Product Description:
To her, to her dying breath, you were the untouchable one, the one whose flesh her dagger could not penetrate.
THE ASSASSIN
A cold and emotionless killer for whom every soul has a price, even his own, embarks on a path to find out just how high that price can be.
THE MERCENARY
A dark elf of limitless guile dares to challenge a king, and carve for himself a place in the inhospitable World Above.
ILNEZHARA and TAZMIKELLA are ancient dragons of great power, accustomed to easily manipulating the humans around them. But not all humans are so easily led. When they pushed Entreri and Jarlaxle into the heart of the Bloodstone Lands, not even they could have imagined the strength of the human assassin’s resolve, or the limitless expanse of the drow mercenary’s ambition.

Rating:  - SALVATORE FAN
GREAT BOOK, HAVE ADDED IT TO MY SALVATORE COLLECTION AND I DID READ IT ALREADY AND I ENJOYED THE FURTHER WORLD EXPLORED BY SALVATORE ON THE ASSASSINS VIEW OF THE WORLD
Rating: - Artemis Rules
Ripped storyline or not the book is excellent. The characters of Artemis and Jareaxle make this a very worthwhile read!
Rating:  - I expect more
Am I the only one who notices that "Gareth Dragonsbane" and the whole "Bloodstone" thing was ripped straight out of an old D&D module (Bloodstone Wars, I believe). Is Wizards giving license for their authors to use old material and pass it off as their own? I expect more from the author who pounded out the Icewind Dale Trilogy and the Dark Elf Trilogy. (I gave it a 1/5 only because it wouldn't let me give it a 0).
Rating: - An eye opening insight into the inner Artemis
While there have been some dramatic hints and even several alterations in Artemis' state of mind and behavior; Salvatore has stepped up his game yet again by letting us readers into the mind of an assassin we all love to hate. Jaraxle doesn't dissapoint with his whimsical mirth and nearly endless battle prowess. Step right up to this 3rd installment and marvel in the detail of dialog and plot development.
Rating: - Up and Down
A wonderful journey, of the calibre expected from such an author. However, the ending I felt could have been a lot better, its probably the main complaint that I have with this book. Great fights, interesting characters and a plot line that will keep you interested, even if it is a little predictable in places.
