Promise of the Witch-King (Forgotten Realms: The Sellswords, Book 2) (Bk. 2) ReviewR. A. Salvatore just has a gift for creating memorable characters, whether they are protagonists or antagonists. In fact, when I sit and think about it I can name nearly every character he's ever created. But the obvious one is Drizzt, and perhaps second to him is Drizzt's mortal enemy Entreri. Any fan of Salvatore knows this name, and no doubt hates (in a good way, to be sure) this character as much as they love Drizzt.Promise of the Witch King is the sequel to Servant of the Shard, the first book that contains Entreri but no Drizzt, and it was a brilliant book. In fact, it still ranks highly among my all time favorite action fantasy books.
In Witch King, Salvatore does even more to separate Entreri from Drizzt by placing him and his partner--or manipulator--Jarlaxle in an entirely new setting (it can be found in Demon Stone, a video game written by Salvatore). Still, it has the Salvatore touch with action scenes written as easily as we would sign our own name, and a stream of new, lovable characters.
Now, without spoiling, I will attempt to describe the plot of this story. In the wild lands of Bloodstone, only recently freed from the dark clutches of an evil lord, Entreri and Jarlaxle are attempting to make a name for themselves while also acting as double agents for two dragons. In the opening, they are battling in a magically created tower, which had once belonged to the terrible and powerful Witch King, who long ago died yet still has a grip on the land. When a second tower is magically constructed, warriors seeking fame and fortune decide to defend the realm and perhaps save two dying souls that are directly tied to the tower. But with the rag-tag band comes clashes and plenty of secrets, and as these secrets unravel, disaster eventually strikes and the heroes becomes enemies with each while they are still battling the evil forces of the Witch King. In the end, it leaves a few more revelations about Entreri that weren't there before, and he ends up, I think, as a more likable character. And, of course, Jarlaxle is up to his same old mischief.
What's best about this novel is not the book itself, but the promise (ironic, really) of the future to come for these two characters, for by the end an entirely new element is introduced and should end up making the Sellswords series as good as any Salvatore has written before.
I'd recommend this to long-standing fans of Salvatore, fans of Dungeons and Dragons--though it's not required, as I'm no such fan--or lovers of classic swords & sorcery stories, as Salvatore is easily the best there is right now. I can't recommend this to anyone seeking to get into Salvatore now, however, because you will be left lost among the characters and history, which is long and deep.Promise of the Witch-King (Forgotten Realms: The Sellswords, Book 2) (Bk. 2) Overview
