I suppose with the 100 year jump and 10 years after the release of the City of Ravens book it is pointless to keep my fingers crossed about getting a sequel?
Richard Baker's story involving Jack is one of my favorites. It stepped a bit out of bounds from the usual storyline you find in Realms books with an unlikely hero (or anti-hero) full of humor, twists, and great dialogue.
I guess I must resort to rereading it for the 6th time.  |

I enjoyed the book, but it wasn't one of my favorites. |

I've been barking up this tree for years. City of Ravens is the best stand alone FR novel EVER! |

Also one of my favorites. It was my jumping on point to the Realms my second time around, when I began playing D&D as an adult.
It's such a shame they never did any more with this character. |

Glad to see I wasn't the only one who enjoyed it! |

it's the best FR novel period! and it's not close IMO
Jack could've easily carried a couple trilogies
and as the end of the book showed, he was full of surprises he wasn't even aware of so i can see how it could be manipulated where he could still be seen |

This was also one of my favorite FR books ever....its been many years though. Didn't he know shadow magic...perhaps he could achieve prologued life with that...or something  . |

Perhaps he got spellscarred with the ability to time travel and is now going to go back in time and save Mystra!! |

The book is on my re-read list too, truly one of the best I have read in the realms.
Unless he fell through a gate....got trapped in Stasis....etc, etc  |
