After reading the most recent ones, I'm not sure I could face reading the middle ones that I skipped...I've written more about the book on <a href="http://merricb.com/2015/09/08/book-review-vengeance-of-the-iron-dwarf/" target="_blank">my blog</a>, but reading it wasn't a joyful experience. It's useful knowing the orcs (manipulated by the drow) managed to lay siege to most of the settlements in the Silver Marches during the period (a few years before the current day in the Realms, but after the Sundering), and even destroyed a couple of them.Unfortunately, then there was the rest of the book (and the trilogy). I am by no means a Drizzt-hater, and there are books of Salvatore's that I really like. These aren't them. I've noticed my taste in preferred reading changing over the last decade, and I now read a lot more urban fantasy than I used to, and much fewer epic fantasies, but that doesn't mean I can't enjoy a good traditional epic. (I'm really looking forward to Brandon Sanderson's next book in his Stormlight Archive series). This just wasn't good. Honestly, I think it was pretty awful.Is there a new Erin M. Evans book coming out soon? I need to read a D&D book with characters I enjoy...Cheers!</blockquote>
