I do have a genuine interest in reading the Dark Elf trilliogy. At least for now, the guy is being given a chance. He’s one of the Forgotten Realms most productive writers.
and I’m not saying it’s bad… just that I haven’t seen anything marvelous out of him yet.
As for doing brave things to good characters. In Song of Fire and Ice, we’ve already seen one major character Cripled for life, and a second beheaded in front of his two preteen daughters, just by the end of book one. It was absolutely heart wrenching. I love that stuff.
Oh yeah - the best bits are always when they do something nasty to the main characters.
It was like Final Fantasy VII, when they killed off Aeris. Games almost never kill off a main character, so you didn’t expect it and it threw you. If a book does something similar then I’m pleased - it’s like “no-one’s safe”.

True - they’re good books, and I have a lot of time for them, but Lord Of The Rings they ain’t.
but it seems that you managed to start a good chat.
david, afterreading your posts, i´ll surely gonna read that song of fire and ice book. that is the kind of book i like. i never read any rpg-based book, like these DL books kit loved to read, and i´m starting to.
i´m more in to writers like Tolkien, Zahn, Rice, Lovecraft…
in that order. i have preety much all tolkiens books, with few exeptions, and i´m marvelled by his style as much as i am by his tales.
i´m reading now james lowder´s Knight of the Black Rose, a Ravenloft book, during my launch time and H.P. Lovecraft´s Call of Cthulhu and other writings at night.
i´m browsing for books right now, read all i got twice.
do you guys have any sugestion? i really apreciate.
What I mean is that Lord Of The Rings is an absolute classic book and, whilst the ones by R A Salvatore are good, they’re nowhere near as good as LotR. :stunned:
I love that stuff.
