I just finished the book and I'm starting Viper's Kiss. What did you think of Venom's Taste?

| I wanted to be apart in all the book club discussions so I've put alot of the newer books in front of the older books on my reading list. I just finished Venom's Taste and I must say that I'm really impressed. I was a little worried because I started reading the older books a year and a half ago and really enjoyed them. Now the only authors that still write for Forgotten Realms since the begginning are Salvatore, Greenwood and Cunningham. Well anyway I started reading the newer stuff and it's not what I have expected. Venom's Taste blow me away. Very well written. I love the fact that Lisa shows us that a non-magic user rouge can make magical Items too. It's good stuff and I can't wait to introduce it in my gaming group. I didn't know to much about the Yuan-ti and now I got a clear picture. It's to bad Arvin couldn't save his buddy but it sure was a great twist at the end. I wonder if Arvin and Zelia will meet in Viper's Kiss? |

Actually, Realms novels had been coming out for years before Elaine's first Realms novel. |

By my estimates Elaine should be the 10th FR author
Ed Greenwood
Troy Denning
RA Salvatore
Scott Ciencin
Douglas Niles
James M Ward and Anne K Brown
Kate Novak and Jeff Grubb
Ed, Troy and Elaine are the only ones who have written books since 3ed came out

Ha-hrrrrm... Where's Jeff Grubb and Kate Novak, Dargoth? |
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.

 geez you guys, you know what I mean. The first book of Cunningham's was published back in 1991. Thats only five years from the first book in 1986. I included her because thats close enough for me. Anyway, getting back to the thread, what did you think of the book Venom's Taste? |

| You know, I think darkcrow asked a question here, but there is so much fingerpointing that, I don't think, anyone has bothered to answer it. I would, except that I haven't read Ms. Smedman's novel yet...I am waiting until Vanity's Brood is released to read the entire trilogy in one sitting. I'll be happy to comment at that time. |

| Thanks Sheriff Joe. I thought they were being rude too. You will really enjoy yourself because so far it's a really good trilogy. |

Knock it off guys.
And yes, I'm removing some posts in this thread. |
For some of us, books are as important as almost anything else on earth. What a miracle it is that out of these small, flat, rigid squares of paper unfolds world after world, worlds that sing to you, comfort and quiet and excite you... Books are full of the things that you don't get in real life - wonderful, lyrical language, for instance, right off the bat. - Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird
