Our view
“The Halfling’s Gem” closes the Icewind Dale trilogy with its biggest adventure, a rescue chase with well-staged fights and a duel that had to come. Readers call it a fitting conclusion. Between battles the companions stop to take stock of themselves and each other, and some value what the book says about prejudice. The two earlier volumes should come first.
