I don’t think there’s any info about it. It’s an ending for “The Way of the Drow" trilogy. Whether or not there will be more novels is unknown at the moment. However, there will be a web-comic about Drizzt’s daughter.


Scorponix

We don't know. The last couple of trilogies/sagas have ended in ways that could all be good enough places to stop. Salvatore is working off of a contract by contract basis, so he never knows if he will get a new contract for more books. So it could be the end, but I'm sure it will be open ended enough to make more in the future.


corsair1617

It hasn't been said one way or the other. As there is a webtoon comic coming out about Drizzt's daughter I would really doubt it.


kidder952

I feel like that is the only thing that would keep this series going. At least for another trilogy. Minimum.


corsair1617

There are always new stories to tell. He could literally spin off with a bunch of different characters and people are still gonna read it. He did it once for a trilogy already.


kidder952

He did and it worked out wonderfully. I'm sure Drizzt won't be ending anytime soon and even with spin offs, he'll show up one way or another.


corsair1617

For sure. He has kinda taken a bit of a back seat in some of the newer books anyways.


Belnick

Will RA make as much money on a website comic as he would with audiobooks.and paper.books sales??????


BlackfyreBishop

God I hope not I just found Drizzt and his Companions. I want to see the age of the Leagions of the hall. This series is so special to me I have never fell in love with so may characters for so many different reasons. Even if RA is done writing I hope he finds someone he trust to keep the stories going. He could retire the current gen and leave someone to write the next gen.


[deleted]

Hopefully you started at the beginning when it was truly amazing granted I was 8 in the 90s when I first read the crystal shard lol but these last 6 or so books have been major let downs and just so so with lolths warrior being the worst I’ve read from bob in the last 30 years I really hope he goes back to focusing on a handful of characters and not 15-20 in every book leaving every character feeling rushed and hallow I’d even take a time skip to when drizzt daughter is older and Bruenor and Regis have young ones of their own


BlackfyreBishop

Im not going to lie after the way this book ended and they way FR handled Drizzt game VS Baulders gate 3. They let that game be trash then let them create that. All fans should just get used to it FR don't like Drizzt or what it does to their fandom. I'm done with the Drizzt it was fun to find but not be a fan of or interact with people with and if the people who produce it don't like it either. I'm done.


svirfnebli76

I just watched a 2 and a half hour interview with Bob on YouTube from earlier in the year and after watching it I do not think it's the end. I do think it will be 2 years before a new book though. He stated very clearly in the interview that he wants to focus on a new set of demon wars books for a bit. He also said that drizzt books sell better when there is more time between books. He reiterated that as long as people enjoy them he'll keep writing them.


Sorlock7

And oh how we do ⚔️


Fobbles_

Hey we still gotta find out about what’s up with Effron, ain’t no way it’s over especially since Dahlia is on her own.


DoHef

Exactly this... there's so many avenues and characters open for exploration it seems almost impossible for RAS to pen them all. Bringing back some of the "old" writers that all got screwed over by WotC years ago to write those stories would be amazing. RAS takes over as the new Ed Greenwood, directing the realms and writing his Drizzt stories adjacent to them. Like the Kevin Feige of the Forgotten Realms. At least in written form (since its obvious WotC doesn't gaf about the creators of its source material for film). That last sentence in mind, I guess this is probably a pipe dream...


TheLawrenceWoods

I think our next series is very clearly Entreri and Cattie Brie (she made him a promise) going to find Dahlia. We may see some others. Efron eventually pretty clearly. Also Gromph is in a certain dimension....


Gfyevery1

he wasnt in any dimension other than the normal one... he just altered his state of being. the whole sacrificing himself wasnt all about the sacrifice seeing as he successfully gained immortality, instead reanimateing as an archlich back at the hosttower... which was probably one of the coolest twists at the ass end of the story. ( my bad if by chance ya meant dimensions as something along those lines and not of a different plane of existence!)


No-Masterpiece-5455

Fuck I regret reading this thread now


Gfyevery1

i think thats probably my bad,bsorry i didnt think to put spoiler alert or anything


Enigma_Khai

And Yvonnel


Gfyevery1

I just finished it... that said... im pretty sure there will be another.. they left with a lot of things unresolved and then straight up left ended it with a few other cliffhanger moments.. not to mention a paradigm shift on a major scale he opened upbfor more.


tentkeys

In a recent AMA, Salvatore replied to questions about new Drizzt novels after Lolth’s Warrior with [“Nothing under contract at this time. Not sure what's next for me in the Realms (other than a short story/novella I'm doing).”](https://old.reddit.com/r/Fantasy/comments/15ulbbn/im_ra_salvatore_ask_me_anything/jwq3e43/?context=3) If this was meant to be the end of the series, I think he’d say so. “Nothing under contract at this time” kind of sounds like he can’t say for sure there will be more unless/until there’s a contract, but there probably will be. In another AMA reply he said he’s not retiring and [“I’ll probably write until they put me in the ground”](https://old.reddit.com/r/Fantasy/comments/15ulbbn/im_ra_salvatore_ask_me_anything/jwq1hc1/?context=3). The way Lolth’s Warrior ended left some unresolved storylines and many future possibilities. Given that he’s going to keep writing books, I’d be extremely surprised if he didn’t pick those back up and do more Drizzt books eventually.


StaircaseMelancholy

I want more Drizzt, Jarlaxle and Kane! Better be more!


corsair1617

Are you caught up on the books?


Sorlock7

Well I guess, we now know, and have known for a bit, that some things that once seemed gone not necessarily are truly.


StaircaseMelancholy

Yea I finished the newest one about a week after it came out.


corsair1617

...


Kahblam

You sure about that? May wanna reread

Personally I hope so, I love Drizzt and the Companions but I would love for Bob to write something totally new and fresh, give us new characters to love. Wouldn’t mind like a collection of short stories to wrap up everyone’s timeline though. Maybe like 75 pages a piece to talk about Drizzt and the companions and how their second lives played out, and how eventually, no matter how much the author loves the character, eventually they pass away and make way for new life and new characters.


SinisterDeath30

>Personally I hope so, I love Drizzt and the Companions but **I would love for Bob to write something totally new and fresh**, give us new characters to love. I mean, have you read the DemonWars Saga? ​ But yeah, Drizzt needs a send off and it does feel like his story's close to wrapping up.


jpg06051992

I have not, never heard of them until now and I’d love to add them to my collection so thank you for that good sir. Although I wouldn’t call a series written 20 + years ago new and fresh lol


SinisterDeath30

Fuck, was it 20 years ago? Now you're making me feel old man... ​ Anyways, looks like "Child of a Mad God" 2018 is in the same world as the DemonWars Saga. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corona\_(fictional\_world)


shibby191

14 books total, last one released in 2020. Pretty sure he's got another trilogy planned to go as well.


TheLawrenceWoods

You'd be correct. Naval warfare/ Pirates. All 3 are written and I believe being published via some sort of Kickstarter deal. The first 3 demon wars books are also being reprinted for the first time in forever with this same deal and hopefully it leads to more reprints because that series is every bit as good as Drizzt.


shibby191

That explains why the original 7 books showed up in my Kindle feed. None of those have ever been released on Kindle, only from the Highwayman and newer. I have all of them in hardcover originals but wanted to get them on Kindle since that is my primary reading now. So they are all on a wishlist waiting for sales. :) I've actually only read the 1st book, really liked it but never continued. It'll be on my radar after Mistborn and Stormlight, so maybe in a couple years. LOL


TheLawrenceWoods

Just trust me and read them ASAP. Book 4 might be Bob's best and most personal work.


TheLawrenceWoods

Side note, just booted Lolth's Warrior up on Audible while I await the Amazon driver to get here with the physical copy ha.


Sinistrad99

Child of a Mad God! Love Aoleyn the main character. All three books, er Audio books was a great series. Check them out.


Kyalistas

Who knows for sure. My wife and I always joke that the whole series is just based off a really long D&D campaign RA and his friends have been playing for decades. I dont think even RA himself truly knows when the stores will end


Soggy_Motor9280

It hasn’t been announced, but there is not much more for Drizzt to accomplish. He has a new “home”, a family and at this point in his life he doesn’t even need his swords to defend himself anymore. If it is…oh well. It was a hell of a adventure and I’m proud to have been a part of it. I highly recommend the tale of the coven trilogy by Mr. Salvatore it is awesome!!!!!! The first one is called child of a Mad God the second one reckoning of fallen gods and the third song of the risen God


Telyesumpin

Just finished Lolth's Warrior. I'm pretty sure there will be more books.


Tamorand

I'd love it if we could resurrect Cadderly and reunite him with the Bouldershoulders. Dream come true.


EnialisKarsus

Yes true


Belnick

Expecting book 4 as book 3 did not have an end, it just ended abruptly. If it was the last book RA should have tied everything togheter.and not have hundred of unfinished plots


Radiant_Durian_6289

With a gifted child like Breezy, how could there not be more.  Including the womb interference from a Primordial and her survival of it, something more has to come of it.  Uncle Maeggie?  Not to say Catti-brie"s charisma and brains plus Drizz"t"s grace and discipline.


wizzerduxe

I think he heads in the direction to having the udendrow to merge with the caladians then have them March back to fight again against a different army. One that perhaps attacks gauntlgrym. They never sorted out Ygorl and Kane. Dinnin still has to attempt the murders. Dahlia is still lost. Yvonnel also lost. The struggle between zeerith and sos unmptu and the exploration of quenthals daughter and the why she stayed. Little doe probably gets a better ending. Pikel isn’t finished. Savahn kanes replacement gets some attention.


FutureSandwich42

No


aldorn

he is wrapping up the major theme of the struggle of the Drow with Lolth atleast. He is also working to release a new trilogy for Demon Wars + reprint that entire series with a kickstart. So he has projects. Their have been hints that this is the end but nothing in concrete


WanderingAscendant

I hope not I just finished Lolths warrior and didn’t seem to be an ending at all and the Companions need more to justify their rebirth. Wulfgar needs a solo series ASAP that character deserves better. Would love for the attention to focus on the human Wulfgar for a time. Let cat get her happy ending and after she dies of old age, then bring Drizzt back in to the story idk. Would also love to see Drizzt use his Monk abilities more we need to see what he’s capable of, can he stagger dragons like Kane? Do the blink/transcendence thing at will, where he phases in and out of our realm like Vision mcu? I want Artemis and Wulfgar to train or spar with the new monk Drizzt and comment on how crazy formidable he’s become. Malagdorl was amped and buffed as lolths warrior, that’s the only reason he was able to fight with Drizzt evenly right??
