Honestly, I followed Drizzt up until Gauntlgrym, and I found that the original Icewind Dale Trilogy to be by far the best of the lot. I lost interest in Salvatore around the time that he did Vector Prime, (and yes, I DID get angry), but I'd probably try to keep reading the series in chronological order.
I don't think personally that one could really have a good understanding of all the events that have transpired in between The Halfling's Gem and Gauntlgrym without having read a good many of them.
Or you could do as I do when I kinda want to know the gist of a movie or novel, but don't really want to read it, is go read the plot synopses on Wikipedia. Generally, they're fan written, so fairly complete, and can act as a Cliff's Notes, without all the whiny existential emo "why do I suffer so" monologues that frequently take up pages of Drizzt.
