Story
Realizing that nobody else will take charge, and with the support of both dwarves and elves, Luthien and his followers stage guerilla raids on town after town. Luthien and his forces defeat scores of enemies and win huge numbers of allies. In the end, King Greensparrow sues for peace. Yet Luthien and Brind'Amour recognize that even in this time of celebration, Greensparrow cannot be trusted, and that the rumblings of a larger battle---for the freedom of the known world---loom in the not-too-distant future.

It is God's year 54, many years before the Demon Wars, in the land of Corona. The roads are unsafe to travel; goblins and bloodthirsty Powries search out human prey. Two religions struggle fiercely for control. Bran Dynard, a monk of the fledgling religion of Abelle, returns from his mission in a faroff land with a book of mystical knowledge and a beautiful and mysterious new wife. But he soon realizes that the world he left behind has changed, and his dream of spreading the wisdom he learned to his fellow monks is crushed.

Publisher's Summary
Young noble Luthien Bedwyr is too privileged to understand that his once-proud land, Eriador, suffers under the demonic oppression of Wizard-King Greensparrow. That is, until the day Luthien seeks justice for a friend's murder---only to become a fugitive fleeing the king's monstrous cyclopian soldiers. Befriended by the irrepressible "highwayhalfling" Oliver deBurrows, and enlisted by an ancient, mysterious mage, Luthien's exile will become an enchanted quest to steal a mystic prize from a dragon's hoard.
Suddenly, Eriador's enslaved humans, elves, and dwarfs begin to rally around rumored tales of a freedom fighter who strikes Greensparrow's foul minions...an unknown hero who wields a legendary sword and magic cape...a warrior who is invisible but who casts the "Crimson Shadow."

Entertaining, funny , a little predictable
A good story. I enjoyed it. I really liked the highwAyman character. He made me laugh. The rest was a little predictable. I definately enjoyed it. Its a good inbetween book... I finished some AWSOME epics, couldnt find any new ones, so I read this one. Short and entertaining. Like a good tv episode. Just not earth shattering.

Great but not the best of R.A. Salvatore
R.A. Salvatore has set a very high standard for his books while I very much enjoyed this book I did not find myself obsessing over it as I usually do I feel it was shorter and therefor lacking in the character development the love interest while usually very developed was pretty 2d

up and down
Well I was coming off the heals of Driizt's first trilogy so my expectations were high. I wanted to get into this one but I just couldnt get into the main character. His sidekick was cool, but the story had trouble holding me. There were moments I listened intently and moments I zombied through. Still, it ended on a high note and I'm planning on the sequel.

Going to sleep
What disappointed you about The Sword of Bedwyr?
The book is very complex for an Audible book. Like reading an extensive history lesson and my BA was in history...So the book may be fine, but I was a bit overwhelmed by the deluge of information instead of a more gradual introduction. I love elaborate stories, but this one just did not work for me.
What was most disappointing about R. A. Salvatore’s story?
The narration was uninspiring. There are so many excellent narrators and this was not one of them.
What didn’t you like about David Drummond’s performance?
His monotone. Reading it like its a history of Rome, not a fantasy novel.
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
RA Salvatore is a wonderful writer and I may read, rather than listen to this book. Once I have the reading down, I may switch back to the less than stellar narrator.
