Well, first off, the fact that everything that is said about something which is not out yet is complete heresay! What I have heard is that the story will be about two of his best characters, including my favorite, Jarlaxle! Aside from that, I am truly ready for some other characters to take some lime light!
All in all, I guess I am jsut really excited about the book! If I have made it seem like I know everything about the novel I do apologize too all! (quote:

Which is what? What details that you have read have you "convinced that it will be one of the best, if not THE best, of RAS works to date?"

I agree Xysma.I have always said that the dwarves should be featured as well.Not necessarily the ones that you have mentioned. |

Frankly, I'm disappointed to see him rehashing any of his characters. I was hoping for something completely new. I like Jarlaxle and Artemis as much as the next guy, but if he's gotta use old characters, why not Thibbledorf Pwent or the Bouldershoulder boys? Now that's a book I could get excited about. |

I actually can't comment without being bias. I'm actually annoyed to find out that he did a Artemis and Jarlaxle novel. Artemis and Jarlaxle coulda been handle in short stories while he got the Heroes of the Hall up to 1372 ATLEAST. |

Being a foil for Drizzt, Well put Rinonalyrna! I have been reading alot about this new novel, and am still convinced that it will be one of the best, if not THE best, of RAS works to date! I am a fan of the Drizzt stories but not so much the character (If that makes any sense at all). I just feel that Jarlaxle will be RAS saving grace in the very near future! |

I will definitely check this new novel out--I really like Jarlaxle, and I feel Entreri has been developed well beyond his original, thankless role of being a foil for Drizzt. |

The short story featuring them in Realms of the Dragon was entertaining. So, I too might check out this novel. Might. |

Sorry about that, my snarky friend!
Though I'm not an RAS fan, and I've not even read the most recent Drizzt books, I am looking forward to this one. Why? I like Jarlaxle a lot more than Drizzt (because Jarlaxle has style!  ), and I like the interplay between Artemis and Jarlaxle. Further, I'm looking forward to seeing the continued development of these two -- I got tired of Artemis Entreri being the anti-Drizzt. |

You and everyone else. I think it has a lot to do with Silver Marches cutting the feet out of him. |

I dunno... Like I said, I've read two of his non-Realms books, and I don't want to read either of them again. After a track record like that, I'm not exactly eager to give him another shot. |

However, I am tired of Drizzt Do'Urden, and RAS is not on my list of favorite Realms authors.
To each his own, and all that. |
