Where to start with The Legend of Drizzt

Two reasonable starting points and a real argument between them.

  1. 1
    Homeland (The Dark Elf Trilogy) The Dark Elf Trilogy

    The most common recommendation. It is chronologically first, it is the better written of the two trilogies, and it is where the character is at his most interesting. The downside is that it was written as a prequel and occasionally assumes you know where he ends up.

  2. 2
    Or The Crystal Shard (The Icewind Dale Trilogy) The Icewind Dale Trilogy

    Published first, in 1988. Starting here means meeting the character as the original readers did and getting the reveals in the order they were written. It is also noticeably rougher prose.

  3. 3
    Then straight on through The rest of the series

    After those six books the series runs in publication order with no further reordering, through roughly thirty five more novels.

Then what? Everything after the first six books is published order. The video games and sourcebooks are optional.

A suggested way in, not an official one. The full list is below: tick anything off in either place.

Everything you tick is saved in this browser and nowhere else. An account is the only way to put your list on another device, and the only way to get it back if this browser clears its storage. It is free and it takes an email address and a password.

Sign in on your phone, your laptop, anything, and the same list is there, kept in step as you tick. Nothing to copy, nothing to remember.

All three are about this franchise and all three are for showing, not moving. The link and the picture open SagaList with that progress displayed next to whatever the person opening it has already ticked. The code is what a friend pastes into Compare below. None of them writes anything into anybody's list.

Read only. This never changes what you have saved, and nothing leaves your browser. The code has to be their code for this same franchise: codes do not carry a name, so one from somewhere else may not be recognised as wrong.

Removes everything ticked here, in this browser. If you are signed in it clears on your other devices too. If you are not, there is no other copy and this cannot be undone.
