From Publishers Weekly

Bestselling Salvatore (Starless Night) returns with a pleasant fantasy novel, notable mainly for its attention to detail. Salvatore describes and choreographs battle scenes better than any other contemporary fantasist, as this first tale of the adventures of Luthien Bedwyr amply demonstrates. The naive Luthien plunges into a series of events, beginning with a self-imposed exile from his father's kingdom of Bedwyr, which has fallen "under the iron rule of King Greensparrow of Avon," that test his mettle and increase the political stakes for which he must fight. As Salvatore carefully and exquisitely builds his narrative, Luthien, along with the charming Oliver de Burrows?self-described thief with the obligatory heart of gold?finds his actions becoming more consequential, especially in his Robin Hood-like guise as the "Crimson Shadow." The tale is satisfactorily resolved, but with enough matters left hanging to suggest that readers looking forward to a sequel may well be rewarded.

From Library Journal

Young Luthien Bedwyr's blind loyalty to his father, the Earl of Bedwydrin, turns to contempt when he realizes that his father is powerless against the agents of the evil Wizard-King who rules their land. Taking to the road to fight for justice, Luthien acquires a roguish (and diminutive) highway halfling companion, a magical cape, and a reputation as "The Crimson Shadow." The author of the "Dark Elf" series tries his hand at swashbucking fantasy with this fast-paced series opener. Although an overabundance of swordplay leaves marginal room for character development, the heroes' escapades pave the way for future adventures. Libraries looking to satisfy a demand for fantasy adventure may want to consider this title.

3.0étoiles sur 5 Mediocre, at a high school level., Mai 28 2004
Ce commentaire est de: The Sword of Bedwyr (Mass Market Paperback)
To be honest I bought this book for the cover. I read the book in high school, when I hope most who read this book do.

Honestly, Salvatore is not for developed minds. He writes towards a coming of age/ juvenile audience, and uses borrowed themes, races, and even plots to appease his readers. He garners no authentic mythology, but festers on clichéd artifacts such as crystals and swords.

If you like clichéd smutty fantasy, you will love this book. If you like soaps perhaps a particular soap called "Passions," you will love this book.

If you are looking for diverse, authentic mythological high fantasy, you are bound to be disappointed with any of Salvatore's work.

Extra note: The pretension of the pseudonymous pen-name disgruntled me as well.

3.0étoiles sur 5 Okay, but not Salvatore's best., Mars 12 2003
Ce commentaire est de: The Sword of Bedwyr (Mass Market Paperback)
I would say that I was disappointed, but I wasn't expecting a Dark Elf Trilogy. The characters, especially the main character Luthien, were not very well developed and rather simple. Oliver was interesting, but he was the only developed character. Luthien, the main character, just was not that likeable. I never found myself cheering for Luthien, but Oliver was cool. The plot is ok, but I didn't really find the cyclopians very interesting for bad guys. Some of the things within the book were well written and interesting, but it would hurt anyone's view of the book when you are comparing it to his Forgotten Realms masterpieces.
Salvatore is still a great author, but I would recommend reading all of his Forgotten Realms novels before tackling this one. There are so many great fantasy books out there you can probably find a better one you haven't read, but hardcore Salvatore fans might enjoy it.

2.0étoiles sur 5 This can't be a Salvatore book, Janv. 10 2003
Par P.H. "isabollie" (Savannah, GA United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
After immersing myself in several of Salvatore's tales (Icewind Dale trilogy, Dark Elf trilogy, etc.), I picked up this series. Unfortunately, it was nowhere near as interesting or compelling to read as his other titles. I agree with the earlier reviewer in that I could not for the life of me get into the story. I didn't even finish the last book, simply because I didn't really care what happened. Not at all what I expected to be, I can't really recommend this to anyone but the most devout Salvatore fan. Instead, read the Demon Wars Saga: much, much better.
