Luthien's Gamble

Rating:
Summary: Slow start, great final.
Review: The second book of the "Crimson Shadow" is what I have expected - very good adventure story with a lot of combats. However that the first chapters are kinda boring(Luthien doesn't know who to love - Sioban, beautiful female halfelf or Catherin, his first girlfriend), the final is awesome, with hearthstopping magical duel.
Reccomended.

Summary: Amazing book, one of his best
Review: This book is amazing, a good read. The characters have depth, the story is good, and combat scenes are nothing short of amazing. this is good but the Dark Elf Trilogy is better.

Summary: The worst novel of R.A. Salvatore
Review: This book is awful. Don't waste your time and money with this uninspiring work. Don't buy it.

Summary: the best mideveal time books i've ever read
Review: this trilogy is the best of any that i've ever read. i'm thirteen years old, and am a huge Salvatore fan. (the biggest ever)he describes the battles and gore better than anyone. i was obsessed with star wars only, but now i can't decide between lightsabers or swords. As far as i'm concerned the world revolves around both trilogies

Summary: Unimaginative and uninspiring
Review: This trilogy is the first I have read of R. A. Salvatore's works, and I have to say it will be the last. The stories are very simplistic - the heroes full of (noisome) witty repartie and banter as they fight endless hordes of cyclopians (I wish I had a pound for every time the word 'brute' is used substituted), wizard-dukes and other two dimensional foes. This really is sword & sorcery by numbers. There is no plot that piques your interest or pricks your sense of wonder; the heroes just go from same-old fight to same-old fight, which serves as interminable fillers in the progression from oppressed country in the first book to free country in the third book. If you're under 10 or easily pleased then you might like this. If, however, you prefer a little more from your fantasy then you should read J. R. R. Tolkien (anyone who hasn't, hasn't lived), J. V. Jones (for excellent realism), Robin Hobb (wonder plots and characters), Robert Jordan (for mega-quests), David Eddings (a little formulaic but fun), etc. This is one reader that hopes the Crimson Shadow stays hidden in his magic cape in future...

Summary: You People are out of your MINDS!
Review: This trilogy was great! Full of adventure, heartbreak, romance, and about as many laughs as Carrot-Top in performance! It was a refreshing break from Drizzt and his band. Something light hearted and fantastic, as opposed to the oh so serious world of our Drow friend. Yes Drizzt is still number one in my book, but in a book of compilation stories? I wouldn't mind another tale of The three friends in the new area they talk of causing mischief in!

Summary: Salvatore does it again!!!
Review: This was a great book!!... I would'nt say that it was the best from the Crimson Shadow Trilogy, but, still, it was awesome. I first read The Dragon King, the third and last book, and I thought "Whoa, this is the best book I ever read!", so I bought the two remaining books, The Sword Of Bedwyr and Luthiens Gamble. I just love how he describes stuff, he does'nt just say "Hey, look, that lady is about thirty years old!" instead he says "That remarkable young woman has not seen thirty winters", you know what I mean?!To show you how much I loved The Crimson Shadow Triology, it has'nt been two weeks since I read The Dragon King and im reading it again!! So if you like Science Fiction dont hesitate in scrolling up and pressing "Add this book to my shopping cart"!!!!!
