Recently read the Lady Penetent series as far as has been released. I really enjoyed it. I liked the realms shaking or changing events. I also am up to date on the RAS novels and wondered if there is something else new out there that has oh, I don't know Gods dying cities being destroyed in seeming preperation for D&D 4th ed.? Also any other older series that is to good to miss. I have read all RAS, Harper's, Daughter of the Drow series, Avatar series. I am currently working on the Dungeon series which I am enjoying well enough. I also have read sword and song.
I would like to read some new stuff mostly to keep with whats new in the realms. |

(And I mentioned the second). And Rogue Dragons...hmm, except for Sammy, it was a lot less RSE than I had expected, so I was going more by the RSE request of hooper101, than personal preference(though I really, really liked the Cormyr trilogy and Blackstaff and I liked the bigger part of Last Mythal).
True in that the first Kemp trilogy was not RSE. I disagree with your assessment that the year of Rogue Dragons was not since the entire Realms was under attack from raging dragons |

Well, if you like RSEs...
- Cormyr Trilogy (Cormyr, Beyond the High Road, Death of the Dragon), great read
- The Last Mythal trilogy, mostly a great read
- Return of the Archwizards trilogy, erm...I canīt personally recommend this one, but it is a RSE
- the ongoing Haunted Lands (Richard Lee Byers, great so far) and Twilight War trilogy (Paul S. Kemp and so far fantastic)
- Blackstaff by Steven Schend, fantastic novel
For older series or novels...geez, there are a lot of gems there. But if I have to choose one, then (for itīs a style I dearly miss) I suggest The Finderīs Stone trilogy by Grubb and Novak. īCause, well, you canīt beat Grubb and Novak at their thing. Thereīs even a God dying there...somewhere *wink*.
And anything with the name Greenwood as the author...
I prefer the Year of Rogue Dragons and Paul Kemp's Everis Cale stuff to one's you have mentioned. |
