Split between time and two worlds, Zaknafein had always been conflicted. That inner turmoil was magnified by his inferior position as a male dark elf in the matriarchal drow society. Only his status as one of the greatest warriors - as well as his friendship with the mercenary Jarlaxle - kept him sane. When he finally perished, he was content knowing he left behind a legacy as substantial as his son, Drizzt. Except...someone isn’t ready for Zaknafein to be dead. And now he’s back, hundreds of years later, in a world he doesn’t recognize.

Excellent bridge book!
The book filled in a few gaps for me that before were only events that had been mentioned but without much elaboration. The author drops little golden nuggets throughout the drizdt series and it was nice for some of those events to be written and compiled.

Wish a couple of the narrators were better
Would you listen to The Legend of Drizzt: The Collected Stories again? Why?
The stories, typical of R.A. Salvatore, were excellent. He has long been one of my favorite writers of fantasy. However, a couple of the narrators were less than stellar, and were a disappointment. Ice-T, and his pretentious insistence on pronouncing the 'w' in 'sword' was the low point for me. In a couple of the action sequences, when he got more excited, he actually pronounced the word correctly, revealing the mispronunciation was an affectation. The highlights of the narration, for me, were Felicia Hardy, Tom Felton, Will Wheaton, and Sean Astin. David Duchovny was the other letdown.
I will listen to the audio book again, but will likely avoid the chapter read by Ice-T. This is a shame, as that chapter has arguably the best Drizzt battle sequences.
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Legend of Drizzt: The Collected Stories?
I really enjoyed finding out more of the backstory on Guenhwyvar. Tom Felton did an excellent job narrating.

Will Wheaton, please read all my books to me.
Will Wheaton was awesome, I wish he had read every story in the audiobook. Bravo.
I won't name names but, if this particular reader was perhaps an Iced Tea that i bought from the convenience store of audio beverages i would return it for tasting monotone and generally lack luster.

A Great Listen , mostly
The stories are great. I enjoyed them from start to finish. Most of the narrators are also great. A couple don't really perform as well as the others. I'm not sure if it's because the stories settings don't match with the style of their performance, or if they didn't try as hard as the others.
Notably Ice T's performance doesn't seem to match the story he reads.

Ice-T's narration was a bit rough, but otherwise an enjoyable listen.
I haven't read any Salvatore in quite a while. Listening to these tales was like reuniting with old friends. If you enjoy any of his other work, you'll enjoy these stories.

Mixed performances, disconnected stories
Cast performance varies with Dan Harmon and Al Jankovic being stand outs and Ice T unfortunately being a low point (elvish names do not come naturally to him, and a pretty philosophical story does not fit his narrative voice). Similarly, the interest of the stories varies for me as someone not intimately aware of the history of the legend of Drizzt but still fairly engaging throughout

This is a reasonable collection of short stories, some better than others and with mixed levels of narration.
The changes in pace for the stories and narration made it less than ideal for me.

Not Bad... Overall
What did you like best about this story?
It isn't just one story... it is a short story anthology. I liked hearing about different characters who have appeared in the novels of the Legend of Drizzt. Wil Wheaton was an especially engaging narrator.
What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?
The lack of enthusiasm from certain narrators: Ice-T and David Duchovny (sp.?), I'm sorry to say lacked feeling and affected my ability to connect with their respective stories.
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
A couple of the narrators made me groan in frustration at their lack of feeling. See the previous question

I’d never heard of Drizzt before picking up this book and what a wonderful introduction it has been.
I was caught by surprise by the narrators and entertained throughout. Would recommend highly as a starting point for anyone interested in Dungeons & Dragons fiction, Salvatore is a great writer.

Essential for any fans of Drizzt and AD&D
A great collection of stories read and performed by some great (and surprising) names, all of whom are longtime fans of the awesome Drizzt Do'Urden the renegade Drow. Get quickly transported to the fantastical world of Faerun, part of the Forgotten Realms and tag along for an amazing ride full of magic, beasts, adventure and danger!! Enjoy!!

Great for new listeners!
I really enjoyed this collection, having never read any of the Legend of Drizzt novels.
Many of the stories felt like excellent introductions to characters I know to be beloved, and have enough lore to draw me in, without requiring a detailed knowledge of the series.
I'm now going to book one of the legend to start working my way through.
The readers were all excellent in different ways; my only criticism would be that, for me as an Englishman, some of the American pronunciations sounded a little forced, and brought me back out if the story as they jarred. That said, having a host of very familiar voices reading a great collection of stories was fantastic!

A combination of great writing (as expected from Salvatore), and great narration. While I found all the narrators good, Ice T certainly stood out for me; I would love to hear him narrate the rest of Salvatore's work (that would be an awesome combination).
This is a must for all Drizzt Fans.
