Somehow, I can't see it stopping at four if it is detailing the most important or famous cities in the Realms if it only has Raven's Bluff, Eversult, Alaghon, and Waterdeep...
I could certainly see a Calimport novel, Westgate, Arabel, Suzail, Mezro... the list could go on and on.
The list could go on and on, but I don't see that happening. I think that after only a handful, interest would begin to wane.
The Harpers run was kind of a unique case. Most of the tales had absolutely nothing to do with each other, and were just kinda lumped into one series. |

| But will it end up being four-strong? The list can go on, but will it? |

I don't think there is any way to currently know whether or not the series will continue. Originally, I do not believe anyone thought the Waterdeep novel would be a part of the series. |

Four seems to be the standard currently, when it's not part of a trilogy, that is.
As for the Cities, I've only read City of Ravens but I very much enjoyed it. I'm also a little disappointed City of Splendours will be in hardcover first as it's highly unlikely my finances will stretch to it. |
Life is either daring adventure or nothing. |

I generally avoid the hardcovers, but this one will be an exception.  |

From what I heard from people, Corin has great character development but initially he didn't seem like a great character. The whole cliched thing I'm talking about is the man-meets-up-with-girl-who-changes-his-life cliche I've seen in many stories. I don't know that's just me.
However, there is no romance between Corin and the girl he meets, which *is* a deviation from the norm, and a good one at that. Also, it features a gnome that the story actually takes seriously, which is also good.
So far I've only read Temple Hill, and I thought it was a great book. I've never seen City of Ravens in stores, so I'll have to get it on line. I own Jewel of Turmish, but haven't bothered to read it yet. |

I normally only purchase Ed's books in hardcover, although the WotSQ novels were the exception, and so it seems, will be City of Splendors.

Well met
Indeed. On this occassion, i'll have to purchase both the hardcover (for prestige and immediate reading) and the paperback a year later (to place next to the other tomes in the Cities series, for completeness  |
