A review by ferrisscottr
The Sword of Bedwyr by R.A. Salvatore
3.0
First book in the Crimson Shadow trilogy, a series written by Salvatore early in his writing career (about 25 years ago). It reads like a Salvatore book, in fact if you didn't know he wrote it and then read the book I'm pretty sure you would say that it was Salvatore.
So we've got...
Great characters ~ can anyone say Oliver deBurrows!
Amazing fight scenes.
Old School (that's a good thing) plot ~ son of an earl who leaves home after some stuff happened (no spoilers here), his father's land and holdings are in name only because of the conqueror's who came before, chance meeting with a wizard, magical artifacts that lead to great deeds and legendary tales.
I liked this and will definitely continue the series.
I would probably only recommend this to fans of Salvatore (or Eddings or Brooks etc.) because it does read as a little bit dated and he was still learning the craft of writing so it is not as good as other books by him.
