That's a really subjective question. Some of us love them, some of us don't. The general opinion seems to be that the books are good, but YMMV (your mileage may vary).

I thought the books were generally quite good (and I rarely enjoy FR or most other fantasy novels) thanks to some interesting characters.

However, I didn't enjoy the overall plot idea very much and have to admit that I won't be including the events in my own FR campaigns.

If you read through some of the pages here at the keep about the series you will get a broad group of opinions alreayd written in detail.

I wish there was a translation of the rest of the text aside from the spell lists.

My stuff at the DnD-Gate:

Well, it is a German site that I write for and most articles are in German. Most of the PrC are English though. I have "Drow Tactics 3,5" on the shelf, as well as a Run-down of all Core Classes and PrC. All will be done in English. If real life would be more kind ...
