I haven't read any of those yet, so my opinion is maybe a little irrelevant, but I've heard good stuff about Venom in her Veins and The Shield of Weeping Ghosts.

Shield of Weeping Ghosts is surprisingly good. You should check out the short story that predates Shield book, its on the DND website I think.

Obsidian Ridge is ok but not anything spectacular by any means: NOTE!(This is only my opinion) Read it if you want to.

The rest I have not read yet.

Everything ends where it begins. Period.

Definitely The Shield of Weeping Ghosts. Great plot and characters. And a must-read if you dig wizards and/or the ancient history of the former warring settlers of Rashemen.

If you’re interested (and if you don’t mind spoilers), you may read my review here.

Every beginning has an end.

Venom in her Veins was pretty good. Also while I have not read it myself I hear that shield of weeping Ghosts is a very nice books as well. Rose of Sarifal is not the realms as you know them, its good if you want to read something thats different and more modern in its style.

Rose of Sarifal was just...weird.

I haven't read Venom in her Veins yet, but I hear it's good, and Obsidian Ridge was decent.
