A fun little ride and mostly well performed (I listened to the audiobook). Made me nostalgic for D&D.I had read about half of these when they were originally released in various anthologies (Realms of Valor, Realms of Infamy, Realms of Magic, etc). They are some of the best stories by Salvatore! He somehow manages to build into these tiny stories the emotion and intensity of all of his novels and trilogies.

Terrifically fun, this is an excellent audiobook to tune in and out of. The stories are each about an hour long, which is a perfect length for my listening preferences. Some familiarity with Drizzt, Dungeons and Dragons, or fantasy tropes in general would probably help, but the stories do stand alone very well. My favorite might have been the first, wherein a young Bruenor, the dwarf who will eventually be Drizzt's best friend and King of Mythril Hall, and a few of his yet-beardless comrades go
