Review title: Lack of adventure.
Product review: Salvatore's best writing comes in his depiction of action. I am a fan of his attempts at psycho/sociological commentary in the guise of a fantasy, even though he beats you over the head with them more than he really delves. I like a good balance of intelligence and excitement.The Sword of Bedwyr did not make me want to run out and read the sequel. It makes me hope the sequel is better, but I'm in no hurry to find out. I just kept thinking it was slow and relatively uneventful. I tried to make excuses for it, thinking "Maybe he wants to tell the story of a hero who isn't born superior to all around him (say Drizzt?), and wants to show how that character develops into someone more interesting."Well, an origin story doesn't have to be action-packed to be intriguing, but if the intrigue doesn't pay out, then you're stuck with a dissapointed reader. My advice to R.A. on this one: A little more, little earlier.
