The Legend of Drizzt: The Collected Stories by R. A. Salvatore

Unabridged Collected Stories
I was able to download the unabridged audio version of The Legend of Drizzt: The Collected Stories by R. A. Salvatore for FREE from either Amazon or Audible (I forget which one) some time ago now.

Listening time for The Legend of Drizzt: The Collected Stories by R. A. Salvatore is 10 hours, 27 minutes.

Below is my unbiased, honest review of The Legend of Drizzt: The Collected Stories by R. A. Salvatore.

Prior to listening to The Legend of Drizzt: The Collected Stories, I'd never read or listened to anything written by R. A. Salvatore before. I'd heard R. A. Salvatore's name over the years... But I've never been a huge science fiction or fantasy genre lover, which is why I'd never read any of his books until now. 

Long story short, I thought a free collection of short stories read by various narrators would make a great introduction to a new to me author and help me explore a genre I normally don't read that often.

Overall I thought the various narrators did a good job of reading each short story... With the exception of Ice T's narration, which I didn't like as much. For the most part, each story of the short stories, just weren't my thing... There were some good stories in this collection, just not stories from a genre I truly enjoy reading or listening to as the stories weren't ones I find that captivating. Because of this, I didn't enjoy The Legend of Drizzt: The Collected Stories by R. A. Salvatore all that much and almost stopped listening to this collection of short stories at various times.

The following is a publisher's summary for The Legend of Drizzt: The Collected Stories by R. A. Salvatore from Audible:
The Legend of Drizzt: The Collected Stories expands upon the epic legend of the dark elf with 12 tales performed by the all-star cast of Felicia Day, Dan Harmon, Greg Grunberg, Tom Felton, Danny Pudi, Sean Astin, Melissa Rauch, Ice-T, Wil Wheaton, Al Yankovic, Michael Chiklis, and David Duchovny! 
For years, the Legend of Drizzt has included short stories published in Forgotten Realms anthologies and Dragon magazine. Available here for the first time in audio are all the classic stories by the New York Times best-selling author R. A. Salvatore!
From the startling origin of Drizzt’s panther companion, to the tale of Jarlaxle and Entreri’s first encounter with the dragon sisters, the tales in The Collected Stories enrich this vividly-imagined series by building the world around Drizzt through exploring the backstories of side characters and magical locations.
I'm giving The Legend of Drizzt: The Collected Stories by R. A. Salvatore a rating of 2 stars out of 5 stars.

Until my next post, happy reading!!
