Rhys Mayiessen Posted November 17, 2002 Share Posted November 17, 2002 I think the Fogotten Realms series is really good (thought not as good as Dragonlance) and I've read the Cleric Quintet which I thought had a very good and sad ending to it. I've just started to read the Icewind Dale Trilogy which seems to be the most famous of the books:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zidane11 Posted November 17, 2002 Share Posted November 17, 2002 I'm in the middle of it. So far it's really good. I haven't read the other two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandy Posted November 17, 2002 Share Posted November 17, 2002 Yay! Fantasy books!:D Me likey! Eh, yes, FR-series... You better leave R.A.Salvatore after you've read the Icewind dale and Black Elf, because I tell you, from that on, it's going to SUCK! Instead, read Elaine Cunningham's Daughter of Drow-series and Swords and Songs-series -SHE's good. No, BRILLIANT! But about the whole concept of Forgotten Realms... What's so "forgotten" about them? The series don't have such an unifying element as the Dragonlance-series, thus it's more scattered as a series. Each book/trilogy/series in it is more of a story of it's own, and has nothing in common with the others except "Forgotten Realms"-logo on the cover, and some places. But I must admit, it's fantasy at it's purest, so I guess anybody who likes fantasy will not regret reading the books -at least MOST of the books (I repeat, R.A.Salvatore's later production REEKS!)*groan* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foredaddy Posted November 18, 2002 Share Posted November 18, 2002 Yeah Ive read most of the books with Drizzt Do'Urden in them. THe Dark Elf Trilody, Icewind Dale, and um.... well I cant remember the other ones. It has been a while, but they were great.:mrt: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had heard that the Icewind Dale and the Black Elf were the best of the Forgotten Realms! People talk about and draw Drizzt all the time on a web site called Elfwood. Oh well I guess I'm stuck reading them though because I bought them and didn't borrow them. I still liked the Cleric Quintet though.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said AFTER Icewind dale and Black elf leave the author be, because the "Drows legacy"-series and that on are FAR from as good as the first two trilogies. ALTHOUGH if you're a true fantasylover, you should read every book from every fantasy-author you can get your hands into.;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhys Mayiessen Posted November 19, 2002 Author Share Posted November 19, 2002 :blush: Oh sorry Sage I didn't really see the AFTER in your sentence. I guess I should read things more carefully then;) I've read some more of the Icewind Dale trilogy and its getting more interesting but I still don't get what the crystal Shard is all about.

Sandy Posted November 20, 2002 Share Posted November 20, 2002 I'm not sure if I mean the same thing, but Errtu's crystal is an EEEVIL thing. It comes more important in future books, when it get's in Jarlaxle's posession... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhys Mayiessen Posted November 20, 2002 Author Share Posted November 20, 2002 I see...well right now its not in Errtu's hands it is actually in Akar Kessel's possesion though Errtu is now at Akar Kessel's castle but he dare not take away the Cystal Shard for it might hurt him or something like that:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
