[QUOTE="FCWesel, post: 1867788, member: 5222"] I too like the Salvatore stuff, but I like thre Cleric Quintet probably best of his stuff. I love Ivan and Pikel. Of the latest trilogy, I think books two and three have fallen short of the quality of the first books by a far margin. I really look forward to his next effort with Jarlaxel and Artemis (he's got two more books with them planned right now) as I am curious as to how he can make these not-good-guys get what is coming to them (kharmically) without making it a "punish-downer-fest". I LOVED Raven's Bluff. It is by far the absolute funnest of the Realms novels. Great characters and priceless moments (I love the mouse scene), the the over all story was a tad weak, I will admit. Hated, hated, hated the "avatar series". I am not a fan of Greenwood, though Cormyr was not too bad. I liked the first MOONSHAE series a lot, but its probably not a good example of "the realms" as its a location thing...the second was simply stinkypoop on toast. [/QUOTE]
