to another POV， but once we were back at Bruenor's side。。。 no wound was mentioned anymore and never again。 What the heck？Anyway I loved the Trilogy although a desperate scenario was suddenly resolved by a drow （Jarlaxle） that apparently has so much power and influence， that from now on I doubt I'd ever fear for Drizzt and his companions。 With Jarlaxle on your side， nothing can go wrong， it seems。 。。。more
