Poll Question:
I just returned from a shopping-spree with three new (to me) novels set in the realms. Now I'd like some help from my fellow scribes with deciding which one to start with.
(Yes, I'm inceribly lazy sometimes .
Thanks in advance

There is a rumour going around that I have found god. I think is unlikely because I have enough difficulty finding my keys, and there is empirical evidence that they exist.

Of those three, all I've read is The Rage... But man, that is one awesome novel!  |

| I'd go with The Rage. It's the first book in the series and the next installment is coming out next month. |

| I think the Crimson Gold is a great book to start with. Especially if you have read the Sembia series |

| Well, having never read any of these, I would hit crimson gold first, for no better reason(do I need one?) than I like thay. |

| Shadow's Witness was a spectacular novel. I'd read that one. |

| I've read all except Shadow's Witness. If you have read the Halls of Stormweather (first in the series) and are as much into the Sembia series as I am then definitely start with Shadow's Witness. Even if I haven't read the Halls of Stormweather, I'd still go Shadow's Witness. |

If anyone's asking, I'm waiting for my ordered copy of Shadow's Witness to arrive... that's why I haven't read it yet. |

Well time to sink into a hot bath and a book... And taking the recommendations of the voters here it'll be Shadow's Witness.
Thank ye all for your input |
