Product Description

Explore the mind of an assassin in R.A. Salvatore's exciting conclusion to The Sellswords Trilogy!

The drow mercenary Jarlaxle and his companion, the human assassin Artemis Entreri, have begun to make a home for themselves in the rugged Bloodstone Lands. But not everyone is ready to trust a man who's spent his life killing for coin, much less a member of a race of subterranean elves known for their fanatical devotion to a demon goddess. If they want to make it out of the Bloodstone Lands alive, they'll have to learn to trust their enemies, and be suspicious of their friends.

great book, Sunday, August 01, 2010

My Husband loves this book he has read the entire series and loves them all.

Rating: 5 out of 5

One of the best I've read, Thursday, February 18, 2010

An awesome series! I wish Salvatore would have expanded on these characters, but he does introduce a couple of them to his Drizzt series. Excellent read!

Good read, Monday, July 13, 2009

I write this review with mixed feelings. Just because I'm not happy about the way the book ended (with me mourning one character and wishing I could hurt another one) doesn't mean I didn't appreciate the journey to that end.

Characters: Jarlaxle and Artemis continue growing as beings mentally and emotionally and getting more and more developed. There were some haters of the Bloodstone Crew (Gareth and Co.) and I'm don't blame them. I'm glad the author didn't go into great character development about them because the story wasn't about them at all and it would've taken valuable print away from the antiheroes.

The way it ended seemed to kill off all reasons/ways/avenues for any furthering of this particular story line, which saddens me because I really enjoyed Jarlaxle and Entreri over the Drizz't crew (sorry, ya just gotta love the antiheroes).

There is full revelation (if you will) about what motivates these characters as well.

I don't know. I almost wish I hadn't read it so that the adventures could continue, in my imagination at least. But definately fills in all the gaps. It did seem a rushed though at some points, however.
