Forgotten Realms

I first read them ages and ages ago, and I still read the new ones when they come out in paperback. Though honestly, Drizzt's adventures don't thrill me as much any more. Reading about Salvatore's characters is like having a fun little romp with old friends, so there's still some appeal on that personal level. But barring Entreri and Jarlaxle's adventures, the books have been kind of unspectacular lately. The only thing the Hunter's Blade books had going for them was the last ten pages or so of The Two Swords, when...

Spoiler:

...Catti-brie and Drizzt finally get together. ABOUT. BLOODY. TIME.

In the latest short story in Realms of the Elves, I was worlds more interested in...

Spoiler:

Tos'un's

...character development than in Drizzt's.

Still loving Entreri and Jarlaxle, though. Can't wait for Road of the Patriarch next October. It's going to finally expose Entreri's past, which is bound to make for some interesting reading.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I'd recommend abandoning the Wheel of Time books. Just walk away, right now. Spare yourself the agony of reaching book eight or nine and finally realising that you wasted all those hours reading one of the most wretched, clichéd, dragged-out fantasy series of all time.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
