If you're a fan of Salvatore- this is a must.
If you're a fan of fantasy- this is a must.
If you are a fan of reading- this is... a nice read.

I love the character development in Salvatore's books- and this series easily has the most of that compared to any of his others.

A good place to pick up if you've never read any of Salvatore's Forgotten Realms books- or if you already love the series, as I do.

R.A. Salvatore brings us back to the world of the Forgotten Realms, the story brings us back to the life of Drizzt Do'Urden a renegade Dark Elf that has turned his back on his evil heritage and walks the path of a hero.

The Orc king Obould Many Arrows has bounced back from his previous defeat at the hands of the Dwarves. Under the manipulation of the Drow (Dark Elves), Obould has allied with the Queen of the Frost Giants, Gerti. They have started mounting small scale raids against the Dwarves, killing several small bands.

At the same time Bruenor, the new Dwarven King of Mithral Hall, is travelling home with Drizzt and his heroic companions. They stop by the rival city of Mirabar and are rebuffed by the human leaders. This is an affront to Mirabar's Dwarven population and sows the seed of rebellion which will lead to further strife.

King Bruenor continues his travels home, to find the last two survivors of the Orcs raid on a dwarven trade caravan. Bruenor quickly gives them...

Im a long time reader of this series, so ive gotten acustomed to Salvatore's style. I thought this trilogy was one of the weaker of the series. However, if you read the series pick it up. It's still worth it. It'll quench that Drizzit addiction one tends to aquire.

Promise of the Witch King (Forgotten Realms: The Sellswords)
Submitted by Reviewer (not verified) on Saturday, November 12, 2005 - 23:32 ( S )

Promise of the Witch King (Forgotten Realms: The Sellswords, Book 2), is written by R. A. Salvatore, was released on 2005-10-25, is made by Wizards of the Coast, Usually ships in 24 hours. The list price is around US$27.95. (*The prices are subject to change) Street price is around $20.40.
Finally! Finally R.A. Salvatore delivers. Many of his recent works have been junkers but this one is right up there as one of the better Forgotten Realms novels. This leaves me wondering why Salvatore can no longer deliver on his Drizzt novels when this story holds everything that I hope to find when I read the books on the kind hearted Drow.

The Promise of the Witch King has action and adventure on every single page. Not only that but Salvatore manages in this novel to keep mystery and unravels it in unpredictable ways.
I still don't see the real reasons why they left Calimport but perhaps that is still a tale to tell. I am hoping that he has many more books to write with Jarlaxle as the main character. Enteri is facinating on his own accord, however, he is already 40 so it is going to be hard pushed making to many more novels with an aging Enteri.

A must read for the Forgotten Realms fan.
