After the settling dust of the demon uprising and two years of peace, rumblings from the Menzoberranzan drow have Jarlaxle nervous. Worried his allies may be pulled into a Civil War between the great Houses, he is eager to ensure Zaknafein is armed with weapons befitting his skill, including one in particular. A powerful artifact, the sword known as “Cutter” has started wars, corrupted its users, and spilled the blood of many, many people. Nonetheless - or maybe because of that - the rogue Jarlaxle and a small group will go on an expedition looking for the weapon’s last wielder.

Roshar is a world of stone and storms. Uncanny tempests of incredible power sweep across the rocky terrain so frequently that they have shaped ecology and civilization alike. Animals hide in shells, trees pull in branches, and grass retracts into the soilless ground. Cities are built only where the topography offers shelter. It has been centuries since the fall of the 10 consecrated orders known as the Knights Radiant, but their Shardblades and Shardplate remain: mystical swords and suits of armor.

BWAHAHA! R.A. Salvatore does it again!
I have been reading Salvatore's books since the early '90's when I picked up the Crystal Shard, and he has remained one of my all time favorite authors. Lots of action and lots of story building. He has made such an impact on Faerun over the years, campaigns would not have been the same without his influence.
This, book one of the Sundering, is the most exciting book since the Crystal Shard. This book sets the stage for the 'rebirth' of Faerun and the return of the Gods and magic. The Companions of the Hall are reunited and it was not cheesy at all.
I'm glad to hear Mr. Bevine is the narrator again. He does a fantastic job and I look forward to hearing more from him. I can't wait to see what adventures befall the Companions in the next book. As with all of Salvatore's books, this one is well worth the credit.
CAUTION: If you have not played D&D for a number of years, this novel may make you want to blow the dust off your books and call up your old adventuring party. Faerun is going to get really really interesting.

Salvatore's best work yet
The Companions is Mr. Salvatore's best work. It fulfills all the promise of the 2 original trilogies. It seems like Mr. Salvatore has reclaimed his love of the Forgotten Realms, and the amazing mythology and characters he has created for the world of Faerun. If you were disappointed by the more recent Drizzt books, but loved the first 6, pick up The Last Threshold (to catch you up to the current story, for a 4th book it is a surprisingly good starting point) and The Sundering. This was my favorite of R.A. Salvatore's books to date.

Best Drizzt Novel Yet
The world is changing. That is the theme of The Sundering, the new series from Forgotten Realms. In this six book series the writers promise us new and world changing events. The first novel in this series is The Companions by R. A. Salvatore. As a fan of the Drizzt series of novels I was very excited when I saw this title.
First with The Dragon King and then in Gauntlgrym the friends of Drizzt knows as The Companions of the Hall died. It was heartbreaking to lose these characters. In the following three books Drizzt spends his time trying to come to grips with his loss and move on. Little did we know that something this special and amazing was in store.
There are so many surprises and changes in this book that it is hard to review. I don’t want to spoil any of the surprises. Let us just say that we get to see our favorite companions again. They have been sent back with a mission. They must help Drizzt in his greatest struggle. Their path back will be strange. It will be dangerous. As they move through the challenges before them they grow and mature in new and powerful ways.
Salvatore uses this book to really develop the characters of the Companions. After reading this book I can’t wait to see how the story continues. To avoid spoiling the story I won’t say much about the plot. I will say that this is one of Salvatore’s best novels to date and it made me laugh, it made my cry, and it left me wanting more. If you are a fan of the Drizzt novels then I suggest you buy this book now.

More please! No Spoilers.
After reading the first 24 books in the series getting the 25th was a no brainer. After the appropriately gloomy Neverwinter series this new addition to the series is pleasantly upbeat. The plot is incredibly original and I think the book is a great edition to the series and I will be looking forward to the release of the next one.
There is a problem with this book that I don't like, one of the characters acts in ways that is out of sync with everything else written about them. And while I was listening I kept thinking that it didn't make any sense dispite Salvatore's explanations for the behavior. And I get characters and authors change over time but this kind of seemed unrealistic even for a series that once had a rhyming dwarf in it. I also skipped all of the monolauges in between the Acts of the books because they have been over the top melo drama for a while now or always... probably always. Fictional violence is always the best way to solve fictional problems.
If you haven't read any books from the other series concerning this cast of characters you will be lost. This is the 25th book of the main series and the 27th if you include the parallel series that stems from servant of the shard. While the author does have a few reminders of what happened before scattered around the book it is not nearly enough. But this is an excellent series and the old books are being converted to audio. Start with Homeland, it is great and for the most part they all are. Just remember you're aloud to ship ahead chapters because Salvatore has always ended chapters in cliff hangers only to be followed by three chapters divoted to people on the other side of the world.
If you have been avoiding The Dark Elf series because it's too popular. I strongly recommend 2666 by Roberto Bolaño. 2666 is an absolutely horrible book that no one likes, because it is horrible.

Return of the deadly crew
Where does The Companions rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Very high
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Companions?
Rumblebelly's story, especially the beginning where he mimics the 'Lion' from the Wizard of Oz.
Have you listened to any of Victor Bevine’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
no
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
A fresh version of an old storyline
Any additional comments?
I was very interested in seeing how the author overcame the fact that everyone had died and had to be reborn with all their prior memories. He did a very good job on everyone except Battleaxe. I felt the whole 'being mad' until he spoke with Pwent was just not in his character, based on his prior books. He just never would have placed his feelings for Drizzzt the far below, especially for 20 years.

"He swallowed hard."
Where does The Companions rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
I'm a big fan of the heroes of RA Salvatore's creation in the wonderful world of D&D. I started from the beginning with Regis Rumblebelly, Bruenor, Drizzt, Catterbrie, and Wulfgar graced us in the crystal shard series.
I'm a fantasy author myself and consider Mr. Salvatore a mentor. There was a time that his books dipped down in creativity and storyline and especially when he started killing off the companions we have all grown to love, but with this new book he really brought it all home. I enjoyed it from page one all the way to the end and long for more.
With every book an author writes there is usually something that the author over uses in verbiage and that one phrase in this book was, "He swallowed hard." RA Salvatore, if you are reading this then you know exactly what I mean...us authors can't catch everything but I laughed everytime it was said cause it was the one thing over used....just a small nit-pick.
I am so pleased to have the Companions back together again! Well done!

Well worth the Read.
What did you love best about The Companions?
The story takes the three characters 180 degrees from what they've always known. Through their newfound struggles, it makes their lives richer and stronger.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Tough one. Regis. Because his resolve to become braver than his previous life takes real gumption...something he's never personally known.
Which character – as performed by Victor Bevine – was your favorite?
All three are written solidly, and the performance by Bevine is well done.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Emotions are something Salvatore knows how to tap into. He is the cream of the crop for fantasy writers.
Any additional comments?
This book ranks up there with The Crystal Shard series. However, I don't know if I will ever read anything better than the Dark Elf Trilogy.

Well done-Our fav. band is back
That was just what i needed!
I listen to the books at work, when alone or driving, fortunately i was able to finish this book in 2 days, i could not leave it once i began.
I will be honest i havnt liked the books in the Neverwinter trilogy much, Last Threshold was not too bad. I also wasnt sure i could forgive RA Salvatore for making good old proud Pwent into a vampire without any seemingly deeper meaning. Some of us are sentimental you know.
Little did i realize it was all a plot hehe
I was dubious about the idea of reincarnation of the heroes, they did so well in life and how could a new life live up to that.
Again i was proven wrong
Amazing book!
Back with the swing of a notched axe!
I wont bring any spoilers but it brought me back to the days of the halflings gem, only this time i already love the characters and been thru so much.
Extremely well done Mr. Salvatore

What's Actually going on?
Terrible. I have no idea what is supposed to be happening. No thanks. Awful.

A true epic for every fan.
If you're a fan of Salvatore and the legend of Drizzt, then this is the most incredible journey of emotions. A true roller coaster of hope and joy and as incredible as the first time I read it years ago. Having read and followed this series for decades no other book brings a smile or tear to the eye like this. The promise of a lifetime of epic takes to come.

I have enjoyed all of the Drizzt books so far and have enjoyed this one more so than the last trilogy with the resurrection of some old familiar characters, but can someone please teach victor how to pronounce parent?😁

Solid start to a new series
There's a great story here, both for those old school fans and newcomers. There are lots of references to adventure of old, that long time readers will appreciate. Yet this is well balanced with character development which allows it to be a great jumping in point for first time readers/listeners. Well written and well narrated.

Pretty good apart from all of the Catti-brie
The action scenes featuring Regis and Bruenor are excellent, the story hits on many Forgotten Realms settings with wonderful details. The only let down are the chapters featuring the voice of Catti-brie, who sounds eternally whiny and limp-wristed.

Brilliant!
Reincarnation. Soulful reflection. Perfection of self. The inner journey. Within these themes Salvatore packs a captivating adventure for each of the heroes Bruennor, Catti-Brie, Regis and for a time, Wulfgar. The divinely appointed mission to aid Drizzt in his hour of need is a cleverly crafted tale of commitment to the bonds of friendship between the Companions of the Hall.

Turgid writing and awful narration. I got about 2 hours in but couldn't finish it.
