Most of those Forgotten Realms books I have never been able to get into, but the Mel Odom trilogy, <i>Threat from the Sea</i>, is actually worthy of acclaim, in my opinion. Realistic, growing characters, and a plot that's not just a rehash of most typical fantasy. I highly suggest checking it out. Also, as far as more Drizz't books go, most people agree that, unfortunately, <i>Streams of Silver</i>, though entertaining, is mostly an almost-plagiaristic rewriting of <i>The Hobbit</i>, but the trilogy afterwards (the <i>Legacy of the Drow</i> series, I believe?) is pretty good.TankSpillhttp://atreacherousmemory.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5711195880526876235.post-80106228958736075582010-11-19T14:12:15.954-05:002010-11-19T14:12:15.954-05:00awesome

Much of the other FR stories by other authors are hit or miss. Personally I loved the Evaris Cale trilogy and a few others here and there.<br /><br />But if I could talk you into reading any other shared world books it would be to order Paul Kidd's "Justicar" books from the Greyhawk world. (kind of a trilogy, but not) Easy reads, fast paced and tons of fun. I had the same sort of fun reading those as I used to have in a good game of D&D back in the day.Jeremy Shanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16166047156691906389noreply@blogger.com
