About this ebook
Spending just one day in the torture chambers of the Abyss would be enough to break even the heartiest soul. Wulfgar of Icewind Dale was there for six miserable years. Though Wulfgar has since been freed, he is still haunted by the memories of the pain he endured at his captor Errtu's hands. Hoping to distance himself from his past, he flees to the faraway port city of Luskan—but in so doing, isolates himself from his friends and develops an unhealthy penchant for booze.
For Wulfgar, things get worse before they get better. Fired from his gig at a tavern, robbed of his warhammer, and accused of murder, he goes on the run with Morik the Rogue—beginning a dangerous, combat-filled journey toward his redemption.
The Spine of the World is the second book in the Paths of Darkness series and the twelfth installment in the Legend of Drizzt series.

Reviews for The Spine of the World
7 ratings6 reviews
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Eh, I like Wulfgar, but like many people have mentioned, he isn't strong enough to be the central character. Supporting character is more his style.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Right up until the very end, I was unsure of what I thought of this book. I certainly didn't find it as engaging as the others; the tone was a bit different, and Wulfgar is probably my least favourite character of the group. It took a while for him to really make any progress here, and the other storyline didn't merge with his until quite far into the book. After I'd finished it, though, I found it oddly satisfying. I have the feeling that this is a book I'll enjoy more the second time through.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5By this point I have no idea why I'm even bothering with Salvatore
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The Spine of the World is the sad tale of Wulfgars fall from grace after suffering years of torture at mighty Errtu's evil hands. Roaming the streets of Luskan with Morik the Rogue at his side and a case of boos in his belly Wulfgar becomes a sad version of his former self.I found this book to be overall enjoying even though at times a bit slow compared to Salvatores other books in this series. In the end a fine addition to the series.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This is the worst R.A. Savatore book that I have read.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5While this is listed int he Drizzt series of books, it is really about Wulfgar. As he is one of the favorite characters in the books, that's a god thing, but this is not a happy story. Happy or not, Salvatore does a really good job handling a story about an adventurer unhappy about the path his life has taken. Great job writing something that isn't the usual FR fantasy.
