5.0 out of 5 stars WOW, 12 Dec 2005
This review is from: Promise of the Witch King: Bk. 2 (Forgotten Realms: The Sellswords) (Hardcover)
What a read, R.A. Salvatore does what he does best in this book, he twists and turns the novel in so many ways that you never know what will happen next. I also love the relationship that he has created between Artemis Entreri and Jarlaxle, one of constant bickering and sniping yet you feel that they rely on each other and care for each other more than they admit. I love the way that the book speeds you into the present day with a quick catch up since the servant of the shard and then on with the adventure, and adventure there is. A great plot that is matched by the strength of the characters, you feel thier pain and you feel their happiness, he explores Entreri in great detail and this is perfect, the story is on going and yet in the side view there is this on going battle inside our main hero, something that was touched upon in the previous book, is thrown wide open here.

A great read and one that all fans of the series and genre will enjoy, I may be a great fan of Drizzt Do'Urden but this book has put Entreri up there with him, Jarlaxle aswell is displayed in the way that you wish and the new alliances that are formed make a truely wonderful book, and me in waiting for the next one.

This offers all that we expect of R.A. Salvatore and more, once again he pushes the limits of our minds and produces a great book, there are no weak parts and the ending leaves the reader wanting the final part of the trilogy now.

Long may R.A. Salvatore keep writing books if they are all as intricate as this and as deep into the minds of the characters. A must read for all fantasy fans.

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly Enjoyable, 21 Sep 2007
By AK Jones (Oxford, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
RA Salvatore has created some of the most memorable characters in the Forgotten Realms setting. Of course, amongst those is Drizzt whose exploits are followed by a fair amount of novels. Another character, Artemis Entreri, who originally served as an archenemy and equal to Drizzt now gets his own storyline, which started with Servant of the Shard. Promise of the Witch-king is the second book in a trilogy which finds Artemis and his friend (although the assassin wouldn't say as much), Jarlaxle, in a far different setting - the Bloodstone Lands.

In the first half of the book, Artemis and Jarlaxle meet some powerful characters with whom they go on a dungeon crawl in the final section of the book. And it's a dungeon crawl in the grand Dungeons and Dragons sense, with a set of characters each with their own special abilities, abundant monsters and traps, although not that much treasure. The leader of the party, a goody goody charismatic ranger, tries his best to keep the party united, but that's no easy task, as everyone, it seems, has their own agenda. Artemis and Jarlaxle got to where they were by trusting no one, and it's a policy they must maintain to survive the deadly dungeon, as a knife in the back from a fellow party member is just as likely as encountering some dungeon denizen. The resulting intrigue keeps the pages turning and makes this a highly enjoyable tale.

There are some issues that ties nicely into the next story, namely, Jarlaxle dancing amongst allegiances with a paladin king, a powerful dragon duo and an assassin's guild. Will Jarlaxle will be able to handle all of this? Also, has Artemis found true love?

Looking forward to the final book in the trilogy.

5.0 out of 5 stars brilliant, 31 Jan 2006
By Philip M. Yexley "philyexley" (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Promise of the Witch King: Bk. 2 (Forgotten Realms: The Sellswords) (Hardcover)
The 'evil' characters of Artemis and Jarlaxle are developed well throughout the book that is filled with action. Great read and not too complicated. Can't wait to see further books in this series.
