[QUOTE="Crothian, post: 3434425, member: 232"] I'm also reading them to get a feel for the setting. The book of Short Stories was very hit and miss. Writers I'd heard of were the hits. I'm just 100pgs into City of Towers and so far it is pretty good. It has the feel of a PC group in that they are kind of randomly attached to each other by circumstance and just manage to get their way through it. I like the use of the infusions in the book and I hope the artificer PC has read it. If not I'm suggesting he does. I read the first book in the Dragon Below series (Binding Stone). I found it by far more interesting plot wise then any of the others and like how it deals with areas the RPG books really suck at covering. I also read the first in the Lost Mark (Marked for Death). I really like the idea behind the lost mark making a come back but I feel the writer had no real idea how to pull together a coherent 300page story. It reads like a bunch of random encounters practically and the characters are just not all that great. But it is a series I will complete by getting the books from the library. ;) [/QUOTE]
