However, you could reasonably hold this series off until Passage to Dawn (Book 10) which is when Cadderly makes his appearance into Drizzt Do’Urden’s timeline.īut I strongly recommend you read it at least before The Thousand Orcs (Book 17) as a few of the supporting characters in the Cleric Quintet make their appearance into the Drizzt timeline. That will help you understand Drizzt Do’Urden & Cadderly better when the characters crossover.

Publication order dictates that you read them immediately after finishing both The Dark Elf Trilogy and the Icewind Dale Trilogy but before you start The Legacy (Book 7 in its self-titled series The Legacy of the Drow Quartet). However, Cadderly makes a cameo in the Drizzt series, so, to me, these books are essential reading for the Drizzt series. Strictly speaking, The Cleric Quintet aren’t Drizzt books, and that’s probably why.

Oddly enough (or maybe not?), The Cleric Quintet was not included in the Legend of Drizzt series order when Wizards of the Coast (or Penguin, or whoever owns these books now) re-covered all of Salvatore’s books and relisted the series. If you want to skip the discussion, you can go straight for all 40+ Drizzt books in order at the end of this post. If you do any bit of research, you’ll see that the newest version of the books are actually labeled Legend of Drizzt Book 1 all the way to book 39, Lolth’s Warrior, which is set to publish on August 15, 2023.īut that doesn’t take into account that some readers prefer to read by order of publication rather than in Chronological order, so we’ll talk about both. Most of the books are pretty obvious in their order. Lolth’s Warrior (The Way of the Drow #3) August 15, 2023

If you’d like to purchase autographed copies of his books, he regularly offers e-signings on his website. An amazing accomplishment for a single series. Salvatore and The Legend of Drizzt have sold more than 35 million books worldwide. So with that in mind, I’ve put all the Drizzt books in order just for you. I love to tell people about my favorite series, but with 40+ novels, it’s understandably hard to tell where to start. In fact, Salvatore’s The Thousand Orcs was the first fantasy book that I ever read.

Salvatore is my favorite author of all time, and Drizzt Do’Urden is my favorite book character ever. Last updated on January 10th, 2023 at 09:10 am
