Fat freaking out Avatar you really turn over books!
I'm reading Trudi Canavan- her new series. Read her Black Magicians Trilogy and the Traitor Queen and that Triligy - this is next triligy. None are related. She needs a better editor as there are quite frequently typos and mis-words but she slowly develops intriguing worlds and characters. I do love the attention she pays to narrative and developing her characters.
Recently read one of Kate Forsyth trilogies very fun, Sara Douglas was enjoyable. But I'm a slow reader, mostly before the light goes out![😏](//twemoji.maxcdn.com/2/svg/1f60f.svg)

That sounds GREAT, defintely adding this to my list.The Stone Sky is mostly set in a single supercontinent referred to as the Stillness by its inhabitants
I'm about halfway trough the Dritzt Do'Urden books by R.A. Salvatore. Havent read them since I was in middle school, they're entertaining! Not the best writing, but it brings back DnD memories.

You probably already know this if you looked it up, but just in case - you'll want to start with The Fifth Season. The Stone Sky is the last in a trilogy.
Oh, a change is coming, feel these doors now closing

I will brook no criticism of Weis & Hickman Dragonlance books! They were my gateway drug. Plus every single other Dragonlance book not written but that duo was God-awful.Sorus wrote:I liked R.A.

I think The Second Generation is where I started losing interest. I liked most of the ones with the main characters. Absolutely agree about the ones by other authors being terrible - and I read more of those than I care to admit.Horrim Carabal wrote:I will brook no criticism of Weis & Hickman Dragonlance books!
