Neverwinter is the second book in the Neverwinter saga. The first book is Gauntlgrym. The third book untitled at this time will no doubt be released October 2012.
Neverwinter continues from where Gauntlgrym left off with Drizzt and his new partner getting ready to check on an old "friend". There is still much unrest in Neverwinter and things are about to get more dire for the citizens there. Some subplots involve Drizzt's perspective on this new life and how he feels about his new companion, the seeking of freedom of an old acquaintance, and others that would lead to spoilers.
This novel is not as deep as previous books and is more of a hack and slash type with a plethora of action throughout. So much so that it almost became a bit boring to me, however, once the book gets to the final action sequence, I was deeply involved and not so much for the action itself but the characters involved. The main plot seems more to be just a continuation of that in Gauntlgrym with Sylora trying to create a catastrophe so immense as to feed the dread ring. The characters for the most part do not develop much, but what there is feels right. The pacing is fast, mostly due to all the action taking place and this really sums up mostly what this book is about.
Some criticisms:
1. With all that is going on, I was hoping for more character development. I will say that at least now we don't have Drizzt constantly whining over the loss of his companions and making strives to move on.
