Query: The magic is back

Once again, Salvatore has achieved greatness. As with many authors involved in multiple projects, Salvatore's Forgotten Realms works have been declining in quality as he must be spread too thin. This is very evident considering what we have come to expect after the Icewind Dale and Dark Elf Trilogies. Every book since those six has been worse than the previous. This newest effort continues his work at fleshing out the other characters of the series, reversing the downward trend, and being of high quality again. Here we see Jarlaxle and Entreri struggling against the machinations of the Drow and the Crystal Shard, with new incites provided into their pasts and motivations. This book was a vast improvement over the last few novels, and I recommend it highly. However, as you might read in all the other reviews, Drizzt is once again absent, but it's still an excellent read. No one can bring to life a combat scene as well as Salvatore, and he shows it many times here.
