1. The City of Ravens by Richard Baker
2. Temple Hill by Drew Karpyshyn (whose forefathers, considering the last name, obviously weren't treated badly enough at Ellis Island )
3. The Jewel of Turmish by Mel Odom
4. The City of Splendours by Ed Greenwood & Elaine Cunningham |
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.

| As far as I know, though, they are all stand-alone novels--you don't have to read them in any particular order. |
"Instead of asking why we sleep, it might make sense to ask why we wake. Perchance we live to dream. From that perspective, the sea of troubles we navigate in the workaday world might be the price we pay for admission to another night in the world of dreams."

And thank goodness for that, The Jewel of Turmish is nigh well impossible to find in Sweden |

*chuckles* With me, it's the opposite--I found The Jewel of Turmish easily, but I've never seen The City of Ravens in any store.  |

That's a shame, after City of Splendors its the best one, IMHO. |
There are as many nights as days, and the one is just as long as the other in the year's course. Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word 'happy' would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.

| Are there plans to continue the cities series after The City of Splendors? There was quite a break between The Jewel of the Turmish and City of Splendors was there not? |

| From what I've heard, City of Splendors was to be the last Cities novel. |

Quite true. It seems in keeping with the other "title-like" series of FR novels with which there are four books -- Priests, Rogues, and now Fighters being the more recent examples.

Agreed, it is certainly "a shame" that the book is so difficult to locate--I still view Ravens as the best book in the series.

And until the release of CoS, I would have agreed with you.
Ed and Elaine's grand work however, changed my opinion. 'Twas a pleasure to experience.

Oh well, I can still get City of Ravens online, but I'd rather just find it in a bookstore (it's nice not to have to pay for shipping). |

Me too. But there are so many that I can't find anywhere. I've bought quite a few from Amazon, but you have to make sure that you are not ordering from too many different sellers. I've made several great buys from ebay recently, and their shipping charges are usually much more realistic. Has anyone found any online used bookstores that have alot of FR books? There are still several I need.
Thanks |

It depends... Where are you currently located? I know of a few online retailers, but shipping to specific countries can be costly depending upon where you live.

I'm in the USA, almost ordered a book from GB until I did the conversion, ouch!
Just ordered another 12 from Amazon and Ebay (that echo you hear is the sound of my empty purse). I still can't find Tymora's Luck (at a reasonable price) or The Shadow Stone. |

Hehe... I can find you both Tymora's Luck and The Shadow Stone for $4.95 AUS (the owner of the bookstore where these novels are located doesn't realise how rare these two books have become ). I'd purchase and ship them to you, but postage and handling to the US will likely be just as expensive .

| A great site to try for finding these FR books is www.bookfinder.com. This site is basically a bot that combs through several online used book sites, including Abebooks, biblio and powells. I use it all the time for those hard-to-find books. They have Tymora's Luck for as low as $7.64, and The Shadow Stone as low as $3.00 in the US. |

Well thank you! Postage would be a killer, but I will keep it in mind, I seem to have developed an obsession to collect all of the FR novels........
