Aye. The "Watercourse" trilogy is among my stacks of 'To-Read' books. Not quite sure when I'll get to them.
Do yourself a favor Sage...
Toss them on your Vortex, take a stick and push them down to the bottom, never to be seen again. This trilogy was the one thing that maddened Rino more than any other.....One word....Phyrea.....what a mind numbing character.
Oh, I don't like dismissing any Realms novel without first reading it. I'll get to them eventually. Probably later this year.
That is, if I just stop buying any more new books and adding them to my unread stacks.

Keep buying...and if you get close....I may buy you a tome or two!

You said the first book didn't grab you. Don't expect the second will. They're equally disappointing. Bear in mind, though, that this comment comes from someone who only likes one thing (Marek Rymut) in the series, and who wants to strangle Ivar, drown Phyrea in the Lake of Steam, and burn the rest of the characters.
Wouldn't say they are equally disappointing, that's unfair.
They are increasingly disappointing
You have the right of it!
Did you read all 3? I read the 1st and 2nd, but I couldn't further torture myself with the last.
I did read all three I was in the process of buying ole realms stuff I missed so I would have every novel....I bought all three at the same time.....so even though it I would have liked to skip it, I had already shelled out the $
And I had hopes the the red wizard in the novels would triumph and kill em all....but that didn't happen.
Lucky for me I only bought 2 at the same time. Though even if I had bought all 3, I don't think I would bother reading the last.
I also hoped Marek, with some reinforcement from Thay, would kill them all.

Well at that time, it was the only FR novel I had not read on my shelf and any book seemed better than none

phyrea as annoying as she was is probably the closest thing to a 3 dimensional female character there has been in a realms novel.
Other than annoying....she had a second dimension?
i actually think she is quite a 21st century character.you read about women like her in tabloid newspapers everyday.in that respect shes quite well written.
go back to sleep america.everything is under control.heres american gladiators.watch this.shuttup. BILL HICKS.
Just because she she reflects a minuscule semblance to real people doesn't mean she's interesting. One can write about "street dogs" fighting over a piece of meat---such happens in the RW. Does it sound/look interesting? No.
