| This was one of the most amazing things I've read in along time. I completely forgive Ed Greenwood for writing that disgusting novel "spellfire." This book shows an entire history, thousands of years, with never loosing interest. The second is pretty good too, these are almost Salvatore level. | |||

| If you have never read any Forgotten Realms books, start here. Cormyr: A Novel brings to life an incredible history of the Cormyrean lands. The authors bounce between an ascending timeline and a current timeline. Of course, there is an epic struggle and the usual treachery you will find within said kingdoms. The selling point of this novel is the history, hands down. This happens to be book one in a trilogy, so an alternate selling point is obvious - the brilliant history sets the reader up for an epic among epics in the following two books. You'll get feverishly attached to brilliant cast of characters that are presented, and may even find yourself having a quiet cry. Read it, and let me know what you think. Any fellow Cormyreans out there? | |||
