Centuries ago, in the city of Menzoberranzan, the City of Spiders, the City of Drow, nestled deep in the unmerciful Underdark of Toril, a young weapon master earned a reputation far above his station or that of his poor house. The greater nobles watched him, and one matron, decided to take him as her own. She connived with rival great houses to secure her prize, but that prize was caught for her by another, who came to quite enjoy the weapon master. This was the beginning of the friendship between Zaknafein and Jarlaxle, and the coupling of those who would sire Drizzt Do'Urden.

The vast road network of Honce, completed a decade before, had brought great optimism to the people of the land. Commerce could travel more freely and so could armies, and those armies, it was hoped, would rid the land at long last of the vicious, bloody cap dwarfs and goblins. For the first time, the many individual kingdoms, the holdings of Honce, would be brought closer together, perhaps even united.

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.

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.
