This, That, & The Other Thing

Random thoughts about MMORPG gaming. This blog may not be used more than once, only time will tell. I have my own gaming blog that I generally post to.

Author: Mysk

Any of the Drizzt series, there are a couple more recent ones

Theres the Transitions Triolgy I believe by Salvatore. Only the first one is out right now, called The Orc King. The second one is supposed tocome out later this year I think. I haven't read it yet so I don't know if it's any good. 

Ed Greenwods trillogy about the nights of Myth drannor is good, try it. I think the first book is names "Halls of evningstar", was a year ago I read it.

The older harper serie have quite a few good ones. I stay clear of Salvatore after the Icewind dale trillogy, just don't like them, the characters seems a bit 2 dimensional to me.

If you still can find them, is the "Curse of the azure bounds" one of the best older series, also the never 2 books about cormyr are really good, Death of the dragon (cant remember the first ones name), Ed Greenwod there too (together with someone else, don't remeber who).

I just picked up The Orc King by Salvatore. I need to get into it when I find the time

Salvatore is boring. Just a drow killing everything, no real story.

Try any of the Paul S. Kemp books, imo the best author of Forgotten Realms. Wrote some Sembia, Erevis Cale, and the Twilight War series.. it's leading up to a new realms shaking event somewhat like the time of troubles. Ancient Netheril is back, bitches.

I went ahead and ordered Twilight Falling, and I'll look for a couple of these other recommended books from the local library.

Thanks folks!

Of course, I'm stll open to further recommendations.

Personally I prefer the Dragonlance series of books. I've also been presently surprised by the Ebberon books as well.

*pleasantly surprised, that is, by Ebberon books.

all the drizzt books, if you havent read them are great.

These aren't Forgotten Realm books, but they are top-notch fantasy books(way better, imo). Actually they are books in a series. Malazan Book of the Fallen by Steven Erikson. He has 5 or 6 out for that series, and he has been bringing one out a year. Also, A Song of Fire and Ice by George R R Martin. A Song of Fire and Ice is incredible with 4 books out so far, but sadly the author hasn't released another book in over 3 years. He keeps pushing the release date back on his current project. He missed his latest projection of August '08.

My favorite is A Song of Fire and Ice. It will leave you waiting for his 5th book if it ever comes out.

Dragonlance is good too, of course.  One of my old faves is a DL novel, "The Legend of Huma".  Then of course there is the Time of The Twins series.

I've also read the various "Dragons of X", where X is a season, such as Dragons of Autmn Twilight.

It's been a good long while since I've read a DL book.

I've read some of the Drizzt books.  The last one that I read, if I recall correctly, was about a year ago.

Brostyn, I'll check some of those while I"m at the library.

Thanks for feedback, all.

A Song of ice and fire from George R R martin .. definetly .. Otherwise ... Rhapsody from Elizabeth Haydon is still awesome too
