Relation Toward Books The Orc King (Transitions #1)
Drizzt is back, and facing a world changed forever!An uneasy peace between the dwarves of Mithral Hall and the orcs of the newly established Kingdom of Many-Arrows can't last long. The orc tribes united under Obould begin to fight each other, and Bruenor is determined to finish the war that nearly killed him and almost destroyed everything he's worked to build. But it will take more than swords and axes to bring a lasting peace to the Spine of the World. Powerful individuals on both sides may have to change the way they see each other. They may have to start to talk. And it won't be easy.
The paper-back of the novel that, for the first time since the #4 "New York Times" best seller "The Lone Drow," brought Drizzt Do'Urden to center stage in a book that set fans of Drizzt and the Forgotten Realms line on notice--be prepared for anything! This book wasn't just the next installment in the long-running saga of the famous dark elf, but the beginning of a bold new trilogy that will help change the face of the Forgotten Realms world forever.

I had to laugh out loud when I found an exact duplicate of my experience with this book:Lyn's review of The Orc KingSimilarities:I also picked up this book because it's supposedly the start of a new series; it'd been a long time since I'd delved into the D&D worlds and this seemed like a good place to pick it up again.I also felt lost because so much of this story depends on your knowing the history of these characters and past events.I was also known to throw the polyhedral dice in my teenAn orc walks into the bar with a parrot on his shoulder and the bartender says "Wow, that's really neat.

The Orc King by R.A. Salvatore picks up a few months after the events from The Two Swords in the Hunter's Blades trilogy. Winter is waning and the stand-off between Mithril Hall and King Obould Many Arrows is about to come to a head...the main plot, to me, was split into a couple of different ones. There is the continued guessing of what is to happen between the two Kingdoms and then there is another dealing with some of King Obould's followers looking to create an alliance with another tribe of

I'm a Drizzt fan, as long as he keeps pumping out the books, I'll keep reading them. Pretty standard Salvatore, with a slight twist. The Prologue is set a hundred years or so in the future, with the "good" races living near an orc kingdom presided over by King Obould the 6th - letting us know immediately how the book is going to end. Interesting idea, not sure I like it since it takes away some of the mystery and removes and chance that Drizzt dies any time soon. Not that that's a huge surprise,
The Orc King is a classic fantasy novel about the search for peace amid the struggle for power.The Bad Stuff: There are some over technical explanations within the fight scenes that detract from the story. Some long and clunky sentences.The good stuff: The characters are well rounded and interesting. I also liked the magical weapons, the creatures and locations. The story is set in a well established world.In my opinion, this is a great fantasy novel with Orcs, Elves, Dwarves, magic and magical
If you're a fan of R.A. Salvatore and the Drizzt Do'urden series, you won't be disappointed by this book.
