[QUOTE="mhacdebhandia, post: 4836765, member: 18832"] I like Keith Baker's Dreaming Dark trilogy - though it must be said that each book he's written has been better and more polished than the last, so after reading [i]Queen of Stone[/i] you may find [i]City of Towers[/i] a little rough. Still, Keith has the benefit of having invented the setting, and his focus on three Cyran veterans is a good angle on the world. Don Bassingthwaite's Dragon Below trilogy - [i]The Binding Stone[/i], [i]The Grieving Tree[/i], [i]The Killing Song[/i] - is excellent. He puts a lot of thought into the cultures involved in his stories, clearly "gets" Eberron in a way that few authors do, and I personally like the fact that he focuses on some of the "less civilised" areas and peoples of the world. Some of his characters continue in [i]The Doom of Kings[/i], the first novel in a new trilogy (Heirs of Dhakaan, I think, which should tell you what it's about). Rich Wulf is also good, although in my opinion more because he's got colourful characters and a vivid writing style than because it particularly [b]feels[/b] like an Eberron story. That said, some touches are definitely perfect. James Wyatt's hardcover trilogy is a big, epic story unlike anything any other writer is telling, but I enjoy it - and his standalone novel in the War Torn series, [i]In The Claws of the Tiger[/i], is actually really fun. His interest in the religions of Eberron really shows through. You could do worse than pick up [i]Tales of the Last War[/i], a short story anthology. There are several stories in there tied to trilogies or standalone novels in the War Torn series - they'll give you a hint of whether or not you'll enjoy the longer stories, I think. I especially like James Wyatt's and Keith Baker's stories, which are prequels to [i]In The Claws of the Tiger[/i] and the Dreaming Dark respectively. [/QUOTE]
