Actually, I've nothing against RAS, so long as we're discussing his Realms books (I read two of his non-Realms books, and didn't care for them). 
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. |

Wooly, if you have not yet done so, read Salvator's DemonWars series. It's leagues above and beyond his Drizzt novels in plot, character development, and political intrigue.

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. |

| In all fareness, "The hunters blade trilogy" was fantastic, but did leave me a little wanting in the end?! I am and always will be a much bigger fan of "The dark elf trilogy" |

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

| SirUrza, What do you think the premise will be of the new novel? Do you think it will stand up to a "Dark elf trilogy" or even the "Ice wind dale trilogy"? |

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. |

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

| 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. |

| 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 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. |

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:
